Beef on Boylston
By adamg on Tue, 04/02/2013 - 8:03am
Leslie Jones captured wrestler Yukon Eric cooling off on July 30, 1950 during a stay at the Hotel Touraine, at Boylston and Tremont streets (the building still stands, it's directly across Boylston from the Masonic building).
During the same visit, a promoter let Brockton's own Rocky Marciano and wrestler Don Eagle get a peek at his pecs:

"While there, a promoter let Brockton's own Rocky Marciano and wrestler Don Eagle get a peek at his pecs:"
Or is anybody else getting a kick out of the placement of this story above the "Keep Your Hands to Yourself, Creep" piece?
Oh!
Yeah, especially that second photo: "Try this, creep, and you're dead meat."
Always the Champ
And Rocky, at 46, lived the longest. true to form, both wrestlers were dead at 40.
Rocky is skinny
Eric found the horse steroid gun, and the Rock looks like about 170# wet, did he get some pharmaceutical advice from the Gold Rush boy Eric or what?
