Watched Big Time Wrestling out of Detroit.Bobo Brazil,the Sheik,Mark Lewin,Igor,the Brute,Haystacks Calhoun to name a few I remember.We lived in Flint and when they came to town we went to the shows.I remember seeing the Poffos,Randy in particular,who later became the Macho Man.He wasn't near as bulked up in the mid '70's as he was in the mid '80's,the wonder of steroids,I guess.

I remember dad walking through the room when I was watching Hogan one time. He laughed and said he wouldn’t stand a chance against the Bruiser. He was probably right. Lol
Looks like he needs another year;-)

Anyone remember Rufus R. Jones? He wrestled in the same era. He died while deer hunting in my county. Helped pack him out of the woods. Yes sir I remember him

He used to tag team up with The Crusher who said they were cousins. Two top colorful wrestlers during their time. A lot better than the wrestling you see today. At one time, the Crusher was said to be able to bench press 600 pounds. He died in 2005.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
