[MrCarl220]

@quinnmcguee No, Jardine was the Spoiler, Super D was the late Scott Irwin

[mikster49ers]

[velvetgoldmine30]

[donaldc5166]

Imperial Margerine??? lmao!!!!

[mrhollister09]

Who were The Destroyer & Super Star?

[NAYellowjackets]

@mrhollister09 super d was scott irwin(longriders) and superstar was bill eadie who would later be the super machine and one of demolition in the wwf

[1977SOUTHERNBOY]

Georgia wrestling in 82 .It didn't get much better

[litehouse6]

Buzz was a great heel and Koloff was funny as hell.

[aitraining]

Ahhh. Love Gordon Solie's "Oh Bruhhther!"

[lakebay972]

Did you know that Buzz Sawyer was the kicker for The Dallas Cowboys in a couple of their games during the replacement season in 1987? Also, he and Troy Aikman are the only two players in Cowboys history to ever wear a #8 jersey. Aikman was drafted in 1989.

[singlewing44]

@lakebay972 actually he was the Punter, the kicker was Kerry Brady.

[bke274]

@lakebay972 .......I'm pretty sure that was Buzzy Sawyer who was the punter for the Baylor Bears in the early 80s.

[ngrant33]

@lakebay972 Sorry man, that was a different Buzz Sawyer.  The punter was from Tx. and born in '62. Our hero was from FL and born in '59. Hope I didn't burst your bubble too much.

[lakebay972]

@ngrant33 No, they're one of the same. The bio might've been altered so that people wouldn't link him to wrestling and take him more seriously.

[lakebay972]

@ngrant33 No, they're one of the same. The bio might've been altered so that people would take him seriously and not link him to wrestling.

[denzelsnipes69]

That was a great wrestling card at the Omni on November 7.

[mrknowitalllt1]

if you list the top ten feuds in wrestling history, the tommy rich, buzz swayer feud was in my opinion the no. 1 of all time. the memories of the nwa is priceless.

GOD i miss those days

[danteras23]

The Super Destroyer seems very intelligent for a guy who wears a ridiculous mask.

[deanw0rmer]

Buzz Sawyer was awesome! I loved this period when he and Koloff were running roughshod!!!

[mankind2112]

Buzz was fuckin' nuts, wish there was someone like him around today

[nettles3]

I Loved The Super Destroyer!!--That Superplex was awesome!!--the team of Masked Superstar and The Super Destroyer was the best!!

[CadillacL]

@nettles3 This IS Scott "Hog" Irwin, right?

[funkyflashman]

November 7, 1982 (Sunday) Atlanta, GA Omni Coliseum (Paul Jones (01) Promoter / Georgia Championship Wrestling) > Johnny Rich versus Buzz Sawyer > Brad Armstrong versus Ivan Koloff > Tommy Rich versus Jerry Lawler > Butch Reed versus the Super Destroyer (01) >

[funkyflashman]

Ole Anderson & Stan Hansen & Ernie Ladd versus the Iron Sheik & the Samoans (02) (Afa & Sika) > National Heavyweight Title Match: Paul Orndorff over the Masked Superstar* to win the title / Notes: Sonny King managed the Sheik and the Samoans.

[HardrockGX]

BUZZ SAWYER BABY!!! I remember this feud like it was yesterday.. I think it shortened both Sawyer & Rich's careers. At least Wildfire won the NWA title for a week long reign.

[willnchicago]

I think this Super Destroyer was Bill Irwin not Scott Irwin

[NAYellowjackets]

This is Scott Irwin.

[chuckgan]

it was Scott! Bill was #2

[dalegrow]

Actually it was Johnny Rich and that video is also one of mine.

[krypton1]

Does anyone have the episode with "Hacksaw' Butch Reed giving Johnny a gift, which was a pair of electric clipper to cut Sawyer's hair?

[mrhollister09]

Damn Buzz was such a great talent. died all too soon

[mrhollister09]

The Super Destroyer was pretty awesome

[emacdaddyfunk]

His name was Don Jardine. Was also known as The Spoiler.

[NAYellowjackets]

No. This Super Destroyer was Scott Irwin. The brother of Wild Bill Irwin. Jardine was the SD in 70's for Mid-Atlantic.

[patvilhauer]

this is gonna drive me crazy. I agree that this SD was not Jardine but this guy has too thin of a built to be Scott Hog Irwin.

[Bischoffamamia]

From what I have read it was Irwin but he does look thin

[melbz1266]

WHO WAS THE DESTROYER?

[NAYellowjackets]

Ah, the good ol' days. Rasslin sucks now.

[mistabig3]

This is when wrestling was wrestling

[tkshk1904]

CLASSIC WRESTLING..THE BEST EVER...

[brian73075]

who was hansen and anderson' mystery partner?

[Bischoffamamia]

Ernie Ladd- I think Ladd may have feuded with the Samoans in Mid South prior to this card

[Mp25DIII]

That's correct. Ernie was managing them in Mid-South (he would wear a grass skirt over his slacks), but Scandar Ackbar stole them and injured Ladd in the process. This was back when rivalries would cross promotions, which was really cool.

[phi1166]

does the wwe own the rights to these videos? i would love to see this on wwe classics

[OrigLanceR]

Loved the Super Destroyer. Great gimmick

[fryingfish]

Dalegrow, can you post some Superstar/Super D tag matches? That Sawyer/Rich footage is awesome!

[lockenjr]

I was thinking last night how Roddy piper would have went over in both world class and memphis. I think he would have ended up a great face in texas with the von erichs and a great heel in Memphis mocking lawler.
