  • I can clearly see y pro wrestling was thought 2 b real back then. I wonder how many wrestlers 2day could deliver such a performance, not 1 kick or punch thrown throughout this bout, Gagne's & Bastien's timing was absolutely impeccable!

  • Thanks for the posting.Top class tough professional wrestlers

  • I can see how this was considered the MMA for the people of the 1930's-50's.

  • @LiveLoveMakeup129 I LOVE OLD SCHOOL WRESTLING, red is one of the best i heard he wasn't feeling well hope he feels better, did he tell you any stories of any shoot matches he had over the years?

  • @alcorderyjr ALOT OF THE CONTACT IS REAL ESPECIALLY BACK IN THESE DAYS.

  • Its sad that all we have of real skillful pro wrestling by real sportsmen are these 1950s and before clips. After that the cheap gimmicks for a cheap thrill and buck destroyed the sport with kicks, punches, outside interference, foreign objects, blind refs , using the ropes, rock music etc, which caterr to the comic mentality of little boys.

  • @mrbluto3 I know it's pretty sad. I seen Red at a benefit last week, and someone gave him a picture to autograph... he must of looked at the picture for about 3 minutes, and then he fianally said, "That's Me", and then it took him another 4-5 minutes to sign it. Still a great man, no matter what.

  • @LiveLoveMakeup129 I bet he is. He certainly could wrestle. See my comment re. this fight.

  • One excellent, clean, fight. Great to watch. Red could've used the bottom rope to get out of trouble on the deck, but not once did it. As I wrote, an excellent fight. You're a gem for finding it and a double gem for uploading the video.

  • good match

  • Red is my great uncle and he is a great guy!

  • @mrbluto3 you still have to respect the man for what he did and is. my uncle wrestled with red and he is agreat guy
