Thanks very much for posting this classic match! As far as the similarly great Adrian Adonis goes, I think legitwrestling has posted a match or two of Rose and Adonis squaring off in their respective impressive primes.

isn't the brunette escort the late, great Sherri Martel?

As a kid, I had no idea Buddy Rose was an established star, the only matches I ever saw with him was 2 min squash matches; he was the squashee. Vince jobbed the hell out of Rose. BTW Adorable Adrian Adonis was even more fun than Rose.

I remember those days as well, Buddy Rose was a great wrestler.

@MISTAMAYBACH He was so fat at that point, Vince didn't have much of a choice.
