In 1966 while I was in the BC Canada area, wrestling about twice a week I worked as a bouncer in clubs on the weekends to make extra money. I met this young man that would become first known as half of the Hollywood Blondes and later became known as one of the Freebirds. I quickly became friends with Buddy Roberts. At the time he wasn't a wrestler, but was a 18 yr. old guy that wanted to wrestle.
With no ring to train properly, I trained Buddy by talking to him and visualizing matches in the car or wherever we were. One day, while we were in Vancouver Stanley Park walking among the trees discussing wrestling and demonstrating holds, I asked Buddy to give me an inverted backbreaker (thinking no one was around to see) - all of a sudden; this man comes out of the trees, he was a big baldheaded man with a handlebar mustache. This startled Buddy so much that when he brought me back down to my feet, it split the seat of my pants out.
The man just stared and said "its OK, its OK!" I'm Matt Burns, a professional wrestler". Buddy and I burst out laughing because what a coincidence, that a wrestler that we never met (before or after that incident) would come along at that time with that name.!! I still often wonder if he really was a professional wrestler.
Buddy and I still laugh about it today!
