Ken Patera vs. Kerry von Erich--Pro Wrestling

The Olympic Strongman Ken Patera takes on a young Kerry von Erich. Patera is in the best shape of his life, which is already saying a lot. After an atomic slam to von Erich on the arena floor, Patera asks the crowd: "Where's your pretty boy now?" Ha! Oh, and nice, pale pink trunks, Kerry!

Following wrestling in the east coast with no cable sure had me missing a whole lotta good wrestling action.

@takauthar Good point--growing up pre-cable in the midwest I only knew what was going on nationally through the magazines--thank God for Inside Wrestling! When cable came in the early 80s, there was a whole world that opened up--the south and the northeast!

A woman in the audience (9:07) yells at Kerry who has Patera in a sleeper hold, "Kerry, let go! Kerry, let go!" It's alright, sweetheart!

@manygibbs1977 Ha! That is hilarious--great catch! That stuff was so real to so many folks--love it!

@UBrant The sad thing is ha was a great wrestler but his drug addiction got the best of him & thats why his NWA Title run was short he was unreliable with appearences to defend it

The amazing thing is that Patera doesn't bearhug him or full nelson him. Great match. Only wish someone had won.
