My parents met at the wrestling matches in Hazard in 1966...

All of these shows have been great. They would have gone over well in this area.

Griggs, I'm sure your Dad was leather tough, and panther quick, just like Troy T.

Sounds like there may have been some hot summer nights there in '66 too than Grigs

Great rally by the favs in that main. The Thunderdome wins are getting spread all around. Tough times for The Nightmares.
