wrestlingscout's video: Golden Age of Pro-Wrestling

This video is a little overview of the notable personalities of pro-wrestling's "golden age" when it was one of the biggest television programs across the US. Due to cheap production costs, original programming and, of course, the unforgettable characters and amazing athletes, pro-wrestling was a phenomenon as the TV craze swept the nation in the post-war years. Included in this video (in chronological order): Gorgeous George entering the ring, Antonino Rocca vs. Don Leo Jonathan, Wilbur Snyder, Bruno Sammartino vs. Freddie Blassie, Johnny Valentine interview and match against Buddy Rogers, Bobo Brazil vs. Johnny Barend, DuMont Network (which featured the first national pro-wrestling show), Verne Gagne vs. Hans Schmidt, Gorgeous George on a TV show, Sweet Daddy Siki and Sailor Art Thomas confronted by the Fabulous Kangaroos, Ray Stevens, Rocca and Rikki Starr going nutty, Lou Thesz suplexing Gene Kiniski, Freddie Blassie on the Dick Van Dyke show, Fritz Von Erich, Killler Kowalski vs. Eduoard Carpentier, The Shiek, Pat O'Connor demonstrating his O'Connor Roll. **I understand I left out many people and perhaps included others too much. I am an amateur pro-wrestling historian and amateur videographer. Please view my website if you'd like to access more information about early TV pro-wrestling and its practitioners.**
