I think I could.
Commit murder, but do no wrong.
First man.
First man, yeah.
I was selling posters when I was 10 years old, 1973.
What does that make you, like 78?
What is that?
So I'm two years older than you.
And how I got the steady gig was we were given four posters to go sell in the crowd, and we got 25 cents per poster that we sold.
I went out and sold my four posters, came back, got more, went out and sold more, came back, got more, and said take them four.
I took eight, then took like big handfuls, and I made $12 that night.
The other kids, if they even sold one, I don't think anybody sold more than one.
But I went everywhere and sold the stuff.
So then next week they said, why don't we put you in the ring?
And then people will know where to come.
You're in the middle of the ring during intermission before the show.
They come down and get posters.
And that's when I learned a very important business lesson in the wrestling business was when I went to the ring, opportunity for people to see you, you get plugs and people come down and get posters because they know what you have.
You sell more.
So now that you're selling more, they cut my commission down to a dime.
