Grandpa used to take me to the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles - mid 60’s late 60’s - Fred Blassie was “champeen” along with The Golden Greek John Tolos, Ernie Ladd wrestled there during the off season when he was with the Chargers. One time an old lady stabbed Blassie in the shoulder with a knitting needle ringside. Locker Room Interviews was the best part of the show. Gene LeBell, Dick Lane, Cal Worthington and his dog Spot.

Years later living in Portland, we were big on Portland Wrestling with Roddy Piper, Andre the Giant, Nature Boy Ric Flair, Playboy Buddy Rose and Billy Jack Haynes.

The good old days. I don’t get wrestling now. It’s all kiddie stuff mostly. WWE would be out of business if it weren’t for the women wrestlers like Lynch and a couple others.

We lived in the same neighborhood as Dutch Savage for awhile. He was a bit rough around the edges. My cousins babysat for the family. My grandma was the one who hooked me. My dogs name is Rowdy Roddy...he has red hair of course.
