      Paige Sutherland---I remember as a kid going to see him wrestle with his tag team partner Karl Von Shotz. I think there was a bout when he had Bobo Brazil as his partner.

      That profession is not an easy life for anyone, especially for the families.Not to mention the Travel, injuries and being separated from each other. Your Dad belonged to a special group of people ,that few could have.God bless your Dad and your family.

    The finish with Bobo & The Giant was great. The little kids must have been upset when they started fighting. Great stuff!

    I really enjoyed see Bobo Brazil who although wasn't exactly in his prime, was still a lot better than when I saw him previously in Indianapolis Wrestling in the mid 80's

    The Sheik was my favorite heel of all time. Saw him 2/14/75 in Indianapolis in a cage match against Dick The Bruiser. It seemed like it went on for 90 minutes. Both men were at the top of the cage. The Sheik was trying to get leverage, and just as he threw "The Fire," Bruiser shoved The Sheik's hands back into his face. Bruiser jumped out and won. I thought Market Square Arena was going to explode.

  • @mikemotta9754
    @mikemotta9754 4 роки тому +4

    that 2 ring battle royal had so much potential to be really great. Instead it ended up being terrible, there were never any battles in the 2nd ring, just the Brute throwing everyone out of the ring. You could see the finish a mile away, horrible.

    as a general rule if a cameraman is taking a close up of a head of a man tied up in the ropes or whatever (Brute) and opponent is winding up for a big bop to the head make sure that we the viewer actually see at least part of his fist in the shot that is being reported as being hit 🧐…😂

  • @Jack21Spades
    @Jack21Spades 5 років тому +2

    See THAT'S why I didn't finish my journey into wrestling. That was a garbage title change, a garbage title win, and a garbage wrestler who won. If someone like The Sheik pulled his "foreign object/fireball" bullshit on ME...smmfh... Federal laws on THREE PLANETS suggest that I don't divulge what I would DO to him.

    • @robmiller931
      @robmiller931 4 роки тому +2

      Thats probably the biggest reason this territory failed since Shiek always had to put himself over instead of what was best for business
