"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan took part in an exclusive interview with PWTorch.com.
In the interview, Duggan was promoting his new autobiography which was
released this month. He explains how an arrest in 1987 was what haulted
his rise to the main event level.
Duggan was traveling with The Iron Sheik and they were pulled over for a
routine traffic stop. Duggan admitted to the officer they had marijuana
but was unaware The Iron Sheik had cocaine in his possession.
"I don't
think I ever regained the momentum I would have had before the arrest
with the Iron Sheik," he said. "I think I was on the fast track [before
the arrest]. I think I would have been World Champion, Intercontinental,
or Tag Team Champion. I never regained the momentum. I think a lot of
guys it would have totally crushed their career, but I was lucky enough
to survive it and actually thrive after the arrest."
