    Flair said the NWA would send Slater and Race with him as the policemen on Japanese tours to make sure no one doublecrossed him and for protection.

    The key here is EX- wife. Sentimental feelings aside, you can't expect her to go around with a chastity belt. That being said you would think it might or should have come up in conversation with both men being wrestlers. That is on her.

    Being tough isnt so much only physical, its a mindset similar to being and feeling sexy. Hard, tough, gritty mindsets matter most in toughness because if that is missing then the body does not matter. DS was an old school tough SB.

      Well, unless a lot of people are lying about it, Slater beat up John Matuszak, and he certainly wasn't someone that wouldn't or couldn't fight back. Not saying Slater wasn't a bully, or that he didn't abusive women he had relations with, but he had no problem throwing hands with capable tough opponents if that's what it came to. Slater was a legit tough guy, regardless of if he was a jerk or not.
