Nemalonu, kad uzdejai gyvo Jerry Brisco, o ne Jack Brisco nuotrauka
Nors ir nesidomejau giliai to laikotarpiu, t.y. 70-aisiais, bet istirkuju pasauli paliko idomus zmogus - sekmingesnis ir talentingesnis is Brisco broliu. Kaip galejote pastebeti forume, buvau vienu metu susidomejes hookeriais is XX amziaus pradzios kaip Frank Gotch - Jack buvo, galima sakyti, jau is modernesnes PW eros, kuria nuo Gotch skyre desimtmeciai, bet, neziurint i tai, jis buvo vienas tu championu, kuris, jei prireiktu, galejo buti shooteriu. Tikras 1965 metu NCAA imtiniu championas, kuri jo eroje mazai kas (jei bendrai kasnors versle) galejo nugaleti tikrame matche - vertingas teritoriju laikotarpio championo bruozas, kuriam galima buvo patiketi NWA dirza, ir nebijoti, kad ji isdurs vienas ar kitas promoteris. Amzinas atilsis.

P.S. Pakeisiu nuotrauka.
