I loved Bob Luce Wrestling growing up. I watched it every week even though they hardly ever showed star vs. star. It was usually star vs. bum but it still held my interest. I really miss guys like: Dick the Bruiser,Crusher,Baron Von Rashke,Verne Gagne,Moose Cholak,Sailor Art Thomas,Pepper Gomez,Ray Stevens,Nick Bockwinkle,Billy Robinson,Bobby Heenan and my two personal favorites: Wilbur Snyder and Dr. X (known as the Destroyer in other parts). That's just off the top of my head. Does anybody know of websites to purchase DVD's,pictures,old wrestling mags?

There's a lot of good stuff on youtube. Go to the youtube search engine and type in one of those names.

Here's a commercial sure to bring back some memories...

Thanks! Back in 1982 or so,my brother-in-law got tickets to see some minor league pro wrestling at the Odeum hosted by Bob Luce. It was a thrill seeing him in person. He loved his job.

Here's a toast to the great Bobo Brazile and his patented "CoCoa Butts"! Tho there was nothing better than the lead in to the "kissing cousins" Dick the Bruiser & the Crusher! :oops:

And lets all stop at One Stop Foods on 43rd & Lake Park...or drive down Western Ave reminiscing about Ben's Auto Sales :lol:

Hear's Luce's wrestling classics program showing some stuff from 1974. Some great footage of Bobby Heenan wrestling Pepper Gomez. Heenan was always entertaining as Hell.

There's even an old Ben's Auto Sales commercial!!!
