Black Boot Wrestling is the term I use to describe the style of wrestling
that you would most associate with the 50’s and 60’s. Although, with Black
Boot Wrestling today, you will see even more wrestling. In my wrestling career, I always tried to emphasize “wrestling” and like most wrestlers
before me that used this style, I wore black boots, hence the name. A Black
Boot Wrestler can wrestle and perform. The key is to entertain with “wrestling." The best Black Boot Wrestler is able to walk the fine line
between competition and performance, and be successful. Professional
wrestlers wrestle for money, so wrestling will always change for better or
worse in whatever ways needed to bring in the paying spectator. However, as
long as “wrestling” is on the marquee, there will always be room for “wrestlers." After all, no one can deny a legitimate wrestling hold. The
featured holds on this website will serve to familiarize us with some of
the effective holds of the past: the holds of a “Black Boot Wrestler."
