How many wrestling fans are here?

:bowdown:My dad, me, and my brother loved Ray Stevens! Say him wrestle at the SF Cow Palace a few times. He was a M/C rider as well. Used to see him up at the hill climes/jumps above Castro Valley in the mid-60s. I believe he coined the term "Pencil-Neck" when referring to his opponents. What a character! :thumbup:

Still love the Blood matches with Dick the Bruiser and Crusher. Bobby Heenan was one of the greatest announcers and heel.

Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzel were popular in the AWA too.

Ah the Hart boys....taught and managed by their dad, Stu Hart owner of Stampede Wrestling - a precursor to the WWF!

Rick Flair. One of the greats too.

 

[bigbadbrucie]

Yes, at one time. Remember Verne Gagne, ......

, the Japanese guy that was always throwing salt in the opponents eyes?????

When wrestling got to what it is today, I went away. :bowdown:

I guess that I have dated myself good here. :roflblack: :roflblack:

Was that Mister Moto...I kind of remember him, I think.

How about the NCAA championships??? I'm so, so glad that I never had to wrestle anyone of that caliber.

The last one I attended was starring Gorgeous George. Figure out how long ago that one was!

I believe that would have been in the ‘50’s.....I don’t remember him in the ‘60’s, but....memory fades...

How many wrestling fans are here? Anybody watched Antonino Rocca, Buddy Rogers and Bruno Sammartino?

Ah, the original 'reality tv' show. Haven't watched it since I found out it was scripted.

Yes, you are dating yourself here. 50's was the time. :bowdown:
