Let's have some fun here with this photo from the WRAL studios taken in the early to mid-sixties. Can you name all four men you see in the ring?

Matt, I am with you on the big guy Sandy Scott is slugging.I don't remember him wrestling here.He could have been just passing through the area when he did this tv show.Mike Paidousis and Johnny Heidman were also correct. Let's see if anyone else remembers the big guy.

That is right Matt.When I got that photo last week the info about Baron Scicluna threw me. I was going through some of my old programs this afternoon and found another photo of the big guy.His photo is on the rear cover of a 1964 Crockett program with several other guys that were enhancement talent here.He wrestled as Mike Valentino when he was here.I think he must have changed his name to Baron Mikel Scicluna after going to the WWWF. I believe I remember reading magazine articles that he later worked main events against Bruno Sammartino.
