When he got the Boxing Ring crew together, they actually rotated the turn-buckles the wrong way,
loosening the Ropes.

Angelo had to get a 'pipe-wrench' with a 3 Foot Extension Bar to re-tighten them back to the
original tightness.

He wanted them tighter, but there was no more thread left on the adjusting bolt.


And, Dick Saddler was there with him the whole time.

There you go guys, the keys to victory:

Being sleepy.
Not knowing how to tighten bolts.
