Cowboy Karl Davis vs Terry McGinnis 1930's 1940's professional wrestling wild Los Angeles match

[@hypnoticskull6342]

So cool how old school pro wrestling looks a lot more realistic

[@MJBYouTubeNetwork]

The kind of wrestling a 1990s baby loves, appreciates and above all, *respects.*

[@flyingchimp12]

lol except the part where he had him on the ground "branding" him

[@ryzalboyz9511]

Because they also doing Catch wrestling

[@Handle2point0]

Those head stomps are every bit of real. I have to assume all of the punches connected as well

[@thegreenjedi1792]

​@@Handle2point0lol some clearly don't even touch

[@feezmizaro]

The intro makes me feel like I'm about to watch Tom & Jerry.

[@TotallyCyan]

Same

[@rudeboyrg]

Except that this is slightly less violent.

[@ZyxDaRK]

Same lol

[@jessicam4028]

I love watching this. thank you so much for posting this. Terry is my great grandpa and it was a surprise to find this.

[@WrestlingFilms1]

That's great, I;m glad you found the match and got to see him in action.

[@orange-op4ob]

I heard him on an old Groucho Marx radio show "You Bet your Life." from 1949. Groucho hints that they plan matches beforehand. Funny moment kind of uncomfortable you should listen. It's online google "Third Season - Bank Newlyweds / Druggist & Housewife / Wrestler & Libranian"

[@nonosquad2221]

I was sorry to learn he passed away rather young

[@realme-tq4cq]

He’s also my first cousin

[@DanyealDHelton]

That's so cool Karl Davis is my Great-grandfather

[@saintpeeter]

Regardless of the athleticism and glitz of modern wrestling, I think these early bouts were entertaining as hell - great commentary.

[@iiGODLYWARRIOR]

Imagine Stone Cold coming out and stunning one of these guys.

[@kidneybleach1299]

Thought he was about to a stunner at 4:07

[@derricklavender4672]

Lol

[@Kameraman712]

I dont think he was born yet

[@maxdamage4919]

WWE Wrestler are steroid fighters lol

[@teapulp]

Love Stone Cold, but he'd have enough time to get one arm wrapped around their neck before they had him in a sugarhold.

[@StrongStyleShooter]

The moves look way more stiff and brutal than today’s wrestling

[@adamdowling9032]

😁 They Sure Do!

[@ryzalboyz9511]

Old school classic pro wrestling training Catch wrestling, in Modern era pro wrestling only fews of them know how to do a actual catch wrestling

[@Handle2point0]

This seemed personal

[@tristanvillalontriss9220]

I prefer this kind of wrestling than today's style, this looks more of a sport than entertainment

[@ianburton6071]

Thank you for posting this match. A treat to see professional wrestling from this era, and such a good quality film.

[@joshacox664]

This was awesome. So brutal and very realistic.

[@pennyjerkins7115]

This was great to watch. I love hearing old school announcers like the gentleman calling this match. I wish the ufc would get some professionals to call their fights. Thank you for the upload!

[@royalmisfits9498]

This is a GREAT match. Especially given how old it is.

[@phisaki]

This is a wild and violent match. They're not going into spot for spot for spot... their flowing in a free state where you can take the match at whatever feels right. This is all a work and they're telling their storylines to get you to see the next match. Pro wrestling at its finest. 👌

[@kieranlane3226]

These two are more talented than most wrestlers nowadays.

[@carsoncyrus9627]

[@21stcenturyschizoidmana29]

More like more talented than any pathetic wannabes after 1970's

[@bvim75]

@@21stcenturyschizoidmana29 what happned after 70s? I am not much into pro wrestling

[@PolylabStudio]

​@@roa.b8891 Because it is a different era Wrestling now is more on entertainment and explosive. Because if you use this kind of pro wrestling today then better just watch UFC or boxing lmao. Also wrestler today is more risky that it was in 40's that is why most pro wrestler today needs to be in best shape to perform those unrealistic moves

[@BojackTrunks]

So Batman Beyond traveled back in time and did professional wrestling?

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

Only 1 pinfall attempt. It worked. Bulldog finisher. Still works today. Very modern in many ways. Looks more realistic though.

[@NinjutsuBujinkan]

Thanks for posting the Terry McGinnis clip. I'm his grandaughter but never got to meet him, and my father (his son) is no longer alive either. It means a lot to my brother and me to have that incredible clip. Can't thank you enough! By the way, we know from geneology records that he is descended from England's King Edward IV, Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, The Holy Roman Emperor of 932, Swedish Kings.... etc. The warrior genes are evident, what an athlete!

[@edwardgarea7650]

Cowboy Karl Davis later became Crippler Carl Davis. He moonlighted as a stunt man. Look for him at the beginning of the 1955 cult classic, “The Creature With the Atom Brain.”

[@Dakka0451]

Better than any match I’ve seen in the last 20 years. Sad really.

[@DoctorProfessorPablo]

Amazing heel work here

[@ronst.george1449]

Every man in the audience is wearing a tie....you won't see a single person in a tie today. Times change.

Wow! Trends change over time? Who knew!

[@gogetassggss7988]

Not exactly I know everyone won't wear a tie to wwe but u can say somone is wearing a tie to wwe to look fresh because probably his girlfriend or wife likes wwe

[@s103792]

Who tf wants to wear a tie to an informal event? Much rather see people wear whatever they want then feel the need to wear a tie

[@MichaelJ44]

s103792 It looks more civilised

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

No microphone. Just yelling. So somewhere from 1915 to 1935 they added ropes. Really doing a deep dive here. Also it stopped being Greco Roman & more fighting.

[@ermonski]

6:25 that spear was beautiful

AND THERE IS ROMAN REIGNS WITH A SPEAR

[@jaysteinke6629]

Was the ring announcer not using a microphone bc he really *was* loud enough for the crowd to hear him without one, or had the dynamic ring mikes not been invented yet?

When wrestling was real and not scripted...

[@DaddyDagoth]

This was scripted. Wrestling still had some shoots in the 30s but this one was obviously scripted. It looked way more brutal than today but that is because the sport and kayfabe was insanely protected back in the day.

[@BananaMana69]

@@DaddyDagoth Also because they're not taking 5 minutes to very obviously set up a table and ladder to do a spot off of.

[@charvelgtrs]

Wrestling was always scripted its just back in the day the wrestlers had more control of what went on in the ring outside the finishes

[@joethecabdriver]

Not scripted but worked. The booker tells them the finish and maybe a high spot or two, but it was up to the wrestlers to improvise the match.
