THE MOST HILARIOUS WRESTLING MATCH EVER !

[munk237]

Dont let the dance shoes fool you. Ricki was a tough dude.

[bgibb101]

Brilliant! Whatever happened to Rikki Star?

[Blackouttsi2]

Omg that is the best match i have seen

[TheVirajster]

More Ricky Starr!!



[TheVirajster]

Ricky Starr should be in the Hall of Fame. Dory Funk & he are pals still. Funk tells me of a time when they had this event in the ring where they had 2 real tough wrestlers & Starr & offered anyone in the crowd ro take on ANY of them. Of course, they took Ricki & boy did he wipe the mat with them. True story. Gorgeous George only had his entrance, after that he was a mediocre wrestler....

[resop3]

And 50 years later Matsumoto Miyako revived this gimmick in Japan.

[EintrachtWalheim]

ohhh entertaiment wrestling lol

for real wrestling look my channel !!

[destro319]

@EintrachtWalheim real wrestling is gay

[8zakster8]

Lol

[transamguy666]

That guy that did the ballet is a useless idiot what a pratt.

[FerretJohn]

I woulda loved to see Ricky take on Gorgeous George

[spiritofsylvox]

@FerretJohn ... you know, that thought had not occurred to me but a Ricky Starr vs Gorgeous George match would have to have won some sort of emmy for best comedy broadcast. Just the thought of what could have been in that match is hilarious !

[honeylocs2008]

This is too funny. I came here to see if he's the same one who played in a Mister Ed episode as a hairdresser. I'm pretty sure it's him.

[MrLimeyBob]

Starr is a wrestling genius. Brilliant.

[FirebrandNIRE]

Billy Elliot 

[botan007]

Wrestlers should really take on his moves, Ballet can be deadly, this guy is great!

[dooksnob]

Great.I used to watch him in England in the sixties on Saturday afternoon sports. He was around for years there. So glad there is footage of him. Way ahead of his time even in these times.Fantastically original and entertaining. Wonder what happened to him?

[MrJavitux]

great!

[sonofderno]

According to Steel Belt Wrestling's records, Ricky Starr fought Frank Fozo on two occasions on April 10 and 17, 1959, at the Buffalo War Memorial Auditorium, beating him both times.  This is likely one of these two matches.

[VolumedMusicMan]

I would've liked to have seen star against Dick the Brusier (too cruel) or Hans Schmidt! Wrestling just doesn't have larger than life characters anymore!

[FerretJohn]

@VolumedMusicMan I don't think there's an actual video of Ricky Starr vs Dick the Bruiser but for a close approximation I suggest watching the opening minute of Bunny Hugged

[12Daniel7]

He,( Ricky Starr), reminded me of a wrestler I watched as child, named Edouard Carpentier, acrobatic, super flexible, unorthodox wrestling style for that time or anytime. Thank-you for posting this.

[triumph3dx]

Those two worked perfectly together. Fozo sold it wonderfully. If he hadn't Star might not have looked so good. Both very well done. Simple but effective. Brilliant bout

[VolumedMusicMan]

It was like watching Adrian Street, Rick Rude, and Kevin Von Erich in one wrestler.

[recklessinPa]

Despite the effeminate manner in the ring, Ricki Starr was allegedly a legit tough guy and could shoot with the best of them. He was a Jack Pfefer creation. I guess one needed to be legit tough to play the part he did. When he first wrestled in MSG, he was often billed as being from Greenwich Village. Of course.

[paladin313]

Actually, he was an actual pro dancer, and was still dancing while wrestling. Many wrestlers dance ballet to make themselves better wrestlers.

[letterboxes108]

His poise and grace are both beautiful.

[AxeNewkill]

one thing that you are all forgetting when watching this video is that you are comparing it to current wrestling - BUT you are not considering that now the wrestlers bulk up on creatine, HGH, steroids, and abuse pain killers, etc. Also, wrestlers of the past were freelance, now they all work tightly with each other for the same employer for years and decades.

[TheTerryE]

Star is very hot, great check, nice package, hot ass.

[Ironbulluk]

@TheTerryE Glad his skill didn't go unnoticed.

[elc1960]

Frank Fozo was a longtime jobber (or "enhancement talent", to put it more diplomatically). Starr was a popular "special attraction" wrestler who did a somewhat effeminate "ballet dancer" gimmick, and he worked from the mid-'50s through the mid-'60s, and made a brief comeback in the 1970s.

[tonoslim]

had that been JBL he would've given him the clothesline from hell.

[tonoslim]

aw man, this is rich!

[akfurlover]

With that great hairy chest, Ricki looks more "masculine" than many of the smooth, pretty-boys that compete in today's professional wrestling circuit. Now THAT's a MAN.

[4ulefties]

Maybe he broke a nail.

[MILLERSI81]

some of these highligths were shown in unreal story of pro wrestling

[Inediblehulk]

Pretty snazzy!

[Pickinbuddy]

Never under estimate the strength of a ballet dancer...they master the principles of balance, leverage and speed to enhance their own natural strength. Notice those stretching excercises Ricky did at the beginning...

[Bicseko]

9:20 - 9:35 :))

[tullybl]

Super funny! Great finish and a hot crowd.

[TheVirajster]

An original. Never duplicated RICKI STARR. Should be in the HALL OF FAME!! Good friend of Dory Funk, still alive in Texas.

[createsutoo]

HAHA.....WoW.....isnt That, SomeThing.......WoW.

he Turning him into.. killer kowalski.....
