Long before "Wrestlemania" and the WWE, the top grapplers played smaller venues to more selective audiences. Such was the case with the Opera-loving Antonio "Argentina" Rocca and German-born Richard "Red" Grupe, who headlined a wrestling event at the Municipal Auditorium in Kingston, New York, on Saturday, October 22, 1955.
