Wow . . . All CAPS . . . You're feeling STRONG about this . . . I didn't see the "12" so I took the year of the magazine, 1997 and subtracted from 2026 (29) . . . And since Cody is 40, I figured his age to be 11 . . . I'm off by a couple of months since his birthday is in June . . . Do you feel better? . . . See you in Vegas in August . . . gmc

@GaryCappetta It says he’s 12 RIGHT THERE

Eleven year old CODY RHODES from the September 1997 issue of "The Wrestler".

That's an excellent question . . . the WWF Superstar/Dusty match was more of a spectacle and the WCW Flair/Steamboat trilogy felt more historic . . . Different eras of my career . . . As I release the audio chapters of "Bodyslams!", I do deep dive videos into these and other rivalries on my subscribers page . . . gmc

@GaryCappetta @WWE Always loved your work. How did it compare to the Flair Steamboat trilogy from 89 that you announced?

One of the most memorable matches from my #WWF - @WWE days was DUSTY RHODES vs. SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM. The series ended with a bull rope match. An unbeatable emotional spectacle . . .

@DaBruiser5 @nicklaroberts Since these are Canadian-based wrestlers, this ad may have been for the Canadian audience . . . But that's just a guess . . . gmc

@GaryCappetta @nicklaroberts I don’t ever remember seeing this commercial. Was this a national or a local one?

Jos LeDuc and the Kelly Twins selling O'Henry candy bars on the Teeter Totter.

This is a typical BUDDY ROGERS match, with the subtle cheating and prancing until the finish, when HAYSTACKS CALHOUN gets involved for an explosive ending. Rogers won the NWA US Championship he is defending here on April 20, 1960. The title was vacated on June 30, 1961 when Rogers defeated Pat O'Connor for the NWA World belt in Chicago. Rogers' manager, BOBBY DAVIS, was my favorite manager when I was a kid, along with WILD RED BERRY. The end of this video shows how well Rogers and Davis worked together when all hell breaks loose.

In the early 1990's, #WCW's top tier stars were featured in commercials for the footwear ROOS. This is THE ROAD WARRIORS' ad.

March 1989 - Wrestling Ratings from "Wrestling's MAIN Event" magazine

"Yes, learn to become an expert wrestler right in your own home by mail . . . !

I always admired the ring announcing of Jimmy Lennon, Sr. Here we are in different decades with one of the most professional champs I had the pleasure of introducing, Pedro Morales.

@wjkh No.

@GaryCappetta Do you know who produced this song for WCW at the time?

When you think of rap songs in wrestling, the #AWA's WrestleRock comes to mind. But in 1990, #WCW made a 30 second rap promotional video for WrestleWar '90. It's not as cringe worthy, but here it is . . .

AWA - Las Vegas, NV - November 15, 1986 --- Nick Bockwinkel vs Curt Hennig --- - A tough night for both competitors -

1962 Buddy Rogers vs Hans Schmidt Even though there's no sound to this clip, you can get a good feel for a pro wrestling event of the 1960's.

1987 - No Wrestling With Manuals . . .

Tuesday night I was in Jacksonville, FL to see the band CHICAGO . . . still roaring at a high level.

>>> ALL TIED UP <<< Lou Thesz vs. Antonio Rocca
