Haystack was my favorite.
I liked when he would swing the horseshoe around.

My favorites that I will remember the best were the Fabulous Freebirds, probably had a few different characters.
Jimmy Hart, of course, the Mouth of the South really was in the popular band known as the Gentries with the well-known song, “Keep on dancing”. Though when I see pictures of them, I don’t know who was who.

My strongest memories of Dusty Rhodes was his feud with Superstar Billy Graham.
What a wonderful childhood memory of Saturday morning in the ‘70s!
There are several images of Mil Máscaras (Aaron Rodríguez) sin máscara, including at least one YouTube video, on the web. :)
Bummer RIP, pro wrestlers do not have a long shelf life probably because all the roids they do.
Those are some hilarious stories and I believe Ric Flair is a conservative or at least he leans right.
I remember him in the NWA with Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, the Four Horsemen, and many others. Great childhood memories.

Tomahawk chop!
Bruno Samartino was the only man in captivity ever to body slam Haystack Calhoun
Ernie Ladd? Yes, I see it is Ernie Ladd, a big star in the AFL as well.
curly haired guy looks like Magnum T.A.
sad case.
Haystack is buried in a McKinney, Texas cemetery.
McKinney has been in the news lately.........
Just ran through the photo gallery of diseased wrestlers and wrestling personalities. Dusty Rhodes at 69 was one of the oldest.
Ahhh memories staying up late and watching those wrestlers as a kid.
Ernie Ladd, he of the Chargers of yore.
The cause of death is unknown.
Possibly natural causes at 69?
