In the mid to late 70s when I watched wrestling, some of the major wrestlers;

Chief Jay Strongbow and Billy Whitewolf- with their "sleeper" hold
Stan "The Man" Stasiak and his magic heartpunch
Superstar Billy Graham
Haystacks Calhoun and Gorilla Monsoon
Toru Tanaka
Bob Backland
Bruno Sammartino
Captain Lou Albano
Classy Freddie Blassie
Iron Shiek
Nikolai Volkoff and his Brain Claw
Blackjack Mulligan
Rowdy Roddy Piper

What? No 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan fans?

The 'Berserker' was a personal favorite.

http://www.desirulez.net/forumdisplay.php?f=818 this is my place to watch nxt it like old school wrestling without the mcmahon in it great talent and matches. I'm a fan of sami zayn and paige and emma the wyatt family casssius ohno and aaron neville. It's so good.

The Steiners.

I seriously used to have nightmares about Bruiser Brody! And does anyone remember the masked tag team of Mr. Wrestling #1 and Mr. Wrestling #2? I loved them and I have no idea why!

No one can top the Bushwhackers

The Rockers were cool too

Rick Rude (R.I.P.)

was a favorite wrestling villain when I was kid. I thought the guy was such a one who sucks the penis too.

Favorite tag team ever.

Isn't the Wyatt family coming to WWE?

DOINK THE CLOWN PRO WRESTLER DIES AT 55
BREAKING NEWS
Ex-WWE star Doink the Clown -- a hugely popular wrestler in the '90s -- was found dead today in Texas.

Doink, real name Matt Osborne, was known for pulling pranks on the other wrestlers ... all while decked out in full greasepaint and a green wig.

Details about Doink's death are unclear at this point -- but his girlfriend reportedly found him dead in her home ... where he'd been staying lately.

After leaving the WWE, he continued wrestling for ECW and independent leagues ... still sporting the clown costume.

More recently, he's been attending wrestling conventions and doing autograph sessions with fans.

Doink was 55.

What? No Jimmy Snuka?

Does anybody else remember going out to channel 2 studio in St. Joe and watching live on I believe Saturday nights. I am 52 now so that was about 40 to 45 years ago.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
