I`m looking for some clips of my dad and uncle, if anyone noes where to find them. They wrestled every Fri. night in Tupelo,Ms back in the 70`s and 80`s. and in Mimphis on Sat. mornnings. They where Aaron Holt & Sammy Holt. Also went as The Tupelo Exspress.

[japanpro1]

i loved young barry.

[buttercremehonda]

Is that Les Thatcher on commentary?

[litehouse6]

@buttercremehonda Les is the one doing the intros.

[buttercremehonda]

@litehouse6 so then who was on commentary?

[Sargebri]

@buttercremehonda Yep. That is Les.

[robcas123]

was this from Knoxville?

[Lfdjake91]

OMG, Izzy Slapowitz gave the most over-the-top immitation of a Jew I have ever heard he sounded like Jerry Lewis on crack.

[Junkay2]

That was the worst bodyslam in the history! But the announcer made a valiant effort to smooth it over by saying it was a matter of Barry's great "balance" that the bodyslam was completed!

[ukteacher1971]

Wrestling lesson number1 : How to do a body slam. Cowboy Young was sick that day.

[japanpro1]

the match was a bust, but younger barry was so hot and looks awesome here. when he bulked up, he lost that great definition.

[Bigdaddyjobba]

Cowboy Young screwed up a bunch of spots in this match. The manager who was commentating had a bad accent. Sounded more like he was from the south and not another country.

Blackjack Mulligan and Ric Flair bought into this area in Knoxville right before Flair became the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Lord Alfred Hayes and his crew also wrestled here some (Nicolai Volkoff, Chris Markoff, Jimmy Valiant).

Oh my I was only 6 when Daddy was wrestling.. Glad you won Daddy.

[klac1990]

wow...this is old...Go daddy!! Cowboy Young is my father!!!

[hammermjh]

Everybody knows the REAL and BETTER Southeastern was the Pensacola-Mobile area.

[muta157]

Congradulations to Cowboy Young on this great victory. I'm not sure what Windam was so upset about, Candy was reaching up to shake his hand and it caught the rope when Windam fell over it.

BOCAT03...GREAT FOOTAGE!!!! love it...keep sending them!!!!

[RayNDeere]

Les Thatcher, a veteran wrestler and announcer, calling the match. 

[daredevilpre]

Izzy could really play the role of the hated Jew. Wonder why that never caught on???

[VancouverTVGuy]

Great early footage of Barry Windham in this clip. BTW, listening to Izzy Slapowitz on the mic, he sounds a lot like Watto from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

[Lfdjake91]

Wow, Is Barry young here. I beleive that htis os footage from the Knoxville promotion that BJ Mulligan ran briefly.

[BClarke]

Nice bodyslam, Cowboy Young.

[longwoodgator]

Geez, talk about a "blown spot" ... that screwed-up attempt at a body slam was fu**ing scary.

[tubewrestler]

I PERSONALLY LIKED THE BODY SLAM..IT GIVES THE MATCH A SENSE OF REALISM , LIKE A REAL STRUGGLE INSTEAD OF A PERFECT CHOREOGRAPHED SLAM THAT ONE EXPECTS TO SEE ALL THE TIME.

[dogcatmouse23]

Muligan look like c.M. Punk a little in this match

[T74G]

GREAT FOOTAGE!!!!

NWA 1975-1989...best wrestling ever!!

[CadillacL]

THANK YOU for showring Barr during his Mulligan Jr. days. I've kept up w/Barry in wrestling Magazines for almost his whole career. He's my all-time fav.

[samsdaddy0525]

I saw Barry break into the business in Florida in 1980. Very green but each year he got better and better. He should have been a World Champion when the title meant something.

[CadillacL]

@samsdaddy0525 SO, true! I hate that he went to WWE early in his career. If he

had been NWA champ, there's no telling

where his career would've went. Don't get me wrong, his horseman days were good but, still.

[samsdaddy0525]

I agree. I am sure he went to the then WWF with Rotundo for money and who could blame him.

But, it cost him some time away from the NWA and that hurt him.

[bocat03]

Yeah i think so.

[CadillacL]

You're quite welcome. I grew up on, mostly Mid-Sough (i'm from Shreveport, Louisiana), World-Class & Georgia. As

I sad in one post, Barry is my all-time fav.

I SO miss old-school wrestling. :)

[nyctid]

"The Jew, Izzy Slapowitz?" Did I hear that???

[slimmsayton]

@nyctid He didn't say 'the Jew'. He said 'the to do'.
