@realpwoloss Knowing what a comic book fan Lawler was as a kid, even with his wrestling schedule I’m sure he saw Batman shortly after it came out in June. I have to wonder if he sat on this until he had the book or it was because the Halloween stuff was coming out in August.

I’m not saying ABBA ruled in the 70s but it must’ve felt fucking incredible to dress up like visitors from another solar system and then go out and perform “Fernando”

@MSBiederman @Noirchick1 She was a popular pinup, frequently featured in military newspapers. And while there’s been multiple Lois Lanes on film, Noel was first. First in the serials and the first in color with the TV series

The reality of wrestling at the start of the US’s entry into WWII. Last minute changes to a card due to talent being drafted.

1941 - Leon Balkin’s first year running Evansville #wrestling

@KrisZellner My newest Evansville book touches on his “Johnny Marlin” stint. I’d love to have seen some of the 1972/73 footage with him as Eddie Marlin’s “British cousin.”

@hWhiteSharia @FirstNameJ0hn @JRsBBQ I think it was still just “NWA Memphis” at this point. The “CWA” was about a year away as Jarrett aligned with Verne’s AWA so they could run a “title unification” program with Lawler winning the AWA belt. A touch football game put an end to that plan.

@McgeeSmiles @HawkEmDownChris Koko… and put some respect on that name. Best dropkick of the early 80s.
