"Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan vs Cowby Bob Ellis


When I was growing up in the midwest in the late 60's and early 70's I was a huge pro wrestling fan. My favorite tag team wrestlers were The Blackjacks [Mulligan & Lanza] with manager "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan.

Sometimes Heenan would even get involved in matches [usually against his will]. If you watch today's video you'll see a match where Heenan was signed to wrestle crowd favorite "Cowboy" Bob Ellis. Despite the fact that Heenan had recently busted his knee, he went down to the ring on crutches to seek a short postponement... of maybe six or seven months... click HERE and you'll see what happens when the match is forced to go on.
