I saw Ox Baker and Ernie Ladd and all the wrestlers of that era.
We used to go Saturday night to Cobo Arena in Detroit. We always had seats on the aisle where the wrestlers came out of the locker room. I wish I knew what happened to all my signed programs.
We saw many chairs thrown into the ring along with wrestlers using ice picks and fire. Lots of blood. And cage matches, holy cow as a kid those were awesome.
Wrestlemania and that whole era in the 80s and 90s was junk.
There is some debate on whether it was Ox Baker or Stan The Man Stasiac who originated the heart punch, I’ve seen them both live throw the punch.
