Always looking to add to my Toronto (Maple Leaf Wrestling) photo collection (especially photos taken in front of the gold/white wall inside Maple Leaf Gardens).
If you have any, and are willing to sell, please send me a DM. Thanks!

Boogie Woogie taking on all evil-doers in JCP.

Would enjoy the Valiant/Stevens/Windham vs Hansen/Ole/Koloff match if it ever materializes.

June 15, 1977: The beginning of a legendary feud. During tonight's TV tapings, Ricky Steamboat beat Ric Flair to win the Mid-Atlantic Television Title. Several weeks of the two confronting each other during interviews led to Steamboat cold-cocking Flair and setting up this match.

Now time for the Saga of Sweet Daddy Siki in Memphis in 1985

This is a 4 part deal where Tux Newman brings Siki in to face Jerry Lawler....well that backfires immediately as Siki heard Tux earlier talk about the PYT's and didn't care for that too much

[Kris Zellner @KrisZellner]

So we have Adonis & Murdoch vs. The Samoans here with Albano & Skaaland as referees which was crazy and this leads to some fun horseshit with Skaaland & Murdoch then Adonis bumping like a madman for the Samoans

The Meadowlands fans were going nuts for this

[Kris Zellner @KrisZellner]

Here we have Gorilla & Lord Alfred talking about Brutus Beefcake as only they can

The early days of Brutus Beefcake pre-Dream Team leaned heavily on his male stripper gimmick and it was something else
