The Crusher, Baron Von Raschke, Larry Hennig vs The Fabulous Freebirds 

Welcome to my house, glued to the TV in LaCrosse, Wisconsin - early 70s. Loved the Baron, Ivan Putski, Superstar Billy Graham and don’t forget Larry “the Axe” Henning 💪😎

The Baron's claw was iconic. I remember seeing a kid chasing another down the street one day screaming, "The Claw!!" The Claw!!!!" "That is all the people need to know!!!" And of course he had his right hand all clawed and ready to clamp it on the other's kid's head while the poor kid was running away crying, "Mommy help!!! The claw's gonna get me!!!! ... Heeeeelp!!!!" Hilarious stuff.

Truly classic memories!

I liked the Baron as a good guy!

Props to the Freebirds. They really sold for the veterans.

In real life the Baron is a super calm, soft spoken, nice guy.

Hayes must have been a locker room heat magnet. I haven’t heard ONE former wrestler say anything good about him. A bunch have said good things about Robert’s and Gordy but not him. Very telling and I was always a Freebird fan

Classic match

Oh man zee claw hawld..

Yikes! Look at that artificial right ear on the Baron. That was a rough business....

My god, just terrible. And to this day, it continues.....
