Hart placed a bounty on Rhodes. In Tampa, they actually took out a billboard on the highway where people commuting around town would see it, with Gary Hart offering $10,000 to anyone who could take out Rhodes.

That's SOOOO awesome. I wish wrestling could do stuff like that nowadays.

From the Wikipedia article about 40's and 50's heel Tojo Yamamoto:

Wrestling in Boaz, Alabama, Yamamoto gave one of the great performances in pro wrestling. Before the start of the matches, he asked to give a statement to the crowd, which booed and hissed and threw things. In broken English he said, "I wish make aporogy. Very sorry my country bomb Pear-uh Harbor." And the crowd quiets, as he wipes away tears, and they awwww in sympathy. "It wrong thing to do, I wish not happen." They begin to applaud. "Yes, I wish not happen, because instead I wish they BOMB BOAZ!!!" Needless to say, the arena erupted.

I wish could see tape of this.

Is that supposed to be a military history pun? Because if so, I completely approve.
