In the year of my birth, 1956, retired boxing champion Joe Louis made his Professional Wrestling debut against Cowboy Rocky Lee in Washington DC.

Louis never did reach the heights in the wrestling game that the Tremendous Primo Carnera did.

 
I was born in 1962:

  • The New York Mets join the National League
