    I remember him being called something else besides "Big" in the 70's but I may be mistaken.

    goergeous George would be a bridge too far, but would be a curious ali link.

    Speaking of which, George of the Jungle probably wouldn't have gone down well in Zaire.

    I believe he started off as 'The Fighting Corpsman' Being that he got his start in the job corps. He gave his robe to LBJ with that on it. He fought into the early 70's with that on his robe.
