From a 1979 episode of NWA World Wide Wrestling from WRAL-TV Studios in Raleigh, NC. Rich Landrum is the host: United States Heavyweight Champion, Ricky Steamboat, faces the challenge of tough veteran, Swede Hansen.
I grew up in NC as a child living about an hr from Raleigh. I watched this religiously as a 7 yr old boy. And here I am again over 30 yrs later. NWA is just the best! I've been throwing up all day but now I feel better that I get to watch this!
@Wayneman117 Major feuds with Randy Savage and Don Muraco, stealing the show at Wrestlemania 3, Intercontinental Champion, yeah he accomplished nothing in the WWF. :P

I think Steamboat's worse career move was going to the WWF...there is was just another fish in a huge sea.

Back in the late 60's, and early 70's Rip Hawk and Swede hanson were one of the top tag teams in the country.
