Posted May 10, 201213 yr comment_5502265 Saito/Ventura squash Heenan promo. These St. Louis promos are really cool Steve O/Buck win a two straight fall squash. Bizarre. Steve O badly whiffs on a finishing dropkick. HOly shit Verne hosts a mid-ring amateur wrestling contest. WTF this is bizarre and kind of creepy in a way. Maybe a bizarre EXTRA Sheiks promo. Jumbo squash. Bock/Heenan promo asking for a match with Jumbo Blackjacks promo

Maybe a bizarre EXTRA Creepy yes but not uncommon for Verne as he was a huge presence in the USA Amateur wrestling program throughout his pro career. he loved shit like this. Oddly enough, I thought it was strictly a Verne thing but I ran across some WWF 1983-ish TV some time back where Bob Backlund hosted an amateur contest just like this in the ring at a taping. Stunning to me that it happened there, too.
