While hunting the loft for my old wrestling autograph today I remembered as a kid having a brief conversation with Bobby Barnes (another wrestler who was friendly and happy to chat) and it got me thinking what a great wrestler he was and how in my opinion he should have been a champion. I always felt he was under used and I would have loved to see him fight some of the greats like Finley, Jones, Kung fu, Rocco etc (have I mentioned I like Rocco ...)
Did he ever face any of these guys and also why was he never a champion????
Bet Adrian has a poster or three ;)
I seem to remember someone on here not too long ago saying they were trying to get Bobby to give an interview but sadly he wasn't interested. Such a shame as even if it was a long time ago, he left a huge legacy, it was a big part of his life and I'm sure he has lots of great tales. I've also heard he's done OK for himself since then and become a wealthy man so good luck to him, I wish him nothing but good things.
