Step into the ring and travel back in time to Hawaii where the roar of the crowd echoed against the lush mountains long before it became the 50th state. "Ohhh Yeahhh: History of Hawaiian Wrestling" is a riveting journey through the untold history of wrestling, spanning eras from territorial tussles to global spectacles.
Before the tides of war swept over Pearl Harbor, and before Hawaii's star adorned the American flag, the islands bore witness to a different kind of battle-a battle fought under the lights of makeshift rings. From these humble beginnings emerged the pioneers, promoters, and performers who would shape the destiny of professional wrestling in the Pacific paradise.
Meet the visionaries who orchestrated the bouts that captivated generations. Al Karasick, Ed Francis, Steve Rickard, and Peter Maivia-names that reverberated in arenas and became synonymous with the golden age of Hawaiian wrestling. These promoters, with their audacity and ingenuity, transformed wrestling into an island spectacle that transcended geographical confines.
But it's not just about the promoters; it's about the larger-than-life performers who graced the canvas with their charisma and athleticism. Lord Blears, Johnny Barend, King Curtis, Don Muraco, and Pampero Firpo-legends whose names are etched in the annals of wrestling history. Their stories, victories, and rivalries are the threads that weave together the rich tapestry of Hawaii's wrestling legacy.
In " Ohhh Yeahhh," wrestling buffs and history enthusiasts alike will be gripped by the tales of triumph and turmoil, of passion and power slams, that unfolded in the ring.
