Wrestler Fritz Von Erich kicked Rocky Marciano's butt

Maybe this was the inspiration for Rocky vs. Thunderlips

Chuck Wepner vs Andre the Giant was . They even took the part where Andre tosses Wepner out the ring that wasn’t staged either.

I found it interesting and historical so I put it out there. Surely that's a more positive contribution to the forum than you resurrecting decade-old posts?

- -Yessss, you've been waiting over a decade to find someone to kick Rocky's keister. Well done up up farce. Only thing missing is Gorgeous George.

hahaha. That's awesome. I wonder if I can find a video of Andre tossing Wepner. I'll check youtube.

Pretty interesting. Wepner seemed to be holding back on those punches...I guess to put on a show. But I guess once he gets tossed out of the ring unscripted pandemonium breaks out

Just plain ****** . . . the live crowd at the Andre the Giant-Wepner 'fight/match' were greatly entertained; after as they watched the live feed from Japan of Ali-Inoki, they chanted "fix."

I believe it was his punches that angered Andre , not sure the story behind it .It’s in the Chuck Wepner I think but who knows how accurate they are ?

That looked like fun, the German guy is a great Heel. I don't think any real intentioned bad blood happened that I could see.
