Sounds like Ricky's booking in the 2 tournaments was not too creative

A Toronto Spanish paper for the Japanese themed card this is out of one of TRJ pubs

Interesting to note that at one point (maybe it is still out there) YOutube had the Steamboat/Youngblood vs Stevens/Snuka match posted.

Also not too long ago the Baba/Tsuruta vs Brody/Irwin match is now posted. Just do a search under Bruiser brody toronto. The beginning is absolutely great as Frank Tunney & Jim Crockett are in the ring together and Tunney reads the proclamation. I had never seen Tunney on TV before, let alone him actually speaking. Also I think (not certain) this was Brody, Baba, Tsuruta and Irwin's only appearances in Toronto. Someone correct me if I am mistaken. You will love this match.

If anyone knows of whether this entire card is available (e.g. on Youtube or on DVD), please let meknow as I would love to have the whole show. Please advise.

Thanks

July 10 1966 , Whipper puts his career up against the Yankees masks , gee wonder who won this one ! will have the follow up bout as the next entry

If anything in particular you want to see please ask, most of us have or have seen the 70's and 80's stuff so this thread is mostly the older or oddball stuff that wouldn't go on the MLWP site

Mar 21 1963 , this is the card after the Thesz Bruno bout
Kiniski had teamed with Bruno prior and would flip around a bit over these years, back feuding with Whipper shortly after this bout
