"The two top heels in the Pacific Northwest from the late 1970s until the early 1990s, Rip 'The Crippler' Oliver and myself, during our friendlier days.  Both of us wanted to rule the territory -- he with his group called The Clan, and me with my Army.   Eventually, there was a power struggle, and that led to me being attacked by former friends The Assassin (David Sierra), The Dynamite Kid (Tom Billington), and Oliver.  I had been a hated man in the territory for so long, I thought no one would help me out when I was down.  Fortunately, I was given the capable aid of Curt Hennig and Billy Jack Haynes.  And the battle was on!"

"I had worked as a heel (bad guy) for seven years at this point, so my playing the baby face (good guy) was a VERY big deal.  This was back in the day when switching sides actually meant something.
