That's a great explanation. However, I wonder if Iowa was turned off because of his underage drinking with his football buddies and his presence at "drug parties" with Johnny Dakota. I know TMZ wasn't around back then, but it's food for thought.

I still say Johnny Dakota is Shane from Walking Dead, I don't care what anyone says.

Definitely possible. Word gets around, and Iowa wrestling has a reputation to uphold. So maybe they heard about him quitting wrestling before so that he could cook some cherries jubilee. Or that he lied to a federal officer and basically told West Point to frick off. Or the alcohol and weed parties like you mentioned. Or that he basically stole his high school principal's car and loaned it to some a-hole New York crook for blackmail (which is also illegal) purposes. Or maybe that he lied to all of his friends about having a fatal disease and moving to Hawaii. Or that he mooned the school crossing guard on his first day at a new school (which may or may not be a felony). Or that he sucks dick as a radio deejay.

There are any number of reasons for Iowa to pull the schooly offer to an a-hole like Albert Clifford Slater. Ole Martin and (I believe) Loretta did a horrible job as parents.

Also, SBTB knowledge is one thing that I'd put up against anyone in the world. I'd put my knowledge of the show up against Peter Engel in a trivia contest and bet money on it. Sure, it's ultimately useless, but it's one of my legit useless talents.
