What a great wrestler. He came from an era where wrestling was required watching if you could get UHF to work.
Another WWWF great has passed. RIP.
I remember when Morales wrestled Bruno Sammartino in Shea Stadium, one of wrestling’s first “super cards.” The two had been tag team partners, but had a “falling out” after a match against Professor Tanaka and his tag team partner (Mitsu Arakawa? not sure.) Tanaka threw salt in the eyes of both Morales and Sammartino. With both wrestlers blinded, they started slugging it out with each other, not realizing they were hitting their own partner. This led to the bad blood that set up the Shea Stadium match between the two.
so many wrestling fans here at FR
The wrestling world has had a lot of deaths the last few years. I know this guy was 76, but that is not old in today’s world. I think they have had around 15 deaths in the last two years. It seems every week another one dies....even some that are still active.
RIP.
