Gorilla Monsoon
In his autobiography, "The Cowboy and the Cross: The Bill Watts Story: Rebellion, Wrestling and Redemption", Bill Watts told of witnessing a backstage incident between Sammartino and Gorilla Monsoon. Watts wrote that Monsoon "soon found himself in deep water" when messing with Sammartino, and he did not go into further detail on the incident out of respect for Monsoon.
