Larry in Illinois will be happy to see an "action shot" today.
Brian says the guy on top is Jim Atkinson and Cambria says the other guy is Ed Rasmussen from the film BoweryPhotographer filmed in 1965 but was probably never released. Thanks, guys!
Ahh! Tattoos can be VERY helpful at times! I reckon the guy on top is Jim Atkinson. Jim has a stylised heart tattoo on his left upper arm. He also has what looks like 'Jim' on his lower left arm but that's not visible here. As you can see from this photo he has a pretty significant tattoo on his upper right arm too, but the photographers appear to have deliberately hidden that one. This is the 5th photo I have of Jim and ALL of them don't show his right arm properly.
I'll do some jiggery-pokery on the image to try and ID the other dude, who also looks familiar, but I suffer from blond-blindness... 😆
JIM ATKINSON on top of ED RASMUSSEN for Bob Mizer at AMG in the 1965 AMG b&w short Posing Pouch Wrestling film "Bowery Photographer". The photo is AMG catalog # RF15-AH. Bob Mizer hated this film and said it had poor Wresatling and was ridiculous. I am sending you proof James.
