Sputnik Monroe (1928-2006).“I remember one time Sputnik was wrassling in Louisville,” says Johnny Dark, now a Memphis sportscaster but then the president and founder of the Sputnik Monroe Fan Club. “In the dressing room, this little black lady came up to Sputnik, she had tears in her eyes, she says, ‘You don’t remember me, you never met me, but I used to live in Memphis when they made us sit upstairs in those buzzard seats.’ She said, ‘You’re the one who got them to change that.’ That was the first time I saw Sputnik with tears in his eyes." It Came From Memphis, Robert Gordon -- source link
