Many other writersoften simply continue with the old myths, not Mike. Bertsoon achieved a reputation for his almost sadistic attitude and hisinflexibility to accept the recognised “pre- determined” or working , set ofmatches, which meant promoters were reluctant to slot him in their schedules,also many professional wrestlers began to become reluctant to fight him awareof the dangers of the “fight” turning into a shooting match, one particularmatch included a genuine shooting match with one of the USAs toughest wrestlersRay Steele with Steele coming out the winner, meeting twice more for a draw andthen a win for Assirati.
