honky tonk man !!

Do I sound nerdy if I say I saw him and Greg "the Hammer" Valentine manning a booth at a comic book convention? Honky Tonk looked less than thrilled. The Hammer looked like an angry prick.

You have great taste -- he was mine as well. Although as a New Yorker pre-Internet, it was mostly through magazines, catching him on the WWF circuit when he'd visit, or lucking into him on an LA station on UHF Saturdays. 3 p.m. stands out in my mind.

His brother was nasty, but never got the same recognition.

Not sure how old you are but in the mid 70's there was a late night wrestling show for the International Wrestling Alliance on WOR 9. I think midnight Saturdays. Masacaras was the champion. First time I saw Ox Baker was through that one as well. I remember a few others who I don't know if they wrestled elsewhere, the Love Brothers (not be confused with the awful Brother Love), MIghty Igor (kind of an infantile Ivan Putski) and a manager named Freddy Cannon who I believe has some notoriety elsewhere.

I remember the channel 9 wrestling. It wasn't wwf ? Was there that horse racing pulling the carts right after it ?

They carried the WWWF at the time as well. IWA was filmed in a colorful studio. Very different for the time. Very shortlived as well as far as I can remember.

44, so I was around, but it sounds like it was a year or two before i started watching, because I missed it completely.

I want to say the racing broadcast after wrestling on WOR was from Yonkers. But 35 years may have taken a toll on my memory.

You and Sleek are probably right. My old age is getting to me. At least I was able to remember there was harness racing on saturday nights

Maybe you fell asleep during the wrestling and woke up to the harness racing.

The harness racing alternated depending on the season between Yonkers Raceway and the defunct Roosevelt Raceway.
