He was World Champion a number of times and his gimmick would be to wrestle the local favorite for almost a full hour and get the stuffings beat out of him most of that time(they had one hour time limits for the main events in the NWA), then in the last couple of minutes pull off some underhanded move to win the match (or have time run out just seconds before the good guy finally pinned him). Naturally, that got everyone frustrated thinking their hero had been robbed.
