CLASSIC MATCHES

As part of the Department of Wrestling's mission to maintain kayfabe and defend reality wherever it is threatened in an increasingly complex world, we are proud to present an ongoing series of photos highlighting classic matches featuring famous and not-so-famous wrestlers and promotions from throughout professional wrestling's long and glorious history.

Sledgehammer Samson vs Bigfoot

1967

A rare photo from the classic 1967 bout between Sledgehammer Samson and Bigfoot at the International Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Punchinello vs Diablo Kid vs Deuce Wilson

1947

A triple-threat-match for the then-vacant Transcontinental Championship. The match was held at Casa Del Dolor in Tijuana, and infamously ended in a triple disqualification after all three men attacked each other with knives. The Diablo Kid would go on to win the belt later that year.

Iron Fist Jackson vs Kill-O-Tron 5000

1975

Held at the East-South Arena in Bowling Green. The unique "white-white-red" rope scheme was part of a special promotion being run by a local Burger Chef franchise.

All images are 100% authentic.
