Wrestling Snapshot Questions

If you could identify the wrestler with the tattoo, you might have a chance at dating the photo and identifying the other wrestler and referee.

That's definitely Killer Kowalski having his hand raised by Baron Mikel Scicluna. I was thinking the guy in the back might be Tony Parisi, but he didn't have a tattoo. I'll dig.

I've posted it to the Unknown Professional Wrestlers group on Facebook. Given it is all WWWF talent from the late 1960s, I expect a fairly quick response.

Yep, less than 5 minutes. Tony Altomare is the guy in the back, so it was probably a tag match with Kowalski & Scicluna vs the Sicilians (Altomare & Albano), or maybe a 6 man tag with all three in the photo together against some other 3-man team.

-- thoughts there are Killer Kowalski v Tony Parisi or maybe Dominic DeNucci
