I could have sworn we used to have one of these but it must have been another board. Anyway, this is a thread to share any memories of the old school wrestlers.
I was going through some of my old stuff and came across a wrestling program from when a wrestling promotion came to my hometown back in the 80s and it really jogged some memories. I pretty much watched up to the late 90's when I kind of grew out of it.
I had autographs from all sorts of wrestlers on that program but didn't recognize many. The ones I still remember were The Missing Link and Rick McCord. Link had himself a pretty big career but McCord was nothing more than a Ric Flair knockoff that kind of bounced around the Midwest promotions. I still remember reading that program and that was the first I had heard about King Kong Bruiser Brody being killed in Mexico.

do you remember bob Backlund running the stairs for the Endurance world record?Those were the glory day of Wrestling. I, too, seemed to outgrow it in the '90s, but before that, I was a rabid fan. I remember when the Link was Dewey Robertson was a face in Canada, when I was really young.
The best feud ever was Flair and Ricky Steamboat. They were both early in their careers and that feud was vicious! That was my intro to Wrestling - watching Flair grind Steamboat's face into the mat for about 15 minutes in a sneak attack on one of the TV shows.
Actually, that wasn't my first forray into Wrestling. My grandfather and I used to watch every week when I was a kid, during the Bruno Sammartino, Dominic Denuci days in the early 70's
no you do!!!YOU are one of my faves...you rock!

I was second row at the Garden, on my chair clapping for The Hammer Greg Valentine when he was the typical heal and teh gallery gods (people up in the nose bleeds) started tossing stuff down on the group of us. so cool because teh wrastlers walked right by us. God those were the days!!Oh, man!! Barely but I do remember something like that? I'll have to look it up.
I remember when Wrestling made it's return to Buffalo in the 80's. The headline match was Steamboat and Jay Youngblood vs Flair and Sweet Ebony Diamond. My uncle played golf with the GM of the old Aud, where the Sabres and Braves played and would get me ringside tickets for every match.
