Cow Palace Wrestling In A Bygone Era
South San Francisco, CA - July 17th, 2012
Cow Palace wrestling in a bygone era by Mark Pritchard August 21st, 2008 @ 8:56 AM During the 1960s, professional wrestling was huge at the Cow Palace. There are vast websites devoted to the phenomenon, which was part of a circuit that included Sacramento. Now a new book, When I Shot Good & Bad Guys Who Wrestled at the Cow Palace, commemorates the era. The book collects photographer Jim Fitzpatrick’s work documenting the bouts held by promoter Roy Shire, a former wrestler who became the biggest wrestling promoter in Northern California in the 1960s (scroll down in that page to “The Beginning” for Shire’s story). You can order When I Shot Good and Bad Guys here. shareshare Tags: 1960s, Cow Palace, professionalWrestling, RoyShire, wrestling Posted in Books, Cults, Entertainment | 1 Comment »

Wrestling News Center Your Online Source For Local And National Pro Wrestling News Sunday, August 24, 2008 San Francisco's Cow Palace Wrestling Photo Book Wrestling and photography have been synonymous with each other since the inception of portable cameras. Wrestling and San Francisco’s famed Cow Palace have also been linked since the grand old building's inception in the 1950s.
