    Fantastic. Used to watch Rufus on Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling back in the 1970's on Saturday.

      @Douglas Paterson never heard Jones’ “actual” voice but Tony Norris (Ahmed Johnson) actually talks rather clearly when he’s not runninga promo. Talks with a lisp, but understandable...

    Made sense to me, Rufus just has an absurdly thick accent.
    Apparently he tricked Ladd into a match for $2,000 and will knock his lights out for that $2,000. And Ladd is stupid while Rufus is a clever man who tricked him.
    At least that's the gist of it... pretty basic but it works.

    • @kingliambyrne
      @kingliambyrne  6 років тому

      Alyas Grey yeah, the gist is fine, but when the amount and the gimmick are unclear whilst you are trying to sell the match to people, it isn't great.

    • @mrtrin
      @mrtrin 4 роки тому

      Basically. Ladd thought he conned Jones into a fight for $1000, but Jones goophered him into it being where both of them put up $1000 in a lights out match
