Ricki Starr vs Fritz von Wallick 1959 professional wrestling Sunnyside Gardens

The ballet dancing Ricki Starr takes on the imposing Fritz von Wallick. I believe it to be a 1959 match from the Sunnyside Gardens in New York. Ricki (Bernard Herman) is at his flamboyant best and shows off moves that are well ahead of their time. Starr was a huge attraction through the 1950's and early 60's before moving to England and remaining a top wrestler through the 70's. Underneath the act Starr was a rough and skilled wrestler. This is my transfer from a 16mm film that a fellow collecting friend sent to me. Matt was kind enough to let me use the transfer on my channel and make it available to everyone. All the films I purchase are made available to everyone who is interested in the Golden Age of professional wrestling. Please continue to support the ads and DVD's to help with future purchases.
