Sorry i dont watch wrestling anymore, but i remember watching some of tholse old folks.
Back before the NWO thingy and watching Hogan and Macho man along with Ric Flair.
There was one kid, that went to a nearby school (sprayberry) that got into this, his name was Bagwell.
I think he goes by something else now, probably sugar britches.
And dont forget the idol Andre the Giant too! Back when wrestling was wrestling.

Yes, a man who really is a LEGEND. Not a great build, but knew how to work a crowd and bring out the best in everyone, plus a caring man and father. RIP Dream :(

Love the wrestlers of the 70s!! 8 time World Champion "Handsome" Harley Race was a neighbor of mine in Kansas City. I was terrified of him as a 10 year old....and still am!!!!

"Handsome" Harley Race and his tag-team partner Larry "Pretty Boy" Henning. I watched them in the 60's--saw Dusty Rhodes too, although then he was tagged with another guy as the Texas Marauders or something. Mid to late 60's on Ch. 11, emceed by Marty O'Neill and Roger Kent. Wow I hadn't thought about those guys in years--maybe decades.

What a great entertainer!
