Does anyone know when Monsoon's last tv appearance was prior to the Ali angle?

Monsoon was running the show in the back so he was busy at tv.
However Monsoon was the set up guy to beat on the way to a championship match in the 70s, so he should have booked himself a little more frequently.
Funny when he is wrestling Scicluna during the Ali skit, he chops Scicluna, Scicluna freezes for a second and throws himself over the top rope.

I hope Gino didn't lick off the frosting of the donuts or suck out the jelly filled donuts.
