Wrestling interviews from the Olympic auditorium 1971

[bangbang6x]

I wish I had recorded more and I wish I had'nt lost some of those audio tapes....

[rjplamf61]

Growing up I used to watch wrestling from the Olympic on the UHF station 41 in NYC every week before cable tv came around. Used to love listening to Jimmy Lennon. Raul Mata I think was the champ then.

@@Luizojeda1, the best place to look for him is here on youtube! Just search for the names he used to work under. Thanks he is a great friend.

[bangbang6x]

It was the greatest rivalery in wrestling and I can say I was there and taped it, thank you for the comment..

I remeber the Blassie v Tolos series of matches. Bloody good. One match, both guys wore leather studded neck collars, to protect from Blassie's "bite", and Tolos' knee drop. Blassie was a major face in LA, until he up and abruptly left and came to WWWF to challenge Pedro Morales. Tolos should have come east to challenge Morales as well. Great wrestling from the Olympic back then.

I will tell bengali what you said, please let me know if you finish that video. I would love to see it. Thank you, Marcos Ojeda

[Luizojeda1]

@Luizojeda1 I got your message to Bengali. He said "eramos bien camaradas". He was happy to hear from you. I found a few matches of Bengali vs. John Tolos, Al Madril and a tag team match with Victor Rivera and Coloso Colosetti against Mr. Mexico, Romero and Big Ben I just put up on Youtube. Do you have any ideas where I might look to find more? Any suggestions would be appreciated. The whole family really enjoyed them.Thank you Mr. Marquez.

Please accept my condolences that Bengali is alive and well. No I'm just kidding send him my regards and tell him what I said here at the start, thanks. PISTOL PETE MARQUEZ

[bangbang6x]

Thank you!

[Luizojeda1]

Please forgive me sir. I just realized after subscribing to your youtube page that your "THE" Pistol Pete. Wow! I'm honored.

[Luizojeda1]

Bengali is doing fine, just got to see him and his youngest daughter at family reunion last week. Looks good and danced with the girls all night. He still has the moves. Same old Bengali. Thanks, I hope I get to see the match you speak of.

Did you Wrestle too?

[bangbang6x]

I love Bengali he was a friend and I was just editing a match he wrestled in as the green terror. I'll post it soon. how is he?

[Luizojeda1]

Do you have any video with Bengali from Fresnillo Zacatecas? He is my uncle and I am always searching for old matches of his. He wrestled at the Olympic in the 70's. I have a couple Rowdy Piper movies he was in as one of Los Medicos too. Let me know I will pay for your troubles. THNKS!

[bangbang6x]

Thanks for posting. I loved watching these matches on TV when I was a kid! The Dick Lane/Jimmy Lennon audio was a total flashback. Blassie-Tolos with Black Gordman...classic!
