It shows Cowboy Bill Watts kneeling over Bruno Sammartino and, if I recall correctly, is from the late 1960s/early1970s. As a precocious youngster, I had an issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated and these pictures of Bruno and Bill stirred something in me, something I could not identify till I reached my teens. What was it about the images of these two burly, barely-dressed he-men battling each other that was so fascinating to me? Till this day, I still don't know how, at the tender age of 6 or 7, I became obsessed with wrestlers and wrestling. I'll admit that there were times in my life when I wished I could have been more "normal," but I've learned to accept my particular brand of "kink." So thanks Bruno and Cowboy Bill for making my life a little less ordinary. Here are pics of Cowboy Bill at his prime; watch him in a 1965 match against Tomas Marin. If you would like to know what he's been up to these days, check out his website.
