I think it was "Red Bastein"... but I may have my wrestlers confused.... anyway... he attributed his skill in the wrestling ring to his years of 'ballet practice'.
Between wrestling moves in the ring, (giving his opponent time to recover which ALWAYS pissed me off), he'd go into some type of Ballet Move.. perhaps a pirouette or a Pas de cheval.
Messed with your brain naming those two ballet moves, no?
Loved Pro Wrestling back in those days.... but what I miss most today are the weekly boxing matches we watched back then. My Dad and I never missed a night of boxing. - JamesJM
