In the early days of television, wrestling was one of the most popular sports
on TV.
Today, it is still viewed by millions of people.
And our next guest is one of the most popular and most successful wrestlers in
the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen, please meet the world's most dangerous wrestler, Dick the
Bruiser.
Hello, Dick.
Excuse me. How do you do, Dick?
Whoa, no, wait a minute. Just have a seat over there, Dick.
You seem to be in a fine mood this morning, Dick.
I just tore the fork off your lift, I think.
Well, you've got a forkless lift and some dummy driver.
You didn't have anything to do with our phone malfunction, did you, Dick?
I ripped the cable out downstairs.
Thank you very much. Just helping out where he can, Dick the Bruiser.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure for me to have you here.
I want to, I mentioned to the audience that I have been watching you wrestle
for a long time.
You're spent...
Would you like some dip for that?
I think you're going to eat it.
You and I spent a long time from the same city, Indianapolis, Indiana, and you
still work out of there?
I work out there, but I don't work out of there.
I see. You're actually from Reno, Nevada. Is that correct?
I was a bodyguard at Harold Smith in Reno, Nevada at Harold's Club.
I went to school there, but I'm originally from Indiana.
How did you get to be the world's most dangerous wrestler? Is that a
competition they have every year?
No, it's tearing up forklifts and splicing cables with Texas.
Help me out with your history now. When did you start wrestling exactly?
I played football at Green Bay.
When would that have been?
In 1950 through 55.
And in the off-season, I went to the University of Nevada in Reno and finished
my education and also worked as Harold's personal bodyguard.
That's how I got so articulately lately.
Yeah.
Now, tell us about your wrestling style. How would you describe yourself? Are
you a scientific wrestler?
Yeah, that's right. I've got the most scientific punch, kick in the belly, tear
the toe up,
and rip out the tongue.
Mm-hmm.
Now, um...
Don't you laugh at me.
No, I'm sorry, Dick.
This kind of stuff goes great with breakfast, doesn't it?
Now, you wrestle every night of the year for 20 years, 25 years?
I wrestle about four nights a week.
Four nights a week.
As far as the planes can take me.
Yeah.
Are you like the world champion now, Dick?
I'm one of the world's champions. There's four in existence.
Four world champions.
So you're looking at one-fourth of it.
All right. I'll accept that.
Now, um, is it dangerous? Is it difficult? Are you getting hurt every night,
Dick?
I'm not getting hurt every night. My opponents get hurt every night.
I maybe get hurt when I see a pretty girl walk by and I turn my face and I get
hit in the air or something.
Yeah, yeah.
I've got 350 stitches on my face, on my head, but you can't see unless you get
down with a microscope, but you can see that I'm pretty well battered.
Uh-huh, yeah.
And, um, in fact, you're a lot prettier than I am.
Well, I don't know about that, Dick.
No.
You're a Sigma Chi, aren't you?
That's right.
I was...
I'm a Beta and we don't like Sigma Chis.
Well, good. I understand Dick has to run. Gee, we could, uh...
Uh, we got some videotape of, uh, Dick in action that we're going to show here.
Is this wrestling?
Yeah, you're...
Oh, I see.
Yes, this is wrestling, Dick.
No, the court has the other videotape now.
Look at that look on his face.
He gets hit, not only makes him stronger than tougher.
Oh, he's there on the nose.
He grabs the arms.
Oh, the arms to...
Oh!
He tries to break.
