[nikbatesNLB]

I saw this video at the beginning of my VHS tape for Wrestlemania 2

[luchador1764]

As a catch wrestling enthusiast, and grappler, i really love this vid.

[1400deadwood]

Excellent video!

[BandakaKush]

I think that Pro Wrestling needs to get back to its roots and go back and study what made these guys so great.

[wrestlingscout]

@BandakaKush It did, it's called MMA. I don't think many fighters study turn-of-the-century wrestling, aside from Josh Barnett, but the concepts of establishing characters, playing roles and getting moves and such over work today.

[WrestlingGorilla]

Great editing. I would love to see more footage of this old stuff, hard to find on youtube.

[stecermj0]

Loved it!

[dhalsim33]

can you find any video of Dan Koloff??

[wrestlingscout]

@dhalsim33 the only stuff I've seen is easy to find on youtube, so I'm assuming you've seen it as well.

[Airbornerock]

@wrestlingscout matches back then lasted hours and hours man. only if we had this today, earlier wrestling you needed strength. now its all about entertainment

[slydewinder]

Ok, I found more, I'll keep looking. Thanks again

[lampard1986]

the bulgarian lion Dan Kolov is the greatest wrestler of all time!!!no doubt about it...

[eslubin]

You have John Pesek labeled as Jack. Jack was his son.

very nice production overall

[wrestlingscout]

You are 100% correct, unfortunately my original iMovie of this is long gone.

[armandroh666]

Every WRESTLER or superstar ought owe a det of gratitude & repect to the likes of Buddy Rogers, Ed Lewis, Frank Gotch, Gene Kiniski, George Hackenschmidt, Joe Stecher, "Killer" Kowalski, Lou Thesz, Pat O'Connar, & Vern Gagne.

[Anglefan12]

and of those guys, Ed Lewis owes Evan Lewis, the original Strangler some gratitude and respect. Pro Wrestling has a very fun history, is there a series of DVDs anywhere where I can get it chronically the history (and not just American, i want some El Santo and Rikidozan too).

[TheVronzes]

[wrestlingscout]

"Triumphant Return" a WWE production theme

[BREMENMURRAY]

Excellent footage

[TheVronzes]
