1969

@Brandon-E, good call, I still prefer Johnny V/Curry, but it is close. People forget that at one time Giant Baba could fucking go, and Dick Beyer was the perfect opponent to get the best out of him and really make him look like a monster. Of course, Baba's biggest problem was playing babyface when he was so much bigger than his opponents, same sort of problem WWF had with Hogan, when they had to go with "monster of the month" as no one on the regular roster would seem a credible opponent unless it was someone like Studd or Bundy. There's a lot of gems to be found in Baba matches from that time period, he certainly wasn't the big stiff that most of us that got into puro in the 1980s remember from tape trading days.
