HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! *I had coffee coming out of my nose when he went into the explanation/Cosell bit!* (LOL!)
Hey, I dig this guy even more now! Thanks for answering the question guys! LOL...
In all seriousness, this was a truly great interview, and one that I found a bit inspirational. Obviously - Mr.Jones is a very gifted individual. This is a no-brainer. And even though I'm an Irish-Italian with a Slovokian last name (I told Angelo Dundee once that this helped get me free parking in some counties, and he loved it!) I can oddly enough relate to some of what Mr.Jones said. Kudos on a couple of superb back-to-back interviews with Wilson and Jones, Gary.
* Sidenote - Regretfully...I DO know what it's like to be "discombobulated" in the ring! (It was an almost permanent state!) I was always stepping in so many postholes - they finally just handed me a shovel and told me to go out back!
