I missed the A&E show and I did want to see it. I really liked watching
wrestling when I was a kid (me and my little brother used to watch on WMUR
Channel 9 too, along with Uncle Gus... "Pipe down you kids back there!"). I
don't remember a lot of the older ones although Putski, Kowalski, Calhoun,
come to mind. I used to love watching Tony Garea (an Austrailian, old style
wrestler), Chief Jay Strongbow and Bob Backlund who seemed to be losing his
championship every week (Nailbiting too; Back and forth for years to "The
Masked Superstar" ... I hear they brought Backlund back recently...). Of
course Superfly Snuka, Playboy Buddy "Fatboy" Rose, Capt. Lou, the Iron Shiek
and who can forget The Grand Wizard of Wrestling with his pre-New Wave specs.
The melodrama was really over the top compared to the Hollywood flash and
promotion of the stuff I see on Turner as I click by... Ah, to be a young boy
again...
