This is one of or favorite images from the late 1970s in the Stanley Weston ("Apter") magazines. NWA World Heavyweight champion Harley Race stands with "Rocky" franchise star Sylvester Stallone. Sly looks like he's ready to take on the champ right then. He knows a good lookin' championship trophy when he sees one.
There are certain photos from the old wrestling magazines that have always stuck out in my mind. This is one of them.
The photo is thought to have been taken in Houston, TX in 1978.
