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?

[tim58hsv]

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.

RIP Rick Rude.... A great talent who should have been a WWF champ.

The Super Destroyer, Scott "Hog" Irwin, Yukon Eric, he's well remembered with the Old School.

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...

what yr was this

[japanpro1]

a younger rude, already so hot.

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.

@rosario508 Another case of one too many for "WILD BILL"!

jimi hart and the long riders in georgia!

[RocnessMonstar]

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