Magazine coverage of a battle between Nature Boy Buddy Rogers and Killer Kowalski from Montreal, Quebec – November 1962
Killer Kowalski dominates his match against Buddy rogers from the beginning. He’s using every legal and illegal trick in his vast repertoire. In a matter of minutes Rogers has become a bloody mess.
Kowalski keeps battering away at Rogers until the referee finally ends the punishment. But Rogers, whose pride is hurt much more than his body, isn’t about to let it stop at this.
Buddy has grabbed a chair and is assaulting Kowalski with it! Killer is down, but Rogers refuses to stop. Men are pouring into the ring, trying to pull Rogers off the fallen wrestler!
Rogers is being dragged away from his victim but Kowalski isn’t moving. The referee has called for the stretcher and they’re holding Rogers back as Kowalski is carried to the waiting ambulance.
