Tiny soaps, vibrating beds, Gideon bibles, wrestling - some of my best memories of the mid '70s are of motel rooms. Pals and I would check into the "Rode Way In" with a couple of six packs and watch local (Tampa, then Atlanta) wrestling on the free cable TV while stripping down to our Fruit of the Looms to wrestle. We were all Baptists so we had to get drunk (a sin) to cut loose (a bigger sin). BG East's Motel Madness series brings it all back, without the guilt.
Bass Wallace's early
motel fight with
Flying Tiger Collins turned BG East into an obsession. I suppose the '70s are to blame for my fondness for fights in enclosed, private places, such as cages, garages, wrestleshacks, and so forth. Here are some of my favorite shots from other motel room matches.
