I used to go to Sunnyside Gardens to watch the wrestling matches. George was the crowd favorite. He always acted like he was 2 cards short of a full deck.

The same fights were at the Long Island arena.

In the mid-80s the WWF had low budget shows in neighborhood school auditoriums in Brooklyn. As a young prick I remember attending shows in Crown Heights that featured The Brooklyn Brawler, Hill Billy Jim, The Haiti Kid, Lloyd Littlebrook, Mr. X and of all people, Moondog Spot. At the time, I thought I was witnessing the greatest shit I may ever witness. Admission was $1 to $2. How times fly.

Wow, you guys must be up there if you remember all those ol' timers.

Wiki says Pedro Morales lives in "Central New Jersey" !!

Here's another fave of mine: Chief Jay Strongbow ("Joltin'" Joe Scarpa) - when being Indian didn't get people upset and all politically correctifying.

great photos thx.

any bruno s pix??

 

[moodswingingman]

Bruno Sammartino. I always looked forward to seeing him on the old Channel 47 show, Luche Libre, when Vince McMahon and Antonio Rocca (who died at only 55 in 1977) were the commentators. The Argentinian Rocca would say he's "taking his shoes off" for a good match-up. Sure, it was fake, but it sure seemed real to me.
