Dark Side Of The Ring: Junk Yard Dog.
Sylvester Rattery better known as Junkyard Dog was a professional footballer who joined Southwest wrestling under Bill Watts, even though he wasn't a wrestler he drew in the crowds and started using drugs. After leaving Bill Watts and joining WWF he never had the big star light he was fired and joined WCW which was owned by Bill Watts. After leaving WCW he joined the independent circuit while working at Walmart to his untimely death.
This was interesting to know that he never got much wrestling training yet other wrestlers were able to work around him and compliment his style as a brawler. Contributions from Koko B. Ware, Ted Dibiase, Tony Atlas, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Jim Cornett, Teddy Long, Jim Ross and Jarvis Woodburn Jr (JYD's nephew)
