gordi Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 A tremendously entertaining pro wrestler. Gama was a bad guy in Calgary by virtue of his race, but I had the great pleasure of seeing him wrestle as a good guy against Matt Bourne at what I believe was the one and only show promoted by Pro Wrestling Canada. It was a tremendous match, with classic chain wrestling, outside the ring brawling, and over-the-top crowd heat. As far as seeing how good he was on tape... like most of the guys who worked a lot in Stampede, it's tough to get footage of him at his best. Ed Whalen and Stu Hart used their TV show as a way to promote house show matches, so the best stuff was saved for live shows... and Whalen was notoriously sensitive to anything that might offend older viewers, so a lot of great stuff got clipped out.
