    I remember that Hulk Hogan said in an interview sometime after Andre’s passing that in truth none of the other wrestlers would even come close to standing a chance against Andre if things were real. Basically saying that he was just way too big and way too strong.

    I will start with I may be wrong on the dates. I started watching early 70 s , my favorites were the assassin s and Buddy Colt. Colt's best tactic was to throw his leg on rope and ref would break wrasslers apart. If Colt could not reach ropes, he would tap oppenent on shoulder to to get out of hold, naturally opponent would be furious when he found out he had been fooled.

    In late 70 s or early 80 s I had off days during week and some of the tv shows were being taped at the Sportsman Arena behind the Sears on Ponce de Leon in Atlanta. Amazed at the reaction of some fans when there favorite would be losing.

    The show you are talking about was called Superstars of Wrestling hosted by Joe Pedicino and Bonnie Blackstone. I used to watch it as well. I think it was on until like 3 am though. Was always a struggle to make it until 3 lol.
