Detroit Big Time Wrestling (1979)

[@djbeacon6895]

Saw Big Cat Ernie Ladd wrestle Mighty Igor at the Monroe County Fairgrounds in the early 70s. This Sheik and Abdullah combo is great. Amazing camera work showing us the hidden object but the ref never sees.

Hearing the great Terry Sullivan is such a joy... Wish there was more!! Folks should check out the series Big Time Memories with Terry Sullivan and Supermouth Dave Drayson, also available on KZbin...fantastic stuff....god I miss this era of wrestling

Sheik's territory was running on fumes in 1979... a long ways from the days when Andre, Mark Lewin and Bobo Brazil would headline before thousands at the Cobo Arena

I loved John Bonello, and Randy Scott, growing up. I can't find any KZbin videos on either of them. I never heard anything about Randy Scott, after Big time wrestling, but once in Ohio, he was to wrestle the Shiek. And I know the rumors of John Bonello, about his wife and him being a wwe/ refree.

I remember it being on WXON Channel 20 at 4pm followed by All Star Wrestling on CKLW-TV, channel 9.

Man it looked real back in those days didn't it

[@Tazzman225]

I met Hacksaw Jim Duggan and went were discussing the NWA and Big Time Wrestling. He told me that he used to watch those guys and learned about wrestling from them.

Excellent

[@robbiemunyon8881]

Much better than today's nonsense!💯

[@sergebutler2737]

Did the chief say that he was going to be "INSIDE OF HIM " . Sh*t they really wanted to hurt you back then .

[@yoshikitakaya7871]

Wow!! Never heard of this!!!

[@terryalberding4420]

How did that reff not see his collar missing from his neck?

[@lodi70005]

Pro wrestling referees are a special kind of blind.

[@millardhale85]

A Figure Four Arm Lock?

[@jdouglas1327]

Poor Randy Scott

[@FrogmanUnderwood]

Was Bobby Colt aka Chris Colt? Same facial hair and same look.
