BEST TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS WITH SPECIAL REFEREE SAM MENACKER: Baron Von Raschke & Ernie Ladd (with Bobby Heenan) vs Dick the Bruiser & Bruno Sammartino - Спорт
Bobby Heenan, greatest foil for any babyface! ❤❤
The bouts were taped in August of 1973 at the Convention Center in Indianapolis.
I remember watching this when I was a teenager.
Excellent! Especially, Bruiser & Bruno against Baron & Ernie Ladd. A classic!!
Last main event I ever saw was Ernie Ladd vs Paul Orndorff in the Superdome c. '80, '81...in a cage.
pure gold. thank you, dave.
They used these matches on Bob Luce's wrestling show in Chicago in the 1970's. They had Luce and the boys do live studio segments and run clips from this show
Von Raschke is the last one left of the main event
41:50 what a fall from the Baron. great selling
Back when America could laugh at itself.
Agree, W.T.F. happened?
@@williambaxter4628 I'll get to political, ideological if I get started! Basically, grievances (race, gender, class, then more) became a political strategy. When certain groups are encouraged and even urged to be angry for generations, no happiness and humor is allowed to those non-aggrieved (who are usually tagged with being responsible for the other's misery, inequity and unhappiness).
Ladd and bruiser had some great blood baths in the day!
If I'm not mistaken, back in 1952 Sam Menacker was one of Gorgeous George's special "political consultants" during George's publicity stunt presidential candidacy. One of his assistants was a young Joe Scarpa, nearly 20 years before he began performing as Chief Jay Strongbow.
Bobby van's wrestling knowledge didnt seem to go beyond sucker punching
The fans got their three dollar tickets worth
Hey....Kim Duk is Tiger Chung Lee!!!
Dis Sammartino ever throw a left punch? Because it seems he can only through a right..
where are the steroids, pyrotechnics and silicone girls in the Cowboy Ellis / Sam interview?
Great Great match!!!
Never saw Ladd live..but man, could he sell. Of course Heenan was the king of selling. Dick the Bruiser.....not so much.
Who is the Wrestler accompanying Bobby Heenan in the interview?
Hey, NOSTAGIC…THANKS FOR the AWESOME POSTS! Do you have any footage of a wrestler named Hercules Cortez? My memory of Hercules involves my first Auditorium in Milwaukee experience where Cortez was attacked by fans as he came out, he kicked the fans butts, then he disappeared from wrestling. My vauge memory of him involves a guy much like Hercules in 1980s wwf, big, muscular, strong
The wrestler I remember as Hercules Cortez died in 1971 in a MVA, he and Red Bastien and Pepper Gomez were returning to Minneapolis from a wrestling card in Winnipeg Manitoba.Bastien and Gomez survived I was 11 at the time living in Winnipeg.
@@kevin-um9ys yes that’s the guy. I dug in and found out. Too bad, the man was going places. The accident occurred shortly after the Milwaukee incident. THANKS

@@kevin-um9ys THATS HIM! THANK YOU! Heckuva memory seeing him taking on fans and wiping them out. That had me believing this stuff was REAL for many years….until I met The Crusher and my family had dinner with him lol
Bobby Van. I remember him...
RUFUS T. FIREFLY add drum...🥁HERE
Wow
.odd to see Bruno working for the bruiser
초창기 김덕선수모습이 나오는군요
김덕선수가 영어를 잘해서 한국출신이라 말합니다
Aruba Luis Martinez? LOL. ARRIBA!
@RUFUS T. FIREFLY He never wrestled in the WWWF, but a TV station in the Boston area carried Detroit wrestling for a while in the early '70s and that's where I saw Martinez.
@RUFUS T. FIREFLY Cool! I remember Arakawa as half of the tag champs out this way in the late '60s with Toru Tanaka. I got interested in wrestling in the mid-'60s and went to shows at the Boston Garden and other arenas through the early '90s. Many of your great Northern California stars appeared on those cards: Ray Stevens, Pat Patterson, etc., etc.
@RUFUS T. FIREFLY Stevens was past his prime when he got his run in the WWWF. I remember reading about him and Patterson all the time in the magazines about a decade earlier. Patterson came east earlier and was an excellent performer. We never got to see Shibuya or Gomez.
@@MrHmg55You're referring to Ray Stevens' 1982-83 run when he helped turn Snuka babyface. He had an earlier run in late 1972-early '73 when he got title shots at Pedro Morales.
This WWA means World Wrestling Association(Los Angeles)?
This is the promotion that branches off of it started by Dick the Bruiser and Wilbur Snyder in Indianapolis
Bruno worked in Madison Square Garden again Ladd and Baron when he was WWWF world champion..
cowboy parker looks like a guy that called himself the Polish prince. Ed something.
Wisowski
@@RasslinRelics It was meant to be humor. I watched him in Mid-South.
Disaster narrowly averted @ 13:15
