    Jim Wilson and Thunderbolt Patterson were on the old Morton Downey Jr. Show in the 80's. They were both talking about racial discrimination and corruption in the wrestling business. Dr. D David Schultz was on with him and told Wilson he was a loser who never won a match and Told Patterson it wasn't his skin color that prevented him from getting booked, but the fact that he sucked in the ring and was boring.
