Mansfield MIGHT have thrown a thumb to the throat...I think..i understand the gimmick of taping his thumb as a primary weapon.. ffs.. mansfields good friend, Terry Bam Bam Gordy threw just ONE ( Oritental spike) and that was it..lol
This is the first time I had ever seen Eddy Mansfield wrestle. I would have loved to have seen an Ivan Putski leg workout. I am sure with his height, he could push some phenomenal poundage in the gym
Did they ever do an angle with that thing at the beginning by having a "fan" from the crowd punch Putski and when it had no effect, the "fan" started kicking him and lay him out and become a heel star? Seems like it would be a decent way for a new heel to debut in the territory and feud with Ivan.
At 1:35 some asshole starts yelling "CHOKE!! CHOKE!!" No shit dummy, it's a choke. Then that asshole's back again at 3:29. Mansfield's accomplice in that 20/20 "expose" show, Jim Wilson, died in 2009 (unless I'm mistaken). The ref is Eric Mannheimer. (Jeez, do you think he's German?)
This is great!!! Hey, remember the hair vs. hair match Eddie Mansfield had with Scott Casey not too long after this match? SW Championship Wrestling was great. Used to go see them all the time when they came to Victoria, TX.

I loved Southwest Championship Wrestling. It was Joe Blanchard's promotion, Tully's dad. This is where Tully developed himself.

Eddie Mansfield was the one who revealed secrets of the trade on that famous 20/20 episode in 1985.
