RIP to Soul Man Rocky Johnson. I remember how excited I was as a mark kid when he and Tony Atlas defeated Afa and Sika for the tag belts.

I remember first seeing him when the early Chicago cable market was able to pick up WWOR out of Seacaucus, NJ. That is when I finally saw WWF on tv. It was a much different company back then pre Wrestlemania era.

Here is a match where he picks up a win against another gone legend.
