My “pro wrestling” days were a bit earlier – 1960’s-70’s when local promoter Bob Luce hawked his product on late night UHF television. Some of the stars were Moose Cholok and Baron Von Raschke. The cheap TV matches plugged his live performances mostly at some place in Indiana (Holiday Star??) but sometimes in more upscale venues like the Aragon Ballroom. I never went to any of them.

I was in the days of Benito Gardini, Lou Thez, Yukon Erik, Gorgeous George, etal. Every saturday night a woman held up huge cardboard glasses because she thought the referee couldn't see.

I seem to remember a show that came on late Saturday/ early Sunday morning called 'Monsters of the Mat'.I only caught it about two or three times around 1987 or '88 and then couldn't find it again. I think it came on WFLD-32 or one of the UHF channels. I do not remember the name of the promotion or any of the names.
I remember the old AWA that came on Sunday morning around 10:30 or 11:00.My dad believed it was all real, and there were always the commercials for Andy Frain Security and Ben's Auto Sales. I think Dick the Bruiser and Bobo Brazil were the ones I remember most. That was before WWF took over everything.I also remember watching WCCW and the Von Erichs on channel 60? or 38?
