This
is one of Wahoo’s Indian head dresses that he wore on TV and to
the matches. And what is so neat about this, guys, is that I had
Wahoo in to do an autograph session, and I wanted something from
him to keep, and I actually asked him just for an old knee pad or
elbow pad or something. I just wanted something from him for my
room.
So when he showed up with
this head dress, you can only imagine how I
felt. I had no idea he would bring something like that for me. His
actual words to me were “Keep it, because there are not many
left.” I just thought that was so neat and special. This was
about a year before he died.

wrestling room at his home in Concord, NC., August 20, 2003.
