Exactly why I am writing these extensive feayures and cases for Byers and Ellis. Video is a non factor in both cases. Dont look at the video, look at the facts as I have presented them in the case. I know most voters will not or do not have the time to do this deep research when they are so used to YouTube being their measuring stick. This year I have presented factual case studies on Roy Welch, June Byers and Cowboy Bob Ellis because their careers were not documented on video. Especially in Roy's case because most of his major accomplishments were not in the ring but in the office. Byers had a 20 years run where she was the primary female main eventer on cards consistently and even though we dont have attendance and dollar figures for her, we know promoters would not be booking anyone that high on the card that consistently if they were not drawing crowds and selling tickets In Bob Ellis' case, if we only took his career in the 1960s where we do have dollars and attendacne especially Madison Square Garden against Rogers, thats enough for me to vote for him.
He was huge in Tucson in the late 60’s early 70’s. One of the guys they brought in to try and control the Dupree Brothers. Luis Martinez was big in Tucson also
Saw a clip of his against Heenan in the AWA, which was terrible. Saw him in the IWA, where he was passable, better in the ring, but less over than his partner, Tex Mckenzie. I understand they were two instances at the end of his long career, a decade past his peak. That said, it is hard for anyone to see what survives on tape and concur with him as a HOfer.
I always love reading you comments about Arizona, a territory we just dont have much on
