The Unpublished Photo Thread
Before everything was streamed and digitally posted, all we had were the magazines and relatively few photos made it to publication. I figured it would be cool to have a thread where we could share unpublished pics. Pre-digital age so we're talking about scanned film photos for this entry of the 1997 Night of Champions.

2nd time this happened to me where it took me more than 5 minutes to edit the pics for better viewing (note to self, post pics separately)...

Great thread, Puma.
But the pics in your second post aren't appearing for me. :-(

Glad you enjoyed those, Ibarramedia. Thought I would hit another show.
This time we'll take you back the those thrilling days of yesteryear (extra points if anyone can identify that very appropriate reference) to the 1989 Night of Champions. I'll show the placings at the end for any interested in doing their own judging.
Here we have a comparison of Vince Taylor, Tom Terwilliger and a certain Trainer of Champions (yes, it's Charles Glass!). Tom was a New Yorker and got plenty of applause in his home state.

Not sure of the dude on the left but Al Beckles was doing his thang here a well proportion Bob Paris is hitting a shot as John Defendis looks on perhaps saying, "This is supposed to be the relaxed round, Bob!"

An early 202 class? No it's Canada's Steve Brisbois versus the original Blond Myth, Vince Comerford (the pic shows the proportions that earned him that nickname). Vince's name came up in a recent HMR and he was a past guest which prompted me re-visiting this contest for the thread.

Into the mandatories and Paris and Comerford square off (with Vince apparently pulling the old trick of taking a few steps forward as he's nearly a foot shorter than Bob).

Can't believe I didn't take more pics of legendary (but forgotten) Bob Birdsong (left). Here with Nimrod King and Comerford.

Here's where my earlier reference comes in. The night of the Champions always endeavored to go beyond the entertainment value of your typical pro show. Here we have the Wild West opening of the night show. I believe that's Vince Taylor and Nimrod King as blacksmiths....
