Nostalgia

It was a tossup between Vincent’s and Bex as a little “kicker”. Remember older family members used to always have a couple on hand !!
Just spoke with Dr Google and both contained aspirin, phenacetin and caffeine and were a mild stimulant used regularly at that time. Eventually banned when phenacetin identified as a cause of kidney cancer.

They were called APC powders because they contained those main ingredients. My dad used to swallow Vincents powders straight out of the paper when he had a migraine. Boy they had a bitter taste.
 
Killer Kowalski, Mario Milano, Larry O'Dea, Abdullah the Butcher, Ox Baker, Killer Karl Cox, Ron Miller, Haystacks Calhoun...all great memories of a Sunday lunchtime watching World Championship wrestling.
I always wanted to look like Bulldog Brower when I grew up.
I ended up looking more like Brute Bernard......

Going back a bit further, does anyone remember the Garibaldi Bros (Leo and Gino from memory) Georgeous George and Skull Murphy?

I remember Skull Murphy.
Not too much of the others.
But do you remember Kangaroo Roy Heffernan?
