I can remember going to the TV station, Channel 47 on Monday morning as a kid to get free tickets to watch the live show that night. It was held in the big metal building behind the station at the corner of Shaw and Cedar Ave. where Black Angus Restaurant is today.
My 2 brothers and I would sit on the east side of the arena opposite side of the ring camera. We did this because the matches were shown on TV Tuesday night at 6:00 pm. We had fun seeing ourselves on TV. I remember the tag team matches between Ray Stevens and his partner Pat Patterson against Pepper Gomez and Pepper Martin.
Also, Rocky Atlas, Haystack Calhoun, The Spoiler, Kenzi Shabuya, Mistu Arakawa and the rest. Those were the days, we thought them to be as real as some think they are today.
