Security was nothing like it is these days, the cops were all always focused on guarding the ring area and so the fans could just walk around and mingle with the guys. George "Two Ton" Harris would often stand there against the wall and watch the matches after his match. I used to stand close by and I’d try to talk to him but he was one I never could get to know or talk to. He always kept everything in character, even in his later years.
I used to laugh to myself when some random kid would walk up to Two Ton with a pen and autograph book extended out towards him - - it was the same thing every single time without fail - - the kid sticks the book out for him to sign, Two Ton gives the kid a long cold stare right in the face and then loudly says one word - - - “NAW” (which was his pronunciation for “NO!”)
It was something very simple, but I always found it comical and loved the expressions on the kids faces when it would happen.
