He certainly dwarfs the evil Japanese character, Mr. Moto

Wow.....look how young Nicky Bockwinkel is!! And humble! His mic skills certainly improved over time. A treat to see this clip of him.

Blassie said the men don't like him? I was a fan of his and I'm a straight guy! What a great man. Makes me lol.

Mike Sharpe Sr., looks and sounds just like his kid Iron Mike Sharpe the mostly jobber of the WWF in the 80's, Sharpe Jr., once spoke of his Dad on an interview, never knew they were a wrestling family.

@imjustpassinthru  Also, I forgot to mention back in the Old days, KTLA Channel 5 also did UCLA Basketball. Do you also remember those old days of KTLA Channel 5?

Dick Lane was probably an actor before I was born, considering that I was born in 1962.

And also back then, Dick Lane was the announcer for Roller Derby when KTLA also did the Thunderbirds. Back then I thought that Roller Derby was like Wrestling on Roller Skates.

@Jiltedin2007 ... Dick Lane was a Hollywood actor in his younger years. Do a YouTube search for this video:

Joe Penner and Dick Lane in The Day the Bookies Wept.

Dick Lane is the one on the far left doing the talking.

@imjustpassinthru Are you kidding me? My whole family were Wrestling Maniacs.  Ever since we came to Los Angeles back in 1967, we would have Wrestling on every week on KTLA Channel 5. And do you remember when Dick Lane would get a break from Wrestling, he would do an ad on Reliable Mortgage Incorporated from his own Announcing Booth?

And do you also remember the Lakers and Angels being broadcast on KTLA Channel 5? Known back then as "Golden West Broadcasting".
