He certainly dwarfs the evil Japanese character, Mr. Moto

[James Scott]

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.

You worked out to bulk up back then, not to cut and define muscle, that's the major difference you're noting (Compare an old Charles Atlas workout to a modern day free weight workout.). Nor did these men use steroids or wax and oil their bodies, fake tan etc. You can really see the change in the body shape of the wrestlers in the early to mud eighties.

Interviewer is WAY too tall! He must be atleast 6 ft 4'. He makes the rasslers look small. Very stupid!

[William Stone]

It's interesting to see these old interviews to see how American culture has changed. Compare these guys with the current crop of wrestlers. I'm not entirely sure where to put my finger on it, but wrestlers who came up in the '50s and '60s had a certain kind of "look" to them -- and these guys have it. It's a different "look" from modern wrestlers. Again, I'm not sure how to put my finger on it, but they seem different than modern wrestlers.
