Wow, this video quality is pretty great. Just finished watching their match from CA the month earlier. Great feud!

[@CadillacL]

This is the first time I've seen footage of "Classy" Freddie wrestling. He was one tough one.

[@hcjc57]

Rikidozan was actually Korean. Nevertheless, he was a mat legend in the Far East. A big thx 4 posting! Rikidozan and Fred Blassie, RIP!

ARNOLD WAS THE REF. IN THIS MATCH.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

Why do you think that? Arnold was born in July of 1947. He would have only been around 14 years old at the time this was recorded,

[@soclib]

@@mr.mirchenstein6549 The referee is Arnold Skaaland, who was born in 1925 so he would have been around 37 here...

懐かしいなあ、陰で拳でパンチして平手打ちをアピールするポ～ズ。

[@sin8821]

このラフと言うよりダーティファイトが売りのブラッシーがテーズの弟弟子なんてね⁉️(笑)デビュー当時は正統派でネックブローカードロップの元祖❗😃結局は売れなくてヒールに転向で大成功しましたがテーズは対戦すると何時も当たりがキツかったですね❗(笑)♥️

[@user-xy7ms5jk2h]

何言ってんだか　もっと詳しく。😁力道山　もともと　山師。ルーテーズがどうしたって❓😁

[@user-lm3km5ts9q]

ブラッシーさん、リングを降りると優しい方でした。ボランティア活動をアメリカではしていましたが、愛車をキズ付けられたり大変でした。日本で人気レスラーだったビル.ロビンソンとも親しくしていました。

力道山、グレイト東郷あと一人忘れた外人側はブラッシー、ルーテーズあと一人覚えてない 年寄りが3人ほどショック死した6人タッグの試合の動画は無いのかな

[@Shannon_Lynch]

0:23 61 minute time limit? why?

[@Kfowlkes09]

To prevent the match from lasting several hours.

[@stacymirba1433]

Why 61 minutes vs. 60 minutes?

[@littlebigplanet456]

um this match isnt bloody

[@myung-sooson7598]

力道山は実は韓国人でした。 それにもかかわらず、彼は極東のマットの伝説でした /역도산(리키도 잔)은 사실 한국인(韓国人) 이었습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 그는 극동의 레슬링 전설(伝説)이었습니다. /Rikidozan was actually Korean. Nevertheless, he was a mat legend in the Far East.

[@user-yo6px2ng3g]

정확히는 한국계 일본인

[@user-iy1nx2sz4p]

Arnold Schwarzenegger ref

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

Huh?? I don't think so. Arnold was born in July of 1947. He would have only been around 14 years old at the time this was recorded,

[@user-iy1nx2sz4p]

Mike Mirch just kidding bro 😄

[@rjsjrdvmable]

More likely Arnold Skaaland
