'Handsome' Johnny Davis & Denny Alberts ...McKigney would book a lot of the wrestlers himself or through Lou Klein or The Sheik, and the proximity to Toronto made for an ideal working relationship. The fact that he was a good payoff man didn’t hurt either. As Davis tells me, “Great guy, paid good, made one of my biggest mistakes not going to work for him full time when he asked me, I was fed up and wanted out, if I had gone with him I may have lasted a few years longer and had some fun.”
McKigney also had somewhat of a working relationship with Tunney at this time and the highlight for some of the wrestlers were stops at the famed Maple leaf Gardens. “I loved going to MLG” said Davis, “wish I could have worked there more, big building, clean, great crowds, big ring and I loved the ramp”. And what about Frank Tunney? “Nice guy, used to pick up his Export A butts for him at the border” adds Davis."Johnny Davis on working for Dave McKigney
