Highlight of my life was the Von Brauners vs. the Volkoffs, Nazis vs. commies, losers leave town. I still grieve for the Volkoffs. Probably why I'm a commie today.

For some reason I remember Bolo, but not Sputnik. I watched WKY wrestling only at my aunt's house in the country. She was really into it. She would say, "It's fake!" and then start cheering the good guys and booing the villains. Then laughing maniacally. I love that story about your autograph book being shredded in the ring.

HOLY CRAP!! That's beyond CRAZY that he tore up your autograph book like that, I did not see that twist in the story coming!!😯 I guess watching wrestling was a right of passage for all of us growing up.
