didn't meet Andre the Midget. I was at a wrestling show circa 1970 and I was
seated next to where the wrestlers came out for the matchs. Andre came out
accompanied by Fred Blassie, a good guy in the L.A. area and Blassie looked very
short next to Andre. There was a wrestling fued going on between Andre and
Blassie and John "The Golden Greek" Tolos and whoever his partner was. Andre
also towered over the other wrestlers too.To those who know the L.A.
area, I used to go to the Oympic Auditorium in downtown L.A. for if I remember
correctly, Wednesday night wrestling shows, Thursday night boxing, and special
events involving either on Friday or Saturday nights. The also had Roller Derby
on Sundays (I think) but I never went to those shows.I also went to some
of the television tapings of wrestling at the KCOP studio, channel 13. Some of
the wrestlers who used to perform at those shows and at the Olympic also
included, Rocky "Soul Man" Johnson (the Rock's father), Earl Mr. Universe
Maynard, Victor Rivera, Black Gordman and the Great Goliath, among many others.
I remember one time they had a match billed as "bite verses bite" between
Goliath, who loved to chew on his opponents' foreheads and Blassie, also famous
for taking a chunk with his teeth out of people in the ring, WHAT FUN!|

Muhammad Ali' or Coolidge, Kent ? And Lennox Lewis ?Is the Carver High
School close to the La Habraarea where you live ?|
|6/17/04 06:36:46 AM|Kent|La Habra, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|I have never
met Ali. I have spoken on the phone with Lennox Lewis, Kirk Johnson, both
Klitschko brothers, and John Ruiz.I have met James Toney, Vassiliy Jirov
and Chris Byrd. I have spoken one on one to all of them in person as well as I
asked questions live during a press conference with Evander Holyfield. There
are others as well who I can't think of at the moment.Of course, I have
also spoken to all four Quarry brothers. Can't forget the Quarrys can we?|

do you think of Dominick Guinn? Smaller guy compared to the super heavies, but
aside from the upset loss to Monte Barrett, do you think he has a good future?
I read an interview with him---sounds like a pretty together guy with a good
head on his shoulders. In the interview, he said that aside from McCline, he
doesn't think most of the super heavy bigger guys have good stamina. He thinks
smaller heavies speed and stamina is an equalizer and said he likes fighting
bigger men.He mentioned that he met Larry Holmes and was sad to report that
he forgot some of Larry's advice during his loss (the only loss on his record).
He said Holmes told him to "keep jabbing and you won't lose." Holmes apparenlty
told him he's welcome to visit anytime he's back East (Guinn is from Arkansas).

||||10|The only boxer I ever met was Mike Tyson, and seeing him in action ( at a
party ) was something I'll never forget. No, he wasn't friendly, he didn't care
who I was, but wasn't rude either. After he entered the main room at the party,
he really came out of that subdued person, amazing . I have met more than few
pro athletes here in Cleveland. If I could have met some boxers, JQ, Frazier,
Norton and Lewis would probably top the list... I like Dominick Guinn, a solid
up and coming contender not yet ready for a title fight. He proves again talent
and hard work are better than lazy size.|
