Some autograph help from wrestling experts.....

[boysblue]

please.

I picked up a scrapbook full of promo photos (mostly 60s & 70s) and there are three autos in the group. I have no reason to assume they are not real, and an eBay search does turn up a couple of Carpentier examples that look similar to the one I have, though mine is written "E" and not "Edouard". And is anybody familiar with the well known midget wrestler Sky Low Low? It looks real enough. Finally, the Canadian Wildman. This one has a large and legible scrawl on the back--could be him in character, I suppose. My searches turn up no examples of SLL or the CW, so any help would be appreciated. A small poster of The World's Greatest Attraction: Andre the Giant was also part of the group. Anybody seen it before?

I can offer no help on the auto's but the thread was copied to the autograph forum to try to get some more help. Good luck.

The Canadian Wildman is Dave McKigney, He wrestled under a few different names and looks like he was more famous as "The Bearman". It looks like it's signed "Wildman" on the back.

If wrestling is fake, does that mean wrestling autographs are fake too? LOL

Not fake - choreographed.

The outcomes might be predetermined, but most of the injuries are real. My arthritis confirms this.

Hey, anybody that's 6'5" and 320lbs that can do a triple back flip from the top rope on to somebody's neck without killing them, is beyond a great athlete.
