Good to see Stan the man Stasiak. Thu out the 70.s, his win lose record was AWSOME his heart punch was. Fearsome,,,

Enjoyed watching Al Costello work. Smooth as silk, even at 59 for crying out loud, and quite a capable grappler.

Memories of the childhood. Wrestling Big Time Wrestling in Detroit. The Shiek, the greatest heel.of all time. But never trade mark his style. So a fat nothing of a man lie and stole his style. Just image if on this show only. Shiek, Mark Lewin, Dory Funk jr, Nick DeCarlo, and Don Kent, was you the money they would roll in. With today's wrestlers. Stan Stasiak, wasn't bad. I'm a Podcast host. Try to reach you a year ago. Would love to talk Big Time wrestling with you. Sammy Video Plex,. Please reach out to me Sir. Thank you, And stay well.

I loved watching Big Time Wrestling as a kid. The Sheik lived 15 miles southwest from where I grew up. Brings back memories.

Waar was the date of the Event?

[@Savant1970]

@@motorif45 I have been trying to figure out the date and I've been working to narrow down time frame. At this point, I would say that this show occurred somewhere August and October 1978. I'll update you if I am able.

@@SammyVideoPlex cool. i'm not very tech saavy, though. maybe we can link up on facebook, message in private.

[@jdbankshot]

@@SammyVideoPlex long story short, i'm from montreal, had 4 different territories on tv growing up, plus the apter mags, of course. went to many live shows as a kid. small ones in a strip mall or a county fair, bigs ones in the city. i kinda drifted away after vince took over, but never really left it, so youtube was a freakin' godsend. i've met dino bravo, rick martel (i touched the classic awa belt that he had), jacques rougeau, jos le duc, leo burke, & abdullah made me run faster than i ever have just by staring at me for 3 seconds. i love old rasslin'...
