There's no way to know if these accounts are true. I doubt this one.


He's been telling that story for yrs....I believe it..he says that if he didn't sucker punch the non-made guy, he would have lost face & became (more) un-believable,,never had any identity problems after that ,except ,now Tony Mirra took notice.
