Good action from before I was born.

Great win for Sonny!!! He's such a beautiful man with a great body. It was hard to watch the younger Myers getting beaten down by the old guy.

The wrestler identified as Ioanis Constantino Kostolias in this video is not Ioanis Constantino Kostolias. Although he did wrestle under the name Kostas Davelis, in 1952 Ioanis Constantino Kostolias (also known as Johnny Kostas) was wrestling in Brazil.

Sonny Myers was blacklisted by the NWA for borrowing talent from the Kansas promoter to book at his local carnival show in Missouri. He took the NWA to court and won. Sam Munchnik reinstated Sonny. He later on became a full time referee in the central states area and Florida.

two well matched fighters, but Myers better with his fists and softened up the big Greek good and proved who was best man...

[@gregstrong7207]

good close up action @ 3:05, heats up around 6:30, hand punishment @ 11:05, hot spot is Myers's atomic drop

Sonny even did fine in 1981 at KC.
