remember Saturday Mornings, sitting in the living room w/ my Dad, watching Wrestling and then Roller Derby when I was a kid.

Before my time, but used to watch the re-runs all the time....was awesome!!

Does Killer Kowalski still fish the Canal? And Tanaka used to own a biker bar ("T-San's") in Fall River. I went there once after a union meeting, and met the Professor, tho I passed on the opportunity to have my picture taken arm-wrestling him

That's when rasslin' was rasslin' Kowakski, Strongbow, Bobo Brazil, the Black Jacks (Mulligan and Lanza), Haystacks, Gorilla Monsoon, and my favorites, the managers--Captain Lou, the Grand Wizard, and Classy Freddie.

The Captain and the Grand Wizard were regular riots when Eddie Andelman had them on the Sports Huddle---you could tell that McCarthy didn't even want to be in the same room when they did that part of the show
