Growing up in Florida, Tampa had a weekly saturday broadcast with Gordon Solee, excused the last name spelling. we regularly saw, sailor art thomas, haystacks calhoun and eddie graham. hiro matsuda and some rotten ruskies also. probably more but this was in the late 50's early 60's. my mom shut the house down each week for this hour of fun wrastling as she called it.

Our parents were not amused as their boys decked out in their " long johns " bounced all over the living room acting out " the matches " of the day ! The best at our humble home however was when our parents went out for a while and we played hockey on our Mother`s recently waxed kitchen floor . We " skated " in our sox , wearing 2 pair worked best . Our puck was our Mother`s round vegetable brush and for sticks the brooms in the closet worked just great . And our hockey net ? Well ... turning the kitchen table on it`s side provided the perfect target ! |

Early 50's on Long Island. Bet you don't remember "The Golden Superman". How about "Hat Pin Mary" She used to sit in row one and if anyone of the wrestlers got dirty, she would jab them with her hat pin. (seriously) Remember also "Friday Nights at the Fights."

My favorites were Johnny Valentine and Cowboy Bob Ellis; loved it when they defeated Buddy Rogers in the tag-team championship
match. Also liked Argentine Apollo (Terror of the Pampas). Fond memories of days gone by. |

Anyone recall a guy named " Yukon Eric " ? Haystack Wright ? Illio Dipallo ? [ Illio ran a great restaurant near Buffalo NY for many years . Jim Kelly former Bills QB became good friends with him and was often seen dining there . ]
