Vince WISHES he could get a reaction like this from the fans. Vince REALLY needs to do something different, he's

really beant on milking "sports entertainment" to the hilt. Titles use to mean something but, now its a joke.

All excellent points, althought to be fair, Joe did originally try to push Tully as the top babyface of his Southwest promotion but eventually discovered thatTully was just much better as a heel.

Oh man, they cut the bit where the ref bladed Blanchard when he got put in the claw.

@fabian4evrfabian He was very good @ commentating. He could've even kept the territories but, newp, he wanted to kill other territories/promotions.

Of the wrestlers involved in this match, only Joe Blanchard is still alive. Duke Keomuka does a brief run-in near the end of the match - like Fritz and Joe, he also had a son who became a pro wrestler (Pat Tanaka). Fritz, Duke and Waldo Von Erich are all no longer with us. Maybe modern wrestling should take a page from these guys' books and slow down the pace of the matches a bit. Maybe the guys would have longer careers if they did.

Was Joe running Southwest Championship Wrestling when this took place?

in my WWE Raw vs Smackdown game for PS3 I created Both Fritz Von Erich and Joe Blanchard as well as Dory Funk Sr. Bob Orton Sr. Grizzly Smith Black Jack Mulligan Stu Hart Gory Guerrero Angelo Poffo Carlso Colon sr. Rocky Johnson Warren Bockwinkel Jerry Jarrett Eddie Graham Johnny Valentine thats all I created for now

[JonathanVonErich]

Man...Fritz was such a tough wrestler. The great Dory Funk jr. said that Fritz's style was simply to beat the hell of somebody, and Gary Hart once said that Fritz was really hard to work with, that Fritz will beat you down really quickly if you didn't paid attention.

@youdude1121 You know what? You started all this foolishness by being the stupid little bitch you are. You know damn well you wouldn't talk this shit in person, so shut'chur fuckin' piehole. I'll even give you the last word, because if you can compare this swill you watch today to the real shit of yesteryear(ie: this video), then MY word is the only one that counts.
