I saw questions about Scrapa-Stasiak and the night that Swede Hansen and Rip Hawk were pulled back into the ring by Gunkel & Fuller. I was at the matches virtually every night from the Kiniski - Thesz program till I went into the service Jan 1971. I truly was a "wrestling fanatic" from the time I was ten. I'm looking forward to participating in this forum.

I too was a real wrestling fan. I attended the matches there almost every Friday night from 1964 until I broke into the business.
One of my early jobs for the wrestling office was to usher at ringside in the auditorium. Imagine my elation at getting paid to see something I had been paying to see all those years...

Bobby, I always thought you paid them to let you referee?

Until I realized it was a real job, I probably would have.

I remember both of you guy's names being mentioned back when...Danny's in Wrestling Revue for the Sputnik Monroe Fan Club and Bobby's as a referee. Me, I was going to be a star but between being painfully shy and not being able to lift enough weights to get me past 120 lbs at that time in life it just didn't work out, LOL. I made Charlie and Eddie Smith look "buff". Don't have that problem anymore.

Charlie don't have that problem anymore either.
Eddie is still a bean pole.
