Never liked him back in the day when I followed wrestling, I was a Crusher guy. Played in a celebrity golf tourney, with Jumpin Jim Brunzel in our group. Bockwinkel was the MC at the awards presentation dinner and he presented me with a new golf bag. He was just one of the guys at the dinner. You get a different perspective when you see a guy behind the scenes. RIP NIck!
