Horrible news. Met Bruno on a cruise in 2004. Very humble and classy gentleman. As for Number 1, I'll proudly keep my handle. Now it's a tribute to Number 1 Paul Jones, not just a nod to the great wrestler with whom I shared a name.Sad. Read Bruno Sammartino just passed too.
My cousin also shares that name. It's a sad day for wrestling fans indeed.Horrible news. Met Bruno on a cruise in 2004. Very humble and classy gentleman. As for Number 1, I'll proudly keep my handle.

Johnny Weaver ......the sleeper. !!!Any of you old enough to remember the tag team of George Becker and Johnny Weaver? How about Sam Steamboat and Mr. Wrestling?
Johnny Weaver ......the sleeper. !!!
I met Weaver at the 1st Legends Fanfest in 2004. I've got a picture of Weaver putting me in the sleeper. He was legit. Huge ears.The ears!!! The guy looked like dumbo
You are correct. He teamed with Wahoo in '75 or '76. Jones turned heel on Steamboat in the late 70s.Didnt he tag team with my man Wahoo for a while? Then turned heel?

Thanks - speaking of Ricky steamboat - any of you remember when he was relatively skinny? As he got older he got bigger , but when he first started showing up on tv he was thin for a wrestlerYou are correct. He teamed with Wahoo in '75 or '76. Jones turned heel on Steamboat in the late 70s.Didnt he tag team with my man Wahoo for a while? Then turned heel?
I think Mr. Wrestling wore a mask didn't he?Any of you old enough to remember the tag team of George Becker and Johnny Weaver? How about Sam Steamboat and Mr. Wrestling?
My two kids wrestled for Anderson University, sadly that school has also axed the wrestling program.OT: speaking of wrestling, its a real shame neither of our schools competes at the NCAA team level anymore.
Yes he did. I think he went by Tim Woods w/o the mask.I think Mr. Wrestling wore a mask didn't he?
The first time I ever had Tv in Georgetown was December 1954. I remember I stayed up late to watch rasslin. Stayed up till midnight Watched father-son team rasslin Bolo and the Great Bolo. Was hooked.
And, again, this was my first time ever having tv.
Did Mr. Jones ever do bouts in the Charlotte area promoted by the late Jim Crockett, or appear on the local TV broadcasts that Mr. Crockett was associated with? I know Weaver and Wahoo did.
Those were the good old days. Saturday afternoons on WBTV and Friday nights at the Park Center. Jim Crockett Promotions, Big Bill Ward (no relation) was the emcee. Mike Clancy, Billy Two Rivers, The Great Bolo - so many more. Those were the days.Often.
You talk about physical specimens .The most consistent Tag Team in the world was Bill and Randy Mulkey. They were 0-180. They would fight anybody, anywhere, anytime. No matter how big, they went to that ring and did their Job. Their streak came to an end when they shook the wrestling world by beating the Gladiators. They could have been 0-200.
Mulch Rumania is a life style!,,
Think of what that would have looked like if steroids weren’t around back then!You talk about physical specimens .
Gordon Sole calling those punches to "the mid-section". Still not exactly sure where on the torso one locates the "mid section" .Those were the good old days.
