    Johnson and Atlas (known as the 'Soul Patrol', named after the Raiders (football) secondary in the 70's = Jack “The Assassin” Tatum, strong safety George “The Hitman” Atkinson, cornerback Willie Brown and cornerback “Dr. Death” Skip Thomas) won the tag belts in late 83' and lost them in April of 84', NOT 83' as Atlas says and Rocky stayed on until mid 85'. I know this as I am a fan and lived in the same town and went to the same gym as Rocky.

    Vince just don't give many opportunities like he should, Ioved rocky johnson, I really loved how swift he was, so as a kid I would go outside and do the same type of moves like rocky johnson, so that's why I was so swift and fast because, God blessed me with raw talent coming up and it stayed with me years and years after, he's why I became as good as I was. I copied everything this man did, everyone don't born with that type of raw talent, but I think God I did and rocky johnson brought out mine because it was already there, so I was a great athlete all through school and playing football field and track, I also wrestled in school and rocky johnson moves always stuck with me, so this the first time I ever talked about this, but my favorite all time wrestler, when I was growing up as a kid was steve keirn, I was steve keirn crazy, I really want to get a chance to meet steve one day, my wife have family in Tampa FL, so I may strole around over to his wrestling training site to meet him one day!!!--
