8-Man Tag - February 18, 1982 - Clipping

Pro Wrestling Live at the Salem Grand Theater 1982 - Clipping

I only ever went to wrestling one time in Salem, at the Armory.  I don't know why we didn't go there
more often.  It's not so far, but as a kid it seemed forever away.  Even though we would go to some other towns in the summer, we only went to Salem that one time.
