The Tolos Brothers (Chris and John) were a heel Tag Team from the 1950’s and 60’s. These Greek brothers weren’t twins, but they sure looked similar with their masculine physiques, buzzed hair, and no-nonsense expressions. Their brutal tactics caused plenty of riots when the outraged crowd couldn’t stand to watch any more of their dirty cheating.
This Tag Team squash job that I recently saw on YouTube illustrates their cruel attitudes and underhanded tactics. I’ve shaded their trunks in green in these images so you can tell which wrestlers are John and Chris Tolos.
I’m not sure why, but I find it exciting when Tag Teams use two-against-one bullshit in the corner. The more often, the better. Rather than a few instances of corner abuse, how about a dozen or more? The Tolos boys deliver the dirty without restraint.
I prefer my heel Tag Teams to be mother-fuckers. I like when one member of the Tag Team distracts the ref, so his partner can molest and practically rape their victim behind the ref’s back.
Never you mind that it is unbelievable for the official to be distracted so easily and so often. For me, Tag Team cheating is like a good blow job — I just want it to go on and on and never stop.
So they repeatedly choke their victim, pull his hair, kick him in the back, punch him, and I suppose even apply some wrestling holds on him. They waste their opponents with total disdain and a complete lack of compassion. Nice.
Modern heel Tag Teams may look pretty and talk slick on the stick, but the old-school baddies were so deliciously evil and over the top with their brutality — it was a beautiful thing.
The Tolos brothers are way ahead of their time, even slamming their victim onto a table and breaking it. This is probably the first example of a table spot in wrestling history.
So I want to thank the person who dusted off this old match — the epitome of a classic sadistic Tag Team squash job — and posted it on YouTube. Thanks a lot SmellyDookie — you’ve got great taste in rassling (but your YouTube user name is pretty horrible.)
