Did You Know... The Ladder Match

[Serujuunin]

Was invented in Canada? I didn't catch who first concocted it, but it was part of Christian's preamble on the Ladder Match 2: Crash and Burn DVD.

Yup. Not sure whos brainchild it was, but it was first done in Stampede in the early 70's.

Well I'm not surprised that you knew this.

The more I learn about the role Canada, and Calgary in particular has had in wrestling, the more proud I am to be Calgarian.

Clearly not proud enough, as you didn't say it right: You forgot your dramatic pause.

Seru, you need to spend more time reading random wrestling articles on Wikipedia instead of wasting them on something silly like a social life.

I actually went to wikipedia for confirmation after reading this thread.

Dan Kroffat wrestled in the 70's? Doug Furnas' partner?

I don't even have a social life. I sit on my computer all day watching wrestling and doing homework, or else working. XP My social life consists of taking the bus home from school with my best friend and talking about wrestling. I keep trying to get her on the forum but she won't do it.

WIN! Ha, one for Seru! *dances*
