I also enjoyed seeing Argentino Apollo, Bruno Sammartino(sp?), and BoBo Brazil in the ring, too. Apollo was noted for bouncing around barefoot in the ring. He was very quick and agile, and was always flipping himself around to get his opponent in a hold. Sad to hear of KK's passing.

Your Welcome...I heard about Bruno Sammartino and BoBo Brazil before...anyway Gorilla Monsoon, BoBo, Apollo and Wild Red Berry have all past away, the only one who still alive that you mention is Bruno, who is in his 70s or 80s I think...Anyway a couple wrestler that past away that I miss are Owen Hart, Brain Pillman, Chris Beniot, Mike Awesome and Eddie Guerrero
