アメリカ最高のレスラー同士の闘い。素晴らしい。

I love how they use to have those meetings between the combatants, trainers and referees, before every match. I wonder how many times the match finish was worked out in these meetings. Wrestlers often talk about how they sometimes never met the opponent until they got in the ring for the match. If they worked together all the time, they probably used the meeting to scope out women, or tell jokes.

This commentary is awesome 😂

2 legends

Hot match, Love how Britton pulls Dobie's hair repeatedly, and hot facesit at 3:50

Kool match.

No cartoonish stuff. More wrestling. Better techniques.

This was the age of wrestling that started it all, and the guys i liked in the 80s as a child were all influenced by this age. Guys like the von erichs, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair. Those guys grew up watching guys from the 50s to the 60s

Every move has a purpose, even when Lou is trying to fight out of the headlock his counterstrikes makes sense, he doesn't just throw punches, he times them in a way to protect himself from further damage. Can we cancel AEW and pit this in its place?

George was also an accomplished wrestler, of that no doubt. Lou Thesz said George did an awful lot for the sport as a showman but was also a good wrestler indeed. High praise from a man who didn't give it out easily.

Back when you had to put 0 effort in your craft and still get paid

Amazing

I thought that was Don Fanucci

These videos are historical, you would think they would include the year the match took place in the outline...

Wow This is awesome

Why does referee have to constantly be in front of the camera

They used to save the silly over the top stuff for when it was believable that the wrestlers had lost their cool and were lashing out.

This match is NOT from the International Amphitheatre as mentioned. It is from Friday, October 31, 1952 at Eagle Hall in Racine, WI. Verne also went over Bobby Nelson and Count (Carl) von Meyer the same day. Two cards were held that day, free in the afternoon and then paid at night. There were 30 bouts in all. This was done in order to tape a bunch of matches for TV. The card was held in Racine because many of the wrestlers wrestled 2 or 3 times and the Illinois State Athletic Commission wouldn't allow it. If you notice, you can hear individual voices from the crowd and a smattering of applause compared to shows that were actually taped at the Amphitheatre.

The announcer had no love for "Richard" and "The Swede". Dick the Bruiser and Krusher Karlsson were classic heels, this was an early one. So cool to see a match from 1959. Thanks Chicago Film Archives.

🫣 Damn Bruiser beat the crap out of Gagna that first fall

Six absolute legends in the ring, seven counting Russ Davis. Bronco Lubich had flown in from Dallas to officiate this important match but he got hold of some bad shellfish that day at lunch and was unable to answer the bell so to speak. Russ and Ken Resnick were third cousins by the way.

何でこんなにクリアな映像が残ってるの？　今からもう50年以上前に東京12チャンネルのプロレスアワーで観た時より綺麗だ！　テーズ対ガニアとは泣かせるねぇ。薄くなってるとはいえ、ガニアに毛がまだある！

Age 11, 1960, I hadn't yet seen pro wrestling. Sundays, our family visted my dad's dad, well into his 80s, frail, &, (I realize now), in mid -stages of dementia. Out of nowhere he tells me about a wrestler who weighs "601 lbs". "Why's he telling me this stuff?", I thought, "& why the '1'?" That was my intro to pro wrestling: Checking to see if my grandfather was making this stuff up:^)

Can one imagine Chest Benard today with the modern weight training methods and natural supements. Then if you threw in steriods or PEDS he would be MASSIVE.

I wish wrestling was like this now

Incroyable match!

Two absolute legends in the ring, three if you count Russ Davis and I do. Bronco Lubich was supposed to officiate this important match but he got hold of some bad shellfish that day at lunch and was unable to answer the bell so to speak.

Great match! It would have been better with any other announcer though. The guy sounds like a bored heckler. Chicago had some great matches in the 50s marred by the horrible announcer.

Wow, great stuff, thank you for posting.❤❤🎉🎉😊😊❤🎉😊

Old School 🏫🔥‼️💯

Back then, even Italians and other swarthy Europeans were considered second class citizens. Notice the announcer was trying to effect a 'wop' accent.

オートンがパワーボム😲

Now this is a great match !

Seems like they were more into submission moves. More closely resembling Olympic style wrestling

Jack Dempsey was probably the toughest guy in the ring. 😂

This was boring af

I met the "Big O", getting his autograph, vs Bulldog Brower, in the early 70's!
