That scene when he pushes the doors open and walks into the light gets me every time. Truly one of the all time greats. Thanks for posting.

The guy you love'd to hate: Classy Freddie Blassie, great manager, but for those of us lucky enough to see him wrestle in west coast/Olympic Auditorium saw the real deal!

What a guy, Freddie would whip the crowd up and FILL the arenas! RIP

I remember being a kid loving Freddie Blassie even tho he was the heel manager. I actually watch watched an interview he had with Regis and he seemed like such a great man and very caring. That video brought a little tear to my eye

[Rollie1961]

What a great tribute..... RIP Freddie..... you always entertained me.

[tonshaad1230]

I remember he used to always pick me up *I was the "Leader" in the back with him always* And he always called me " Suds" Until this day, I'll always, ALWAYS be his "Suds"

[toxicmelons]

A master.

[Y2MAC]

Great video. This makes me sad.

There was never a dull moment with Classy Freddie Blassie in the ring or at ringside. I remember seeing his pictures in wrestling mags back in the 60s and being unimpressed - he looked like an old man to me- but when he arrived on the East Coast to challenge Bruno, I recognized him as the meanest and most colorful of all the bad guys - he also used the foulest language toward his detractors. I found him to be very friendly and generous up close. Thanks for the memories Freddie!

[pornguy2]

I saw him wrestle when he called himself 'Sailor Boy Freddie Blassie' From then to the end he was simply the best. Never a dull match!!!

This always brings a tear to my eye. Such a lovely tribute.

In the mid 1960's myself and members of my high school wrestling team met Freddie outside the Olympic Auditorium after one of his bouts. Mr. Blassie took the time to talk with us and pose for a picture. I will never forget that night. He was a CLASS ACT !

[louthedog2007]

Its always sad when someone you grew up watching passes away. its like loosing a long time friend. I was a lucky guy to see Fred as a manager live at the Hamburg, Pa TV tapings for the WWF/WWE from the 70's thru the 80's. Always a class act. rest in peace and thank you....

[fordroad]

The great Freddy Blassie was down here in Australia some thirty years ago late sixties to early sevenities, man what an act " pencil neck Geeks" insulting the local women all part of what made one of the Greatest Showman in the wrestling world.
