    Dale Pierce wrote: Sweet Daddy Watts was also managed for a time down south by the legenadary Saul Weigneroff, who was lucky he didn’t get Watts killed. For example, one promo had this manager announcing Watts was going to marry a rich white woman and buy My Old Kentucky Home tourist landmark, close it down to the public, and live in it.
