If your a old school wrestling fan you know about the reputation of Dr. D David Shultz. He is one of the toughest and most feared pro wrestlers alive. Nearly 22 years ago on ABC's 20/20, Dr. D David Shultz slapped, news reporter John Stossel twice in the face. Dr. D would get fired for that incident only a few weeks later from Vince. Basically, if you have not seen the footage, John Stossel told Dr D that he thought the business was fake. Back in the 80's protecting wrestling was a huge among the wrestlers. The puff peice that Stossel was working on that night was exposing the business.

For the last 22 years Dr. D would never do a interview about that day until now with only RF VIDEO. You will hear everything leading up to that incident and what really happened backstage after the slap heard around the world. There are so many details of what happened to him after he got to the hotel that night. Why was he sent to Japan? What did other wrestlers say to him after he did this? Did he get sued?

Dr. D was one of the first three men ever to come into the WWF when Vince started to take over all of the territories with Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. Straight from one of the hottest fueds in the AWA with Hulk Hogan, David Shultz was one of the biggest heels in the WWF in the early 80's. He has worked all over the world for Portland, Memphis, Florida's Southeastern, Stu Hart's Calgary Stampede, and New Japan Pro wrestling.

He is also ranked the world's #1 bounty hunter and most dangerous individual alive. He has brought in over 1700 criminals and had many gun battles that he talks about during this shoot interview.
