There is only old Freddie and very very old Freddie, there are no other versions of Freddie 😭

[@alessio5083]

Indeed 😄 Blassie had already been wrestling for 27 years by that point

This match took place the year I was born. Blassie still ruled LA a decade later, along with John Tolos. They were my favorites.

Rikidozan's 2nd was the Great Togo, who played Odd-Job in the Goldfinger movie.. Blassie married Japanese wrestler Mr. Moto's sister..This match is at the historic Olympic Auditorium.. Dick Beyer just beginning his long rein as The Destroyer and would defeat Blassie for the belt.

グレート東郷はリングの上で肩を上下させてましたね。殆ど反則技でしたが憎めない存在でした。

Wow, Odd- job , Harold sakata ~

[@user-ue3bp9nq5x]

Wow. They stopped the match because he was bleeding too much. Things are a lot different now. Also, wrestling was so slow back then.

"Rikidozan severely cut, unable to continue, the winner, Freddie Blassy" BS! Willing and able to continue, but winner should be Rikidozan on account of Freddie causing the severe cut.
