Mid 50's, Olympic Auditorium in LA, Tricky Ricky Starr was an amazing wrestler I watched on TV with most of the ones you listed.

around my parts the sheik had a mgr named Abdullah Farouk... i remember tag teams the kangaroos , the love brothers, tiger jeet singh, flying fred curry, lorne henning (i assume he was curt's father), and others. my grandfather never knew it was fake and we'd never tell him, he'd have been too hurt. he was quite puzzled though why lorne henning never won.

Wayne, Although most of these guys were East Coast based with The Sheikh in Detroit, if I remember correctly, I got to see a lot of them at The Cow Palace in San Francisco. In those days, they would take a national tour when their act had grown stale locally and, since folks in California never saw East Coast wrestling, it was all new to us. I even saw Strongbow. Stasiac and Sammartino in Philadelphia when I was hanging around for a jobber gig. It is different today. Not better, not worse, just different.
