Roman Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I just finished that match and was about to post it here. Tenta seems to be working it in a WWF style, which is a shame, but the others are great -- especially Vader and Albright. Loved that match.

MADCAP Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 This is a pretty good episode, which features the debut of the Freebirds on WTBS as Michael lays it down on the introduction of all the members late-70's Southern Jive. Also, witness Gordy try to cripple young Tim Horner with a prototype-power bomb. Then you have Mr. Saito giving a fake apology to Steve Keirn for injuring him and then facing off against one of the "employees at the hospital" to take Saito on in his $5000 challenge. I've never seen Saito be that heavy in showing his amateur skills, but by gawd, is he a fucking beast on the mat! I'm gonna be looking up some of his early matches today. Harley Race is up next doing tv match against enhancement talent, and while it's a standard Race squash, it also reminds me that wrestling doesn't have to be fast-paced all the time. There was a simplicity and a brutality to everything he was doing and it was awesome. Freebirds show up again, and this time it's Hayes and Roberts. Hey look! Roberts gives a guy a Destiny Hammer!!! Who knew the 'Birds were so ahead of their time? Austin Idol closes this out defending the GA Heavyweight title, with Tony Atlas on commentary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul sosnowski Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Can anyone familiar with GCW possibly explain to me how one month after the Last Battle of Atlanta, that TOMMY RICH and BUZZ SAWYER were teaming together in the main event??? Is this when Sawyer turned because of his brother Brett Wayne?

clintthecrippler Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I miss ECW, but goddamn do I not miss ECW crowds when they are at their worst and lowest points. Racist chants of "More Fried Rice!" and "Hiroshima!", chants of "The ref's a fat fuck!" but the minute Tiger Mask and Sasuke start flying through the air they chant "ECW!" It's like the wrestling equivalent of a white sports fan that constantly calls black people the N-word but then cheers when a black football player wins the game for their team.

Once a worker turns face, then all is forgiven. Hell, Ole Anderson and Wahoo teamed up as did the Masked Superstar with Paul Jones & Wrestling II.

paul sosnowski Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I understand that, but I am not extremely familiar with the history of GCW. Can someone explain Buzz's face turn? Like I said, i know it had something to do with his brother. Did Tommy and Buzz make peace on TV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
