  • Silverstein was a legit wrestler, having starred at Illinois. Thesz always accorded respect to guys who weren't just "performers," but his autobiography was critical of Silverstein. He said Ruffy believed he was a little better than he really was.

    PS - I love the "OFFICIAL REFEREE" shirt. Thinking of getting one.

  • Lou Thesz was said to be the most "protected" pro wrestler for 40 years. I believe, though, he was among a handful of top champions. Only 3 or 4 were better consistently from the 1930's to the 60's...Can anyone guess to whom i am referring? That is, which great pro grapplers were better??

  • @musicalrich1 Lou was good, but he was nowhere close to being the best.

  • I wasn't previously familiar with Ruffy, who is extremely impressive. Lou Thesz, though, I knew since the late '60's. He was one of the all-time greats as far as wrestling skill. These guys are great artists as well as great athletes.

  • My dad met Ruffy years ago, who he admired as well as Lou Thesz. Lou was the best, though, for many years to come. A real "legit" wrestler, Thesz didn't need to rely on "worked" matched to earn a championship. His first title came his way in 1937, at the tender age of 21, i believe. At that time, his opponent stated: Now your troubles have just begun, LOL..., or something like that!

  • some hot ground action.

  • AUGH YEAH HOT HAIRY ACTION... SUPERB
