Gene booked many of our acts on the Castle show. Quite a colorful character. One night, he got our bounding rope guy drunk before the show, and the poor actor bounded to the deck three times before quitting and staggering out of the ring, to wild acclaim by the audience, who thought it was comedy. Gene took no end of ribbing, led by Slick Valentine, for the rest of the season.
