Bugsy was The Brute , a kick ass Bruiser Brody type when I first got into wrestling . Imagine my surprise hearing about this big Manchild , 3Stooges style guy in the MidAtlantic region only to recognize his as that fire breather from Louisiana’s territory !!! And it worked for him … The Boo Radley of wrestling . I didn’t care for it at all . On a personal level I had heard that he was genuinely eccentric as hell but also very intelligent . That can be pretty off putting . People don’t like to be around people that aren’t easily figured out . Its a trust issue .
Matt Borne was not a happy man . I think it could have been being Tough Tony Borne’s kid . Probably having to fight people because of what dad did on TV this week . Maybe Tony was really tough on his family ?? I dunno but something was seriously eating that guy alive . The substances he medicated with only made him worse .
Gerry Briscoe said Bugsy was the funniest person he's ever been in a locker room with.

I heard bugsy became a NURSE !
Bugsy went back to school and became a nurse after retiring from wrestling.
Ted won his first North American title from the Brute in a TV match.
Ted. Jeez. Cool
Arn Anderson told a story of him waking up and borne was sitting on top of him. Ugh.
