Well, I was about 14-15, and I knew I was going to have to clean up the
crap that was breaking, think I got out of there at 4:00am that time. So was not
the size now I am that am more than happy to get in the middle of bar brawls the
last 25 years here in Houston at sports bars I run.
Speaking of brawls, I'm a big fan of amatuer wrestling, but also grew up
watching Lucha Libre on television. Those Mexican wrestlers rock, and are
extremely acrobatic and can literally FLY. Yes, they have "plots" like American
wrestling did, and still does, you have your good guys, bad guys, people you
cheer for, and referree sometimes gets knocked coo coo, only to have one of the
bad guys 'help' his partnet fall across to 'pin' the fellow and the ref
mysteriously wakes up at that moment and counts a quick 1, 2, 3!!! Some things
never change, no matter what country.
I sure wished I could remember the name of the Mexican wrestler who used to
wear his mask everywhere in Corpus Christi also. Nothing like walking thru Padre
Stapels mall and seeing something like that, of course, lots of people following
him, asking for autographs too. Not sure if he went to church like that
though.
Since we are still talking for a moment about wresting in the middle of AMC
talk, here is a good lucha libre site.
I'm not sure if this guy sells these old tapes, but check out the legendary
matches......
Or there, boy, this brings back some memories of MAYHEM
But these are and also have a forum:
AMC content...................I used to drive my old 1970 Javelin I bought
in 1976 to these, and would ge to the Colseum huors before the meet, just so I
could park that big red booger across the street on Shoereline at McGee Beach.
In other words, it was like going to a cruise night early to get prime spot.
Obviously other gear heads had same idea, and was usually joined by Roadrunners,
Corvettes, Novas, and other, usually pre-75 classics!
