Jim Ross recalls the incident
While speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross recounted a shocking incident from the mid-1970s involving former NWA member and wrestling promoter, Leroy McGuirk. According to Ross, McGuirk made it clear he wanted to murder Ted DiBiase for dating his daughter.
As they drove from Oklahoma to Shreveport for a Mid-South Wrestling TV taping, Ross noticed that McGuirk was carrying a large handgun in his leather satchel. He asked McGuirk about the gun and was shocked by the response he got. McGuirk told Ross that he was going to kill DiBiase in Shreveport.
It is noted that Jim Ross couldn’t believe McGuirk’s plan and immediately called “Cowboy” Bill Watts, who served as the matchmaker for McGuirk’s NWA Tri-State territory. Ross noted that McGuirk intended to take DiBiase to the Alamo Plaza Hotel, check him in, and leave his door slightly open. McGuirk would then wait outside the room and shoot DiBiase when he entered.
