Posted January 18, 20169 yr comment_5721408 growing up a wrestling fan, I used to tape matches off the tv. Except squash matches. I found them uninteresting. Although I would record competitive squash matches. Guys like Johnny Rich, Jimmy Powers & of course Iron Mike Sharpe. He's dead now, but he will live on thanks to the internet.

January 19, 20169 yr comment_5721799 I was looking on Youtube some random things and I just found a Mike Sharpe match teaming with Eddie Gilbert against Jerry Lawler & Randy Savage. Rest In Peace Mike Sharpe.
