Yes he was a gymnast and a pretty damn good wrestler he lives in Surrey BC now and is a Jehovah's witness,use to live down the street from him.He and his wife are very kind people.
@shad0walker5 yeah right he was a great face in portland I always wished in the mid eighties that he would come back for another northwest run. is he really your dad if so what is he doing these days
@shad0walker5 I wonder what your dad's thoughts on portland are working for don owen and dutch savage and what a young roddy piper, buddy rose and adrian adonis were like...
@shad0walker5-I had the opportunity of seeing your dad wrestle about 5 or 6 times back in the 1980s. I really miss him and those days in wrestiling. We never had the opportunity to meet, but give him my regards.
Ha ha ha....Eric Froelich was a gymnast. Gymnasts are what 5'3"/5'4". He's easly 6'. I think that announcer just made that up. He's just another barefoot wrestler. Which seems more real anyway. I don't think that these boots did so much for the wrestlers.
I remember Ron Starr from Stampede Wrestling (where he worked as a heel), but I never saw him wrestle in Vancouver with All Star - and as a face, at that. Thanks for posting this, this is a good match.
was he really wrestling with a dislocated shoulder? there was definitely some deformity there. anyway it will still great wrestling! thanks for posting!
Ron Starr must have used the term "snake in the grass" quite regularly because I remember him using the term when I watched him in Stampede.

Ron Starr, IMO, was one of the under-rated greats.

Eric Froelich really was a gymnast. My father gave him his start in wrestling after seeing him at a gymnastics exhibition.

Yes he is really my dad... He's living in Alabama. Still with his wife "Peaches". His health isn't the greatest but he's still kicken!

Froelich has incredible legs, especially his thighs. I'd be in sheer heaven if he clamped em around my head and began some punishment. WOOF!

I met Starr at the PNE Fair back in 1982 or 1983 when I worked there as a kid. He was wearing a stampede wrestling shirt.
I liked "Rotten" Ron Starr on Stampede when he was with Honky Tonk Wayne. They were called the Memphis Mafia.
