(From today's update on the Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online website):
I know this is kind of a current events post -- and therefore doesn't really fit with the classics board, other than the fact that only fans of classic wrestling care about some of those names.
BUT... the reason I am bringing this to everyone's attention is not just because they're honoring Terry Funk. There's another special occasion coming out of all of this.
Ladies and gentleman: Dennis Stamp finally got booked!

Isn't Dennis Stamp the wrestler from Texas that Terry Funk wanted to referee his retirement match?

You're referring to 'Beyond The Mat' I presume, 'cos that's the only place I knew of Dennis Stamp as well...He was hilarious, wasn't he? ;D Apter's good value, as is New Jack and Foley...Thanks for posting. |

If you watch the old AWA reruns on ESPN Classic, you'll also see Dennis Stamp pop up as a jobber on that show, every now and then. I've caught several of his TV matches on that show, and he actually wasn't too bad... even though he was used as a jobber, you could tell he knew his way around the ring and had good fundamental skills. |

'Beyond The Mat' indeed, such a great movie. I would mark for a second release of something like that movie. |

What held Dennis Stamp back? truly i think it was his marketability. he wasn't a larger guy, had a bland look to him and didn't have many friends high in the business. pretty depressing story he has tbh. |

That is a good point. He was a tiny guy, but I mean with a name like Dennis Stamp how could one not become a superstar  It kind of is depressing though, it seemed like he had quite the passion for the business. |
