What's this?

I saw Abdullah the Butcher and Ken Patera

in Roanoke in the mid-70's when it was still the NWA (before WCW). Ken Patera was billed as the world's strongest man. Bloodiest match I've ever seen, both of them laid out in the ring afterwards.

About an hour after the show was over, we were cruising around Roanoke and saw a white Lincoln with a moonroof pass us as a beer can came zipping out the moonroof. We pulled up beside them at a stoplight and you guessed it...Ken Patera and Abdullah the Butcher riding around swilling beers and chucking the cans out the windows together. Lol.
