He was usually a heel, playing the part of a blustering coward.
I recall he was in a tag team with Johnny Grey, and John would leave the ring and go help with the commentary while Grey was left to fend for himself. He can take it. He like it". I also saw him turn face for awhile.
He could really turn the charisma on. His home was never announced, and the commentators would always make a big deal out of where Big John might be from. The day he made the face turn, he announced "I'm from right cheer". Well, it sounded like he said "cheer". And the audience was in the palm of his hand. I've heard he's passed away.

John really made you believe that he hated his opponents and that carnage was expected. I believe he died around Hammond Engler Member Member Geoff from Melbourne Member Member Fantastic on the mic and got over big time as a manager.
