I did not know Dick Woehrle but he was the greatest ref in the old WWWF. I met him very briefly once in Wildwood NJ at a match. He was very polite, personable and gladly signed autographs.

I remember getting your autograph in Wildwood NJ back in the 1970s. You were happy to take the time to chat and sign the autograph. You were great in the ring too. God bless.

I am a big time wrestling fan and I had the pleasure to meet Mr Woehrle on two occasions. He was very nice to myself and my friends when we were kids and later as adults. Great memories of a long-ago era.
