I’ve been a wrestling fan since I can remember. Back then it was on
UHF, I think channel 47, the Spanish-speaking channel. I had the bow-tie
antenna to get it. When the picture came in fuzzy, I got some foil and
wrapped it around it and moved it around till I can make out what was
going on the TV screen. Sometimes I had to guess what was going on but
Vince McMahon, who was just an announcer at the time, told you what was
going on.
Back then, wrestling fans thought it was real. The promoters told you
it real and I knew it was real. Anybody that told me it was fake, I let
them have it.
Well I remember when Jimmy Valiant was teaming with Chief Jay
Strongbow. The was before Jimmy tagged with his brother Luscious Johnny
Valiant. Strongbow and Valiant were a good team together and I knew they
were going to win the tag team title. I’m watching it one Saturday
night, Valiant is teaming with Strongbow and the unthinkable happens,
Valiant turns on Strongbow. Holy Shit! They were the best of friends and
this happens. How could this happen. Then McMahon says that Valiant has
been hanging around with Captain Lou Albano before the show.
All this happened in the 1960′s and I still remember it and it left
an impression on me. The lesson here, watch your friends. Who knows what
can happen.
