One Saturday night when I was around 15 a big Limo pulled up near the basketball courts nearby Higgins Funeral Home. The driver rolled down his window and asked for directions to the Elizabeth Armory. My friends and I ran over to the car and explained to the driver that it was right up the street. As we were looking into the car, We saw this HUGE man taking up most of the back seat. It was Haystack Calhoun. It was very Cool.
No bigger underdog than Arnold Skaaland
I much have watched him for an incredible amount of years as a child and have no memory of him ever winning a match.
Great story!...I was sitting in Syracuse airport back in the early 90’s waiting for my flight and the WWF crew was deplaning at our gate...George “ The Animal” Steele walks off the plane in a three-piece suit and expensive brief case.
also called the "flying karate thumb thrust" Arnie Skaaland, the Golden Boy, always got his a## kicked but he went on the be Bob Backlund's mgr.
Loved the Baron. No matter where you hit him he would always hold the side of his head in pain.

Pedro Morales, and the great match vs Bruno at Shea Stadium after they were set against each other in a tag team match by Mr Fuji and Prof. Toru Tanaka.
Nothing better than the Vince McMahon interviews pumping up the monthly headliner at MSG.
How about the X put across the screen when someone was ensnared in the iron claw by Black Jack Lanza to spare you from the violence? Saw live at MSG, JC armory and Asbury Convention Hall. We talked wrestling as much as we talked about all the other "sports" as kids.
