Man, does that bring back memories. Thanks for posting it, Eddy. I used to be an avid wrestling watcher back in the 1960s. Killer Kowalski and Gorilla Monsoon were regulars at the time. If I recall correctly, their manager was named Wild Red Berry, and always carried this short cane he would antagonize his wrestler's opponent with while with the referee in the ring before the match began. 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.
