(I remember Tony Zane used to be a jobber on the Saturday afternoon NWA wrestling show on TBS SuperStation... and I remember him because he was involved in the Midnight Express/Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA feud! Rhodes and Magnum were wrestling in masks as the Midnight Riders, and Cornette was hot to unmask them. The Riders were in a match during the show and the Express ran out from the lockers and beat them down, unmasking the 'larger' of the Riders and finding... Tony Zane! Which is when the real Rhodes and Magnum ran out from behind the curtains to beat up the Express! I loved that period of wrestling...)
