Fond memories of Little Beaver.

[dennilfloss]

And Sky Low Low. The two most famous midget wrestlers during the 60s and 70s. Those guys were really athletic and could put on quite a show. Did not need any steroids to perform either. Little Beaver evan ran along the ring rope once (he said it was pure chance he did not fall down as he made the length of the ringside) and people expected him to be able to repeat this again.

Little Beaver's last in-ring appearance was at age 52 at 1987's WrestleMania III at the Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan where he suffered a legit back injury at the hands of King Kong Bundy.

OK if nobody will cosign on this thread, I will.

Little Beaver was the shit, but half of ATOT wasn't born when he was doing his thing. WMIII was the first time I saw him wrestle, and unfortunately it was his last.

He went too hard on the Beaver.

Ward....weren't you a little hard on the Beaver last night?

Damn, I saw some pretty midget wrestling three years ago in Atlanta, during DragonCon.

Nothing like seeing a Costco size box of Lucky Charms used as a weapon in that bout.
