Not sure where Tindall Armory was, I used to see Dick the Bruiser doing TV commercials for "One Stop" where he got all his ribs "and stuff" and Bob Luce would do the "Ben's Auto Sales" ads, which were always a riot!!
Tindall Armory was in Indy; on Friday nights the guys from the Chrysler Foundry and the GM stamping plant would be there. The guys in our circuit would normally appear in Indy, South Bend, Chicago and Louisville.
Dick the Bruiser (born Richard Afflis) was the local hero. He lived on the west side for a number of years. His son wasn’t half the wrestler he was and got busted dealing steroids out of a local gym. My grandpa, a Macedonian immigrant who loved Championship Wrestling on Channel 4, tended bar with a young Mitsu Arakawa as he was just starting in the game. Grandpa never liked him for his “sneaky Jap sh**” in the ring, but said he was a good kid tending bar.
