Midget Wrestler Sliding on Face: Get Over It

This went over well with the 15 year old set I have here at the house. Wrestling was big time when I was growing up. “The Crusher”, last championship was 1966 when he beat Mad Dog Vachon for the AWA title.

@Vintage P: I’m glad I could entertain your teenagers. Boy, those names you threw out don’t ring a bell at all. And that was the time I would have been watching. I guess we didn’t have the AWA tour.
The Iron Sheik once put a dent in my dad’s car – at least that was the story the car deal sponsor told the audience. The Sheik chased somebody into the parking lot to do the “damage.” Actually my brother hit a light pole a few weeks before it was traded!
