Old School Wrestling Photos

I have an idea for a thread......no, not about concession stands but old school pictures. People can get extra points for stuff like those old robes, or even the oldest wrestling picture ever. I found one, but I don't know how to post it. I will try. Everyone else feel free.

When I try to post the picture it says too much disk space. Anyone know how to post a picture on here. I think it could be a great thread.

I am not a 100% sure, but I'd imagine you would have to store it on the web somewhere else and then put it here. There are sites you can load images up on the web for free. Then you could like to that image information.

So this image is located here:

http://illinoiswrestling.com/2011-20..._2012_8286.jpg

You can add this image on the forum by going to the Image button above (the one with a moutain and a sun?). A lot of times you can right click the photo with your mouse and copy location or click image properties so you can copy the url location.



In keeping with the thread theme though...here is a better photo from 2003...recognize this athlete?



Or this one...



Or this one...man this team was stacked...



Here are some older photos from 2003 to 2006. I guess I need to update this page a bit to catch up on the photos I have shot.

This is "old school" but not as far back as when they rolled around on mohair or canvas mats. Anyone remember when it was more than just a singlet? These were not very comfortable!

The only good thing about the tights was it prevented mat burns on the knees.

Sure you can send me the photo and I can put it up on the web so you can post it here...it just can't be something controversial or anything...

Send me your email address via our contact us form and I'll send you my email (I don't really check messages here).

The photos are Jake Herbert, Tony Ramos, John Starcyzk, and Mike Benefiel...sorry if I butchered spelling...
