Dick Hutton
Richard "Dick" Hutton (October 4, 1923 – November 24, 2003) was an American amateur and professional wrestler. He was a three-time NCAA champion and, as a professional, held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Early life
Hutton was born in Amarillo, Texas to Bailey and Gladys Hutton. He had one brother, Jerald Hutton. He moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma later on. Dick joined the army and was a veteran of World War II. He attended Oklahoma A&M and went on to Oklahoma State University.
While at Oklahoma State University he was the NCAA wrestling champion three times, in 1947, 1948 and 1950 (In 1949 he lost in the finals to Verne Gagne, future professional wrestler).
Also while at Oklahoma State University, he went to the 1948 Olympic Games. He came 5th in Freestyle wrestling.
Professional wrestling career
Hutton made his debut in 1952, in a loss against Bill Longson. Hutton left Tulsa, as it was primarily a territory for light-heavyweight wrestlers, and went to Texas.
While in Columbus, Ohio, in a territory run by Al Haft, Hutton would wrestle members of the audience. Beating Hutton would've earned the fan $1,000. No one ever won.
Dog Town
Somebody told me there is a place to go
Where they ain't out to put you down
Everyone's listening to the radio
Where the street belongs to the young
And the night belongs to no one
In Dog Town, In Dog Town
It's all right
They'll be playing all night
It's all right
Gonna hold you tight
How much longer can I wear my worn out shoes?
How much higher till I come down
Take me somewhere I can shake these blues
Where the street belongs to the young
And the night belongs to no one
