Talk:International Amphitheatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Amphitheatre was home to Professional Wrestling. The all time greats such as Dick "The Bruiser", "The Crusher", "The Blackjacks" and "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan. The American Wrestling Association was the State of Illinois sanctioned promotion. The television promoter was a classic in Bob Luce. AWA Champion Verne Gagne and Dick "The Bruiser", along with Scientific Wrestler Wilbur Snyder were the behind the scenes promoters. On the night of the matches, fans would pack the seats to watch their favorites, and chant "We want blood!) Prior to the evenings card, fans would go to the Hall of Fame to watch classic wrestling videos and an array of wrestling photos. It was located in the NW corner of the building. Fans could also enjoy a steak dinner with Bob Luce and meet "Yukon Moose" Cholak, or Golden Boy Paul Christy in the Stockyard Inn.
