I was born, raised, and still live in Minnesota and when I was a kid in the 80s, my favorite AWA wrestler was Buck Zumhoffe. Eventually, I became a referee on the Indy circuit and met Buck a few times. Then I found out what he was into and if you don’t know, let’s just say that he probably got along really well with Bob Sweetan and Grizzly Smith.

Paul Boesch wouldn’t book him in Houston because he was such a morally repugnant individual who had a bad reputation. In an industry with lots of shady characters, you have to be pretty bad to stand out even more than usual.

Joe Blanchard was the same way, Grizzly Smith, Sweetan and Zumhof were untouchable, the difference between Leroy and The Gagne's though is that Vern and Greg knew what was going on with Zumhof and his daughter and did nothing.

I remember years ago watching one of those Legends of Wrestling roundtables on WWE 24/7 and J.R. made a quick comment about Bob Sweetan being a miserable human being. I never knew the details behind that comment until watching this clip.

"When you get to wrapped up in problems you cannot solve, or affect, you're making a massive mistake in your life" Words of wisdom from the Black Hat. Have a Nice Day.

I don't think Jim Ross likes Bob Sweetan but i could be wrong....

Sweetan for a long time in Mid-South was the brass knuckles champion. You could tell he was real stiff with the lesser talent in the ring and would bust them up pretty bad. Danny Hodge had enough of him at one time and beat the snot out of him in the locker room, enough to send him back up north.

This is sickening to hear.

Ross very smart guy , but seemed like he compromised his integrity . Seems like he realized that , but easy to judge when you ain’t there

What a sack of sh that guy was. Huh? It makes for a disgusting human being where the man’s wife wasn’t bad enough. He HAD TO vocalize about wanting to make his 10 year old daughter “purr”. How did he not get caught with someone else’s daughter in those southern territories and shot?

According to Wikipedia Sweetan was convicted of sexually assaulting his daughter. He was deported back to Canada, where he died in a nursing home in 2017.

Wow, damn it... JR is the man..

The more I hear about back then, the more I appreciate the current culture of pro wrestling (in the business I mean) because you could count the nice guys in pro wrestling from back then on 2, maybe 3, hands if you are lucky.

As much of a fan I am of the old-school style of the business I am glad that wrestling of today doesn't deal with the scum and dregs of society like in years past. There's a lot to be desired for me as a fan with today's pro wrestling approach, but I'm glad that the sport is cleaner drug and alcohol wise and physical and s&#%al abuse gets punished.

This guy is the opposite of Backlund whom everyone speaks so highly of...The opposite Bobs ,next season on Dark Side lol they should actually do that.

When JR calls you anything near even not nice you’re the worst kind of person

He was a damn thief too in the locker room. Him breathing was a Waste of oxygen

The guy has cold as ice eyes.....

Just how Hollywood does business.

Are you at liberty to say who else besides Sweetan were gotten rid of with the Watts purge? The whole saga is a GD shame because when I first read about him in the Apter mags, he looked legit. But after hearing about all of what changed my mind about him--and damned quickly at that--I then understood why *every* extant photo of him has a completely emotionless stare. Now whenever I hear of YT videos of an actual *face* run of his, I am all the more sickened. n I recuse myself from further commentary particularly about BS pursuant to my personal belief in not speaking ill of the dead,
