no wonder this didnt last... its all CWA guys.. Jarrett didn't need TBS... and the rest of the guys would just end up working for Crockett not needing Jarrett.... but I am wondering why I don't remember this I watched GA wrestling all the time in that time period... must have been over b4 it got started...
Ox Baker was infamous for being Ray Gunkel's final opponent in August 1972 in Savannah, GA. Gunkel had just gotten Georgia Championship Wrestling onto a station in Atlanta, WTCG, which was owned by a young entrepeneuer named Ted Turner. That station would later become a top rated cable station, WTBS, on December 17, 1976. And the rest is history.
Seeing Jimmy Hart like this, it makes me think that Jim Corenette was influenced heavily by him. He could shoot better than most. And the Irwins, wow, talk about influential! Most of these so called WWE "superstars" should watch these vids
Aahhh..... memories..... a wrestling match that didnt include : a leprechaun under the ring, a barbed wire baseball bat,or a flaming table ! Great stuff .... keep up the good work .
The old stuff always looked more realistic because you didn't have matches involving someone doing a 3/4 body flip off a ladder through a person (not moving, of course) who is perfectly positioned on a ladder. You could actually win a match with a sunset flip or an abdominal stretch.

I meant to say "positioned on a table".

No, i have seen it done on ladders too ! I think it was in a Lou Thesz vs. Buddy Rogers. (sarcasm)

You're absolutely right. The danger of applying a move to your best friend is gone. Everything's a highspot. No psychology.

Oops just caught it. At the 3:15 mark, Gordon say's Rude showed Hart which way to go, meaning that Rude and Hart parted ways.

Was Rick a face or heel here?
zaius316 4 years ago
He seems to be a face, which is odd since Jimmy Hart had been promoting Rude previously. Rude shows up and Jimmy's not at ringside either. Very odd.
