You are way too young, see if you remember any of the following names:
Classy Freddie Blasie
Chief Jules Strongbow
The Medics
Hardboiled Haggerty
The Shiek
Dick the Bruiser
Bobo Brazil
Gorgeous George
Primo Carnera
Mr. Perfect
Strangler Lewis
Lou Thez (the greatest of all time)
Just a few names that I remember seeing wrestle on channel 5 in LA and also at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.
Wrestling was great entertainment back then, today it is fireworks, scantily clad women and lots of bad acting, the sport is a wreck.....

When I was about 9 or 10, I lived in South Bend IN. There was a town called Elkhart and they had the wrestling matches on TV (Black and White). I was only allowed to watch a very little bit of it. I don't know who was wrestling. This was about 47 years ago.
I just thought it was so real, and why would anyone want to watch it.

the 1st tournament i'm able to keep in mind staring at surpassed off interior the process 1997, a tag team bout between Shawn Michaels and Triple H against The Undertaker and Mankind. It replaced into genuine on the initiating ranges of the preliminary feud between HBK and The Deadman, and it replaced into pre-DX. in actuality, in spite of this being likely a throw-away tournament of no instantaneous effect that resulted in a ordinary disqualification (Shawn belted The Undertaker interior the cranium with a steel chair), it rather became out to be a reasonably great deal. Shawn and Triple H (he glided by capacity of "Hunter Hearst Helmsley returned then) had instantaneous chemistry that everybody ought to be sure, and the beginning place replaced into laid for possibly the main powerful and nicely-favourite duo in wrestling background. Plus, the tournament led into that epic conflict between Shawn and The Undertaker at undesirable Blood ninety seven, the 1st ever Hell in a cellular tournament. it incredibly is thrilling, with the best thing approximately hindsight, to look returned immediately and notice the wider implications solid by capacity of that one tournament. it incredibly is the 1st one i'm able to undergo in concepts as a fan for me, and it incredibly is one I will continuously remember. As for the third message, i'm a growing to be type of excited to be sure what it is approximately. i'm nevertheless making a guess on the return of a prior person (optimistically one i replaced into friendly with), and the messages have been ok executed.

I would have to say old WWF matches because my mother was recording them on tapes, but I saw them when I wa 10 years old, but they were recorded around 1995, when I was 2 years old! I was too young to remember watching it on TV though.
