[Phantom Lord]

So was Bockwinkle working as a face as AWA Champion on that Omaha show? That just seems like a random title match even for the AWA.

[Stuttsy]

Awesome idea for a topic. Only two that I could dig up. Anyone know of a good resource for Japanese/Mexican results from 1983?

There's a 21 match WWF taping with no match exceeding 5 minutes, the longest being a Steve Lombardi job.

 

The famous Tiger Mask (Ken Peale) wrestled in Chomte, Kansas.

 

Rip Oliver took Billy Jack's NWA Pacific Northwest hw title in Seattle.

 

A fairly uninspiring NBW show in Winnipeg.

 

There was a super awesome & stacked CWF show at Miami Beach.

 

A classic Von Erichs vs. Freebirds main event in Lawton, OK.

 

Tully lost a main event in Hubbard, OH.

 

 

That Winnipeg show sounds like the most indy thing we've come across yet. Seriously, I don't recognize any of those dudes offhand and my memory is insane when it comes to stuff like this.

So was Bockwinkle working as a face as AWA Champion on that Omaha show? That just seems like a random title match even for the AWA.

Also Baby Hash vs. Baby Chono!

[Pete]

Crusher El Cahun???

[cool arrow]

Crusher El Cahun???

 

Can't find anything about him, but I was surprised to see Gama Singh there; apparently he worked a bunch of WWF shows in '84 and '85.  Even beat some Ron Shaw/Johnny Rodz-level guys.

[Pete]

 

Crusher El Cahun???

Pretty sure they also used him for overseas tours when they went to the Middle East, Australia etc. A friendlier face for the locals.

[Matt D]

What's the single best looking match that anyone's come up with so far? 

[Pete]

Found an ad for the Memphis card on my birthday. 

 

[Log]

What's the single best looking match that anyone's come up with so far? 

I think the Murdoch vs Blackwell match on mine looks pretty sweet.

[Pete]

Dope.

Dope. But C&P kind of sucks, so http://www.wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=shows&sort=datum&jahr=1983&monat=11&ansicht=&tag=16 Tully lost a main event in Hubbard, OH.

 On a SOUTHWEST show, no less.

 And to Luke Williams, of all people. Why was SWCW running in Ohio, anyway?

They had something of a national profile since their TV was on USA, so they did a couple of tours on the Northeast that year. Pretty sure this was after they lost the USA slot so I can't imagine them drawing too well.
