One "old school" wrestler I didn't get to see much of back in the day is Tommy Rogers, better known as one-half of the popular 80s/90s tag team The Fantastics (with Bobby Fulton). Aside from wrestling in tag team matches, Rogers (1961-2015) also wrestled for a time in singles matches. Watch him in this match against blonde beefcake Chick Donovan.

I was fortunate to live in the South during Rogers' heyday, and he was by far the hottest man I ever saw in the ring. He was pretty but tough, suffered beautifully but knew how to dish it out as well. A classic baby face look with an edge in the ring. For most of his live matches I sat front row ringside and could hear his breathing. Hot, hot memories. Thanks for the photos.
