History

  • Wrestling at the Baltimore Arena: I wrote a lengthy piece on the history of wrestling at The Baltimore Arena, f.k.a. Baltimore Civic Center. There is discussion of the competition between Crockett/NWA/WCW and the WWWF/WWF/WWE through the years and some great match video going back to the 1960s. Thanks to Jonathan V. Last for including it in The Triad last week.

  • Mulkeymania: Mike Mooneyham wrote Part 1 of a four-part series on the Mulkey Brothers this weekend. I went back in time to discuss their appearances at The Baltimore Arena, how much fans loved them, and included video.

Santana wrestled several times at both The Baltimore Arena and The Capital Centre. In fact, he defeated Greg “The Hammer” Valentine to regain the WWF Intercontinental Championship in Baltimore. The pair had a feud in 1984-1985, including a match where Valentine defeated Santana to take the belt in London, Ontario on September 24, 1984. Santana regained the belt on July 6, 1985 in Baltimore.

Here’s a video premiering later this month featuring Santana and Valentine. I’ll close out The Ringpost with that.
