They did not do moonsaults , but their strength , speed , mat wrestling and body coordination was off the charts. Later Koko Ware was a great athlete . In his prime Ware had the best dropkick in he business . However Ware went to the WWF and got out of shape . Sadly Ware never regain form. Later Doug Furnas and the Steiner Brothers really stood out from the pack. I will give a shout out to Nick Bockwinkle . Nick stated wrestling in the 1950's. In the 1980 's he remained in top physical condition and put on fantastic AWA title matches in his 50's. Nick was a pro , the man could have a great match with anyone.
