    Can you verify any of it is definitely wrong?

    Sonny's not enough, you're after the son now :lol:

    a picture of Wingate online, maybe looks are deceiving, but... http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/yhKE...e+Induction+Ceremony/hWtdbJk3tdK/Bill+Wingate

    "gang leader" and "bouncer" are titles usually associated with people who do their fighting with lots of back up, not one on one. Before I'd believe this story I'd have to hear the story from Bert Cooper.

    lol. I can't help myself.. let's hope he is Sonnys son. It would be sad for him if he wasn't. There is resemblance after all.

    If he is or isn't It don't matter. Rocky Marciano also has a "son". I don't know if he has DNA proof either but he was adopted by Rocky and his wife.

    I know. Paul Gallender god bless him. He would have been so disappointed if Sonnys son turned out to be a florist.
