JerryvonKramer Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Now I'm wondering if there was a Ron Fuller vs Ernie Ladd match. With both at almost 7' that would have been a natural feud. I need to get back to scouring 70s Florida footage. Billy Robinson is on the to do list too.

Loss Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 He doesn't really get much credit in traditional circles as a worker, but Blackjack Mulligan deserves some talk as well. He was a big burly brawler more than anything, but he had great timing and knew how to captivate a crowd. I'd at least like to see him fleshed out. If someone has already said this and I missed it, forgive me, but Andre would be fun to discuss in this context too. He has plenty of output that could be viewed. Also, how much Ken Lucas is on tape? What footage, if any, do we have of Mascaras outside of Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 As far as I know, the only halfway decent run of Ken Lucas on tape is him teaming with Ricky Morton is Southwest. Pretty much the whole run of Southwest on USA Network is out there and they were the featured babyface team during this time period & feuding with The Grapplers. There is also that fun little run against Lawler that's on tape but if I remember the matches shown are short clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 He doesn't really get much credit in traditional circles as a worker, but Blackjack Mulligan deserves some talk as well. He was a big burly brawler more than anything, but he had great timing and knew how to captivate a crowd. I'd at least like to see him fleshed out. Mulligan was very much the Big Boss Man of the '70s--a big man who was not only surprisingly nimble but who could do a stunningly effective job of working underneath as a sympathy babyface, despite dwarfing most of his opponents. There's a face Mulligan vs. heel Paul Jones match on the Mid-Atlantic films that should totally not work, but it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Paul Jones was pretty great. I don't know how much complete stuff is available but some of the 70's clip/jip stuff will give ya some insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danish Dynamite Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 If someone can suggest Mil Mascaras, I can throw in Bruno :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
