The first real rib was in Japan with the great Danny Hodge. This was the first real time i traveled with him and he was the man that got me the booking over there. I still have great respect for that man and love him like a brother anyways, we were being driven that night by someone i cant remember the name but Danny said Tommy look at the stars they are so beautful over here more so than what you can seewere your sitting I said let me see danny he said no i don't want you hanging over me i asked one more time he said ok so Danny rolled the automatic window down and i stuck my head out the window and i said they look the same Danny! Well Danny rolled my head up in the window and started goosing me i'm very goosey well i pulled my head back in breaking the window and cut myself and i sat there wiping the blood for my face danny said i'm sorry tommy you ok i told him yeah i'm fine Danny said your not mad i said no why should i be it was funny. Danny said Tommy-son your alright kid you'll go far in the business and handed me something to wipe the blood with.
************************************************** Then there was the time in Shreveport,La we just got through wrestling and Jack
Brisco and Dory Funk Jr were throwing people in the swimming pool, well i just had one pair of clothes on cause i had to catch a plane to Nassa so my luggage was not with me. Jack said "TJ". Your going in the pool! So JAck and dory tried for 10 minutes to get me in they would get me 5 feet near the pool and i would hook a leg on Jack and stayed down low cause i'm stocky anyways. So while i was doing that i saw Dory coming in behind me to push us in and i bent down and Dory went right over us into the pool!!!! We sat down blown up and Jack looked at me and said "Your the swormmiest Bastard!" I told him when a black man doesn't want to go into water he aint goin! *************************************************
Poor ole Rufus R Jones God bless that mans soul i loved him and he was the easiest to pull a rib on. We were in Japan wrestling and Danny Hodge got the boys got together to pull a rib on Rufus. We had a plaque made up that we told the promotor to get all the boys together and say that they ran a poll and the fans voted on who was the #1 wrestler in Japan. We all got together and the promotor said the winner of the award goes to ............Rufus R Jones man he jumped up and was all smiles. We were clapping and patting him on the back. He took the plaque and went through the hall of the hotel showing all the women saying "it says i'm #1 wrestling in Japan" pointing at him self giving the #1 sign and the women would cover the faces and laugh! well the plaque was in japanese. He went all over Japan with that plaques saying "i'm #1", So right when we landed in the USA we told him what it really said the plaque said "Rufus R Jones #1 P***y Eater"! Man he couldnt believe it he was screamin and yelling but he knew it was all in fun and till the day he passed he had that plaque hanging on his wall. ***************************************************
Here's a classic rib! Me, Steve Kiern and Kevin Sullivan were driving to some town outside of Tampa Steve was driving and Kevin Said hey you got some trash under ur arm pit. Steve said What are you talking about? Kevin said that white trash under your arm pit Steve raised his arm and looked Kevin took a piece of gum and shoved on the hair of his arm pit were it got knotted up in there. I thought we were going to die laughing all the way to the arena!
*************************************************************
I was driving with Steve when he showed me his new 45 i said becareful with that thing man! He said hell you can never be to careful these days you really need to travel with this! he pulled it out real fast and shot his radio out of his van with it! I said holy Sh*&! You can't be to careful these days eh? Steve just said you think that funny don't you?

He's a classic Austin Idol. He was funny if he didn't like you he wouldn't have nothing to do with you he would drive himself to an arena than ride with someone he didn't like.Austin and i got along great and use to ride with each other aloti remember laying down in the seat and reaching over and honking his horn while he would behind someone or he would get out of the car and i'd turn on all the gimmicks the radio,wipers lights everything man he would jump everytime and act like he was mad but he would bust out laughing , well he just bought a brand new volvo and i looked over and it was on E. I told him Austin your going to run out of gas you need to get some it getting close to E, he said now Tom, let me tell you something about this Volvo they can get better gas than any other car they are a fine tune car top of all cars and it will not let you run out of gas.He keep driving i was getting mad cause i knew he was going to run out of gas and we would have to walk and get gas so i kept on him to get gas, but he kept driving and tell me to relax. Finally he dropped me off at my house and he drove away. I called him to make sure he made it home ok Austin said yeah i made it home ok i drive a Volvo............. but you know TJ i almost didnt make it home cause i ran out of gas when i pulled into the drive!

Red Bastien was wrestling there and someone out of the top nose bleed seat threw a coke and hit red in the head. He turned around and marched right up the stairs grabbed the guy by the feet and drug him back down the stairs and we watched this guys head hit every step going down. We were rolling on the floor in the back, i asked him why he did it and red said " i know i should not have done it but he made me so damn mad!"

I LOVE KKK!!
KILLER KARL KOX HE WAS A ROUGH AS THEY MADE THEM, EX MARINE WOULDN'T BACK DOWN FROM NO ONE.
One time this karate guy was following Karl all over Tulsa, Okla all over wearing this shirt that said kkk killer or something like that, any ways the guy stood up after Karl's match and this guy was a ranked fighter and challenged Karl that night and started talking to the News camera's, well all the fans were going home hear the guy and stayed to watch well Karl was walking back to the locker room when the challenge was made again this time not so nice Karl told him to hang on and let him clean up and he would be out there later. They tried to get the people out of the arena but they would not go they wanted to see this heal get his butt stomped by this hometown rank karate fighter! Karl came out with tape fists went up to the guy and asked are you the one who wants to fight me kid said yeah so Karl got into the ring and was warming up the karate guy started to climb into the ring and he didn't know how to come in right so Karl caught him in the jaw with his boot as he was climbing in to the ring and knocked him out of the ring on to the floor Karl went out scooped him back into the ring the guy started to get up and Karl hit him with 2 punchs knocked him out! There were TV camera all over the place from the News covering the wrestling that night. The boys in the back were on the floor rolling! Karl just climbed out of the ring didn't speak to no one as he walked back to the locker room and as he sat down to get dressed he looked up and said "i bet we have a sell out crowd next week!" What happen was all over the new papers and the TV. He was right they sold that arena out for a month straight!

Here's one for the record lol! Back in the 80's during the haydays of Mid South Dick Slater and Sting Were in Love with this beauty of a lady Dark Journey. They chased her every where she was at. Well Dick got tried of the competion so he caught Sting in the bathroom in the locker room in Oklahoma City one night and shoved his head in the toilet! Dick kept flushing the john telling him if he every went near Dark Journey again he would flush his whole body down the toilet and they would never see him again! Well Sting and Journey never hooked up and either did Slater after she heard what he did! LMAO! Slater is in jail now doing time for beating his girlfriend up, Dark Journey is a hair dresser in LA somewhere and Sting is Trying to go Hollywood and has saved his soul and given it to our lord. He still wrestles once in a while but he is a family man and devotes his life to them. Praise God!
