The Original Sheik Reggie Crusher Lisowski vs Rocky Ski Hi Lee Rudy Kay 1950's wild wrestling

Here is a match featuring The Sheik and The Crusher taking on Ski Hi Lee and Rudy Kay. Here the most hated heel in wrestling over the 1950's and 1960's, The Sheik teams with Reggie "The Crusher" Lisowski. The Sheik would go on to own the Detroit Territory but would headline across the country. Born as Ed Farhat, the University of Michigan football player would morph into one of the most hated wrestlers of all time. The mad man Sheik uses every weapon at his disposal here. The Crusher would soon go on to become AWA Champion and form one of the most hated and then most popular tag teams with Dick the Bruiser.
The match took place in Chicago's International Amphitheater with Russ Davis on commentary.

Didn't Sky Hi Lee become Don Leo Jonathan?

[@rickyusa1000]

@@DavidSmith-oh3re No, different guys. Jonathan was a lot heavier and I think younger.

In 1979, a new pro wrestling publication hit newsstands and magazine racks across the nation. It was Pro Wrestling Illustrated. When the the first issue went to press, Reggie Lisowski, as Crusher, was ranked at #6 in the now defunct American Wrestling Association.

At fIrst, out of four people, in a tag match, the Sheik was considered the sanest of the four . . . Who would have ever believed that ever happened? 💀✏

[@sjames304]

Exactly! Wow.....classic early Sheik footage.

[@Handsome_Gary_Kamensack]

Was Sky Low Low related to Sky Hi Lee?

[@lainefrajberg813]

The Sheik (Eddie Farhat) showed more wresting skill than any of the of the other men in this match.Eddie presents a slimmer (and saner) figure than in the years of his ascendancy.

[@buddmannable]

Eddie Farhat the sane one?? How long have I been asleep???

[@rickyusa1000]

And like all good "Giants" do, Sky Hi Lee steps over the top rope on his way out of the ring.

[@michelpelletier3600]

Well, Sky Hi was obviously not a wrestler. More like a freak attraction like André. Crusher always fun. Sheik very subdued. Did not have his gimmick yet.
