April 27, 1960 - Olympic Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA
Main Event: Lou Thesz vs. Big Ben Sharpe

Just a few weeks left to see our exhibition LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes - closing May 19th.

Perhaps the best fighter to never win a title--although he got robbed once and came close on other occasions.

Saw some boxing history at the Plaza de Cultura y Artes OlympicAuditorium exhibit today.

Great to see Steve Yohe, I probably learned more real history from him than anyone.

Not much in the way of televised wrestling broadcast “in color” from this time period, could be one of the earliest available matches.

The OlympicAuditorium exhibition at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes is a ticket back in time. Our Chris Hayre recently got a history lesson before the exhibit concludes next month.

Rest in Peace Carl Erskine, one of the last surviving Brooklyn Dodgers, who passed today at 97. I saw him about 20 years ago at a Brooklyn Cyclones game in Coney Island, playing the National Anthem on harmonica. My dad and my grandpa were with me; both lit up to see him. #RIPErsk

In my recent posts, I recommended three terrific wrestling books by some really dedicated and talented authors. I've said it before and I'll say it again, please support wrestling historians, researchers and authors! It's a small community and so many stories need to be told!
