This was not from 1984. By that time Gino was in World Class, Tully was in the Mid Atlantic and SWCW was sinking fast. This is late '82.

This is wrestling at its BEST like Tully Blanchard said Gino and Tully are THE REAL DYNAMIC DUO OH YEAHHH!!!!!!!

the belts arent the best i guess the cowhide fur represents the southwestern cowboy idea.

but southwest championship was one of the best wrestling shows of all times.

some of the best wrestlers of the 80 worked there.

Wow fantastic memories, I haven't seen SCW since I was in high school and going to the matches in the old Joe & Harry Freeman coliseum and the Hemisphere Arena in San Antonio. Damn Joe you blew it SCW rocked!

now, the wwe puts a guy to wrestle and expect him to be a star, back in this time a wrestler had to work and study his craft. it took time for a guy to become a top or decent wrestler. to bad vince does not give no one that chance, thats one pf the reason's wwe sucks. the teritories were good for that. these guys developed themselves to be great.

Those were the UGLIEST belts ever in wrestling.. and that's saying a lot

[DavidFullam]

Had Hernandez followed Tully to Mid Atlantic and become a Horseman...

[melbz1266]

when tully turned on gino and hit him with the belt , the circle piece fell off . if he hit him anymore with it, the middle part would have fallen off. terrible looking belt and cheap. you couldn't even beat someone with it.

Those belts look like they were won at an International Rodeo Competition.
