I guess it did take off fast for him....since he jumped on the shoulders of the guys from Branson Missouri that had it going way before he ever thought about the concept....and to add insult to injury he stole the top guys ..one example (Wolverine) ...from the original slap fight guys... It makes me sick that he totally ripped them guy's off and kicks back and acts like it was his big idea....He just had more recognition and money to promote it...the other poor bastards just couldn't compete with him...
