2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

when was that show taped?

 

Lawler even acknowledged it, saying that the London crowd always was a little unpredictable.

 

Orton's best RKO was at the Wrestlemania when he battled Undertaker. Orton reversed a chokeslam into the RKO, and got one of the biggest pops of the night. Taker did kick out of it, though.

 

London is ahead by a few hours so for a person like me in the West Coast, when I was heading to work yesterday morning the show was just about to start.

 

baron, the rko on taker was great. thought for sure the match and streak were over with it, but it wasn't meant to be.

 

Can anybody here help me identify the guy on the left in this photo?



He was in Central States Wrestling, and I've got a friend trying to figure out who it was. A few people thought it was Pat Patterson, but there's no record of him being in the area. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

 

You got me stumped on that one, Diabeetus. I thought it might have been Ken Timbs, but I'm not sure.

You have an idea of what time period he wrestled in? The CSW ranges from the early 1950's up until 1988.

 

Hmm...not sure...they think the '60s. Is it maybe Dick Murdock(h)?

 

That was my second choice. I no longer have the link available to me, but type in Central States Wrestling into a Google search and it'll bring you to their main page. That's where I started.

 

At first glance, my guess is Nick Bockwinkel.

 

Scratch that...it was for sure from the early '80s.

 

Is that Harley Race wrestling our mystery guy?

Did Reggie "The Crusher" Lisowski ever wrestle in CSW? That person bears a bit of resemblance to him.

Also, I heard of a guy named "Bulldog" Bob Brown who was a mainstay in the Midwest. I don't know what Brown looked like, though, so I couldn't tell you whether or not it's him.
