It's always a great day when the Chicago Archives upload a new match. Thank you!

I love these classic matches. Most of these wrestlers I watched when I was a kid. I'm 74 years old now. The Bruiser was one of my all time favorite bad guys. When the Bruiser and the Crusher teamed up, WATCH OUT.

Bruiser was my all-time favorite growing up as a kid in the 70's (followed closely by The Crusher)... but they were both way past their prime by then, which makes these videos from the 50's pure treasures. Too bad there isn't more footage of B&C from the 60's.

I wouldn't mind watching the entire ticket from this event... Russ Davis is a treasure btw

This is old wrestling matches way back

16:56 Verne with the first ever attempted Stone Cold Stunner...

Thank you so much for sharing! These matches are priceless

Fantastic Archive, Thank you for the post.

I'm digging the commentor's voice. "Timmy-tum-tum" lol

Thanks for the new upload!! Great as always.

The commentary on these is pretty funny. It’s super cool that you guys upload and archive these they make for an interesting watch. I love the spot at about 23 minutes in

Love the crew trying to repair the ring during the carnage. And the commentary was hilarious. Just brilliant all round.

I love it ❤ thanks alot !

Reminds me of watching wrestling at Kiel auditorium in St. Louis, RIP Sam Muchnick

Who's on commentary? He's delightfully unhinged. "Oh my laryngitis. One two three? What do you mean? ohh we'll send you back to the baseball league." 🤣 Hysterical!

Bruiser, Snyder, and Gagne went onto become business partners dominating wrestling in the Midwest.

Will you post any more matches?

More old school wrestling please 👍

Bob Luce Sunday mornings in the 70's. Love Dick the Bruser

It has been more than a year since your last upload, when will you grace us with more historical gems from the world of wrestling?

Is there another resource where I can watch matches like these? I need more than just the few here, I love these but now I'm hooked. Gotta have more old school wrestling. My favorite is Gorgeous George, as he arguably, single handedly, saved wrestling in those days as it was dying out. Thank you for uploading these events. Is it possible, or may I ask, if you would be kind enough to upload more?

In the seventies Before WWE and WCW, my brother and I used to watch all star championship wrestling on wttv 4 out of Indianapolis on Saturday afternoons,and I remember Bruiser was the world's most dangerous wrestler and Wilber Snyder the most scientific,other wrestling legends featured on there were Dick The Bruisers cousin The Crusher,Bo Bo Brazil,Valiant Brothers,Ernie Ladd,Bruiser Brody,Cowboy Bob Ellis and many more.

Great to see a fellow Swede 🇸🇪 'Hansson, Karlsson-what's the difference, he's a Swede 🤣

When will You upload more matches? Thank You!

Any new uploads from your channel, Chicago Archives? (October 2022)

Back when the turnbuckles looked like they hurt when u hit them

Cool to see Verne and Dick the bruiser right before the creation of the AWA, knowing how important both of them were in the growth of the promotion. 👍

The Bruiser looks like the 50s acter Aldo Ray.

Thanks for the history lesson. Actually a fan of Wilber. Verne looked like a badass in his day that's for sure. The commentator heckles a lot more than call the match. It's like John Wayne talking smack. Actually very entertaining

I think you have to hand it to three of these guys in the ring: Gagne, Afflis and Snyder. At this time promoter Fred Kohler was still hanging on. This was right before Vern Gagne left Kohler and went into promotion in Minneapolis. Also Brusier and Snyder left shortly and took over the Indianapolis promotion from Jim Barnett. Kohler, after a great run with Vince McMahon Sr and Toots Monde, lost the East Coast connection due to them leaving the NWA. Kohler struggled until 1965 When bruiser and Snyder along with Gagne took over the Chicago wrestling club and went on a three decade successful run!

What’s still left to be funded for transfer?

I didn't know The Dick Bruiser was wrestling that early.

Dick the bruiser looks like stone colds granddaddy…

Karl Karlson was a Killer !

look how soft around the middle verne is just 9 years after the thesz match on this channel

The boys called an audible when the ring rope malfunctioned and used it to make the match more interesting. Russ Davis calls referee Liederberg a "stup."

Announcer Russ Davis sure doesn't mind burying the poor referee.

後のイヤウケヤ､ルーインの得意のムーブだったロープ外しを既にこの時代に取り入れていたのですね😀

鍛え上げるとは正にブルーザーの肉体🎉

この時代､ラリアットが有れば？必ずブルクラは得意技にしたでしょうね😀
