'The strong take from the weak, but it's the smart who take from the strong.'
-Johnny Weaver
I have been a fan of wrestling for nearly - if not - twenty years. I hadn't heard of Johnny Weaver before.
Until yesterday.
News reached the Pro Wrestling Torch that Weaver had died at the age of seventy-two.
Weaver was a big name during the territory days of professional wrestling. He was a star in the Carolinas and has the claim to being the first wrestler to use the sleeperhold as a finishing move in his matches.
He spent the last portion of his life working as a deputy sheriff in Macklenburg County, North Carolina.
