COLLECTABLE WRESTLING POSTERS & MEMORABILIA

IT ALL STARTED ONE DAY BACK IN 1971. I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. IT WAS A SATURDAY AROUND 5 PM, THE PHONE RANG AND IT WAS MY BEST FRIEND MIKE TELLING ME TO TURN CHANNEL 47 ON, HE SAID YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT. OF COURSE FINDING CHANNEL 47 BACK IN 1971 WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH, BUT I DID FIND IT. I TRYED TO FOCUS IN ON THE PICTURE WITH ALL THE SNOW ON THE SCREEN IT WAS KIND OF HARD, BUT I FINALLY DID. THERE THIS PERSON WITH A GOLDFISH BOWL IN FRONT OF HIM REACHING IN TO GRAB ONE OF THE FISH. WHAT CAME NEXT WAS NO SURPRISE TO ME HE PUT HIS HEAD BACK AND IN WENT THE GOLDFISH. THEN HE STARTED CHEWING GLASS. DAMN I SAID THIS GUY IS CRAZY. OF COURSE BY NOW I GUESS YOU ALL KNOW WHO AND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. IT WAS WWWF WRESTLING AND THE WRESTLER WAS LONNIE"MOONDOG"MAYNE. TO MAKE A LONGER STORY SHORT, I WAS HOOKED AND SO WAS MY FRIEND MIKE. THE NEXT DAY WE BOTH RAN DOWN TO THE CORNER STORE TO SEE IF WE COULD FIND ANY MAGAZINES WITH WRESTLING. WE DID. I PICKED UP A COPY OF THE WRESTLER/INSIDE WRESTLING.
AFTER PICKING UP COPIES MONTH AFTER MONTH AND TURNING ON CHANNEL 47 EVERY SATURDAY AROUND 5:00 I ASKED MY GRANDFATHER THE BIG QUESTION, WHEN CAN WE GET TICKETS TO SEE WRESTLING LIVE. WELL WE DID AND FROM THAT POINT ON UNTILL AROUND 1976 I WENT TO THE GARDEN ALMOST EVERY MONTH MISSING ONLY ONE OR TWO CARDS. I HAVE COLLECTED THESE ITEMS OVER THE YEARS. NOW I WANT TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU, THE WRESTLING FAN, SO ENJOY.
