Legends Corner: Antonino Rocca
Posted by: The Guru

Legend: Antonino "Argentina" Rocca
Years Active: 1942-1977
Titles Held: No Major Titles
Other Honors: 1995 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee, 1996 Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame Inductee
Trademark Moves: Argentine Backbreaker, Airplane Spin, Dropkick
Famous Quote: "I Will Still be Wrestling When I'm 75 Years Old and Will be Living to 150"
Memorable Feuds and Matches: The Golden Grahams, Dick the Bruiser, Buddy Rogers
Greatest Accomplishment: Becoming a pop cultural icon to the Latin American community by breaking down several barriers such as appearing on the cover of a "Superman" comic book in 1962.
Personal Memories: I remember seeing clips of him doing several acrobatic moves like slapping people with his feet and landing on his feet after dropkicks.  This proves he was truly ahead of his time.  He is also widely remembered for his involvment in the most famous/infamous riot is Madison Square Garden history along with his tag partner, Miguel Perez, and the Golden Grahams.
