Freddie Blassie vs Rikidozan (3/28/62)
Part 1

[@pd4106]

Freddie Blassie was the Champion when I was growing up in Los Angeles. I sure loved him. So many fond memories watching the Wrestling shows at the Olympic Auditorium in LA and the old Muncipal Auditorium in Long Beach. Bob

力道山は凄かった。あの頃は日本も活気があり皆イキイキしてたね。力道山懐かしい。

[@rodrigomontesino8882]

This was a combination fight...

[@brottarnacke]

I like how he says "and punches him totheleft ear".

[@ThatsABiggon]

DAMN, Classy sold the hell out of those chops....

[@user-mu9nn9hb1c]

力道山が反撃するときは凄かった。見事なもので迫力があった。残念ながらもう見ること出来ない。

I saw this live on KTLA, channel 5, LA. Unusual for a title change to take place on TV in LA in those days. After the match, an outraged Blassie appeared in the dressing room yelling, "I'm going to speak to my very good friend President John Kennedy about this!" The California State Athletic Commission supposedly fined Blassie $500 for ripping off referee Johnny "Red Shoes" Dugan's shirt. The (English language) play by play announcer is the legendary Dick Lane.

[@monsterbowler]

notice also the japanese commentary is being spoken over the tape. There is a definite difference in the audio levels. This was a japanese broadcast, but the match was from the olympic auditorium in LA.

[@BryanHalo123]

Rikidozan did not seem to understand he was being chocked.

元敵国の力さんよりブラッシーの方がブーイング多いというww 流石だ

[@user-mu9nn9hb1c]

誰がどういおうとも力道山は凄くてカッコ良かった。もう二度と会うことはできない。

[@BaronTurco]

This is from ratt trap in Los Angeles' Olynpic Auditorium

[@pd4106]

you are right bangagone! Bob

[@hcjc57]

Hey Timmy3000, You're probably quite well aware of this, but in addition to wrestling, Dick Lane was far better known as theTV play-by-play voice of the LA T-Birds of Roller Games, and prior to that the LA Braves of Roller Derby! Now if anybody could come up with footage of him calling Braves games, that would be so cool!

[@tommypickles7]

"JUDO CHOPS!"

[@MrK623]

Jimmy Lennon was the best wrestling and boxing announcer ever.

[@user-oz6lm7fe9y]

딱봐도 짜고치는것 같은데;

[@MrMKH2010]

Rikidozan did a shoot on Blassie on several occasions. He would not put Blassie over on any of their matches.

[@pinfold1000]

[@dragonballbmx]

que truchada por dios

[@user-rn8xo9np2u]

벌써 오래전부터 가짜경기였군...

[@youmr3126]

当時最凶の外人レスラーだった。試合開始直後からの反則 攻撃、対戦相手の馬鹿正直な紳士な試合運びに歯ぎしりしたものだが、今から見ると勧善懲悪、水戸黄門の世界を見るようだ。大人の 世界は表面だけではわからない。複雑怪奇なものなのだ。善が 悪を正す、しかし大人になると世間では悪が善人面ではびこることをを知る。プロ格闘スポーツ関しては力道山のちファイティング原田、沢村ただしとジャンルは違えど自分史の中では変遷していった。

[@pintoaki]

일본놈

[@user-qh8tp1qx6q]

児戯に等しいみっともないショーだな

[@sin8821]

つまりは横綱候補とまで言われた力道山なので大相撲も児戯という事だなw
