CANADIAN WRESTLING REVUE - APRIL 1975 - Issue #4: Page 1

There have been requests for me to re-print the
bulletin that Glenn Ottaway and I published back
in the mid 1970's.  Unfortunately the ink has faded
on a number of issues, but I will try to post all the
issues along with new pictures and updates.  Here
is the original Issue #4, starting with Page 1. 
Killer Kowalski chokes The Sheik and gives him
a severe thrashing at Maple Leaf Gardens on
February 2, 1975

Even though Kowalski over powered The Sheik,
he was unable to end his winning streak.
Two weeks later on February 16th, Kowalski
gives The Sheik another good beating.
At the London Arena on April 20th where you
definitely can see the large abdominal scar.
Apparently this was The Sheik's favourite Chinese
Restaurant for a bite after his match.
Billy and Benny McGuire all 1,300 pounds of them
arrived in Southern Ontario and they enter the ring
on mini-bikes! 
The two pictures show an unidentified man
who claims to be able to throw fire, and says
he taught this secret to The Sheik.
After further investigation, this apparently is
the alleged person throwing fire.  
Sweet Daddy throws Hartford Love around in this match
at Maple Leaf Gardens on March 2, 1975.
Sweet Daddy and his Karaoke Show at the Duke of York
Pub in Leslieville here in Toronto.

In attendance was Richard Dawson, host of the original Family Feud game show, regular panelist on Match Game, and played Royal Air Force Corporal Peter Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes.
