As a kid my 7-15 year old friends living in West Allis, Wi (suburb of Milwaukee) couldn’t wait for Saturday nites in the summertime so we could all work our antennas trying to get in White Sox and Harry Caray followed by Luce wrestling. Whoever got it in the best with the least amount of snow played host to the rest of us. Best days of my life

Something about wrestling back in the day how it was presented makes it come off like an actual sport.
Love this old stuff thanks for putting it on UA-cam
Thank you! It was a great time in wrestling!
Boy do I remember these great people. Was all the wrestling events in Indy. Row 3 seats 1 & 2.
If you have any photos from them I'd love to see them!
Love this look back at a great ( and often overlooked ) promotion . Subscribed! Hope we get to see the “ New York Dolls” Tag Team of the early 80’s soon. Thanks
Every Saturday 3:30 afternoons every kid I hung out with ran home to watch our favorite wrestlers . Mine being The Blackjacks and Pretty Boy Bobby . ❤ Great wrestling program here .
Was that on WTTV channel 4? I remember always getting mad cause the last and best match always "ran outta TV time". Lol. Great memories
@@CheckmateFixit No here in Decatur we picked it up on channel 3 Champaign Illinois . And we did not get to see most of the main events . But at that time we were getting the guys from AWA and WWA coming at the same time for live matches . Saw many many greats back then . The glory days .
Wonderful memories..so many names I remember..Sailor Art Thomas..!
First live match I EVER saw was in Milwaukee Auditorium (madness) Sailor Art vs Snyder in scientific match. A draw of course
Now we know where The Genius came from
Yes from Angelo
That pink neck tie. And he rocks it.
wow the baron the crippler and blackjack against the sailor the crush and the bruiser. miss the old stuff.
6 of the most toughest men in wrestling history. I wish i could get in the ring with any of them.
Baron is the only one left😢
The memories
Vaseri later to be known as the Iron Sheik
Khasrow was the opening act at at the amphitheater!
I wonder if these matches were held at the old Tyndall Armory.
It looks like. Some from Tyndall were shot from the top seating area looking down on the ring but that may of been when they had different a TV station. If not there it would be the Convention Center but the crowd would be bigger I think.
Pretty sure that “Killer” Cortez was known as “Hercules” Cortez in AWA. If so this is the man I saw destroy 3 fans that tried to attack him as he made his way to ring in Milwaukee match in 70 or 71’ before he was killed in car crash driving with Red Bastien to Minneapolis from Winnipeg. I’ll never forget him fighting off a half dozen cops before they finally overwhelmed him and dragged him to jail
I'm not sure if they were the same or not. This is what I found on Killer Cortez... Ricky Cortez
a.k.a. Crusher Cortez
a.k.a. Killer Cortez
@@diamonddanpwi look up Hercules when you get time, look at the images. Maaaan it’s tough but I think it’s the same guy if video is pre 72’
@@MrChristopherHaas Here's what his wikipedia lists...
Ring name(s)
Hercules Cortes
Hercules Cortez
Pepe Chicharo
Pepe Cortez
Claude Dassaray
It's possible he went by that too and wasn't listed
@@diamonddanpwi ironically, when the virus hit I had been to Milwaukee library twice trying to look up what I remember to be a large article about what happened in Milwaukee that night. When virus is over (🙄) I’m going back in with a better idea of date, thank you. If I ever find it I’ll get it to you.
How could Von Raschke weigh only 15 lbs. less than Blackjack Mulligan?
what ever happened to mark manson? did he ever wrestle under a different name/territory?
Man oh man Angelo looks a lot like Randy here, just a bit chubbier.
Is that Mark "Voodoo Cane" Manson?
Yes
Hmm I wonder where the Genius gimmick came from Lanny??!!
Yep...his father
Sam manecker
Looks like leaping Lanny paffo took brilliant mark Manson gimik . Changed the name to the genius
Yes Mark managed Lanny's dad Angelo Poffo and Kenny Dillinger as The Graduates
@@diamonddanpwi thanks for the info . Old school wrestling puts today's wrestling to shame .imo
I already said that.
Cortez what a hot wrestler
thicc AF out dare
