I’m young...didn’t realize WWF’s history goes as far back as it does...I always associate it with the 90s...Anyways prayers for this man’s family.
WWF was built on all the regional circuits across the country. The article does have an error, it says Volkoff teamed with The Sheik. I remember the Sheik coming through Indy once in a while in the 70s, he was mostly a midwest guy who started in the 40s. Volkoff actually teamed with The Iron Sheik, who played an Iranian bad guy. I don’t remember Volkoff being in the midwest.
I remember when I was a kid the neighbors had a TV.. The big night for kids in the hood was watching the likes of Dick The bruiser, Don Eagle, Gorgeous George and the most despised one "The Sheik," the bad guy. :) That was around 1951....???
