Alright, so you wanna know about this Dennis Stamp fella, huh? Well, let me tell ya, I don’t know much about wrestlin’, but I heard some things. This Dennis guy, he was a wrassler, you know, one of them fellas who wear them tight pants and jump around in the ring.
Dennis Stamp, the Wrassler
Now, they say he was born back in 1946, which is a long, long time ago. I was just a young’un back then. He wrestled for a long time, mostly in the 70s and 80s. They called it the “territory era,” whatever that means. He worked for somethin’ called the AWA and NWA. Sounds fancy, but I bet it was just a bunch of sweaty men smackin’ each other.

- Worked for AWA and NWA
This Dennis, he wasn’t no big-time star like that Hulk Hogan fella, but he wrestled a lot. He went all over the place, wrasslin’ in different towns and cities. I reckon he made a livin’ doin’ it, but I don’t know how much money them wrasslers made back then. Probably not as much as them fellas today, with their fancy cars and big houses.
Beyond the Mat and All That Jazz
Now, some folks, they remember Dennis from a movie called “Beyond the Mat.” I never seen it myself, movies ain’t really my thing. But I heard it showed what it was really like to be a wrassler, not all the glitz and glamour you see on TV. It showed the hard parts, the pain, the travel, and all that. Sounds like a tough life, if you ask me.
From what I hear, this Dennis fella, he was a pretty honest guy in that movie. He talked about how hard it was to make a livin’ as a wrassler, how sometimes you didn’t know where your next paycheck was comin’ from. He wasn’t afraid to show the tough times, and that’s somethin’ I respect. Life ain’t always easy, you know?
Dennis Stamp, the Referee
Later on, after he stopped wrasslin’ so much, Dennis became a referee. You know, the fella in the ring who makes sure everyone’s playin’ by the rules. I guess he got tired of gettin’ beat up and decided to be the one tellin’ other folks what to do. That’s what happens when you get old, you start tellin’ everyone else how to live their lives!
Dennis Stamp’s Legacy
So, this Dennis Stamp, he might not be a household name, but he was a wrassler, a referee, and by all accounts, a decent fella. He worked hard, he entertained folks, and he showed the world what it was really like to be a wrassler, the good and the bad. He passed away in 2017, which is a shame. But I reckon he left his mark on the wrasslin’ world, even if it wasn’t a real big one.
Final Thoughts
I don’t know much about wrasslin’, like I said, but it seems to me like these wrasslers, they’re tough folks. They put their bodies on the line every night for our entertainment. And Dennis Stamp, he was one of them. He wasn’t the flashiest or the most famous, but he was there, doin’ his thing. And that’s somethin’ to be proud of, I reckon.
So, there you have it, that’s all I know about Dennis Stamp. He was a wrassler, a referee, and a fella who wasn’t afraid to show the world the truth about his life. And that, in my book, makes him a pretty good guy.
