Tag Team Match

Mr. Market,
I don't remember him, but I remember Bruno Sammartino. Maybe it was a regional thing. The biggest guys in our area were The Sheik, Flying Fred Curry and Bull Curry, Bobo Brazil, Haystacks Calhoun, and my favorite announcer, Lord Layton. Wiki says Flying Fred was famous for his drop kick, but they used to say he invented the "flying mare" around here. I almost got hit by a chair during a tag team match With Curry and Calhoun vs. The Love Brothers, a pair of cheating hippies around 1968.

A bit more in memory of Haystacks. I remember him winding up to punch one of the Love Bros. who was on his knees begging. Haystacks wore a horseshoe as a necklace and they told us he weighed 714 pounds. He hit The Love Brother and knocked him right over the ropes and out of the ring. A great memory even more than 40 years later. I forgot all about Dick the Bruiser.

RIP Haystacks and all the oldtime greats!
