  • Here is an infamous match from Pedro Martinez's Buffalo territory. Buffalo legend Ilio DiPaolo takes on one of the most famous wrestlers of all time, Gorgeous George. The rumor is that the match is very short because George showed up drunk and Martinez told DiPaolo to end the match right away.

    A friend of mine in third grade brought in for show and tell, her grandfather Illio Dipaolo! I still have his autographed pictured. It was a pretty cool moment.

    According to Lou Albano, Gorgeous George made a fortune. He was the original and deserves every dollar he made.

      And died broke. Checked out his story years ago. From the highest heights to rock bottom at the end. Sad.

    Gorgeous George, shown here, wasted too much time on getting things rolling, then gets spun and pinned in 17 seconds. The first 5+ minutes of this video clip was, in my opinion, a total waste of time. George knew that he was going to get beat, apparently. What really infuriated me, was the way that he couldn't (or wouldn't!), take the blame for his loss, but that he actually turned on his own Valet, and not only blamed her, but actually tried to physically attack her! She did nothing to him to deserve that! Had I been his Valet, I'd of whooped him, right then and there! That is NO WAY to treat a Lady! Now I truly see why he was so hated and reviled!
