Ali Baba vs Red Brannigan wrestling match 10/11/39



See Classic Wrestling From Film Vol II for my latest DVD available for purchase.

This is a transfer I made from my 16mm sound film called Modern Gladiators.  This match features Ali Baba (former World Heaveyweight Champion) vs Red Brannigan.  Baba won the title from Dick Shikat after Shikat's famous shoot on Danno O'Mahoney.  From Steve Yohe's Ali Baba Record Book, this match is from 10/11/1939 in Los Angeles.
