Story involves a HW known as "The Great Finisher" who can't find opponents and is working as a sideshow act. The Finisher's last name isn't given so I improvised based on his occupation as a truckdriver. His tomato can opponent proved to be impervious to a blow from a mallet delivered from the other side of a curtain, but is an otherwise ineffectual fighter.
