Description

This is a black and white film negative of a wrestling match between Dick "Bulldog" Brower and Man Mountain Campbell on June 22, 1961. Man Mountain Campbell is standing over Brower in the corner of the ring and is choking him as Brower is down on one knee. The referee is attempting to separate the two. Dick Brower (whose real name was Richard Gland) was born in Delaware, and wrestled from the late 1950's to the late 1980's. He worked with the promoter Stu Hart in Calgary before moving to Toronto in 1961. Man Mountain Campbell's real name was Carl Dennis Campbell, Sr. He also went by the names "Big Boy," "Big Luke," and "The Kentuckian."
