Rip

Don't worry about the mule you just load the wagon!!!!

Quite a transition, a clean cut baby face to one of wrestling’s greatest heels ever.

Ernie has set the crowd on fire numerous times and they could go off back then and not much in the way of security either.

Billy jack was such a badass🤘🤘

Great era of wrestling I was 19 years of age when this took place. Original actikng

The Professional was brought in to put muscle on Mike Graham as the Pro could bench press 450 lbs a lot back in that era before massive steriod use

Good memories of Florida wrestling

BW have mercy ❤️❤️❤️

No one sold like Ric.

It will never be this great again 😢

What memories of cwf

Both of these Men played it perfectly. They didn't talk much and went right to battle. Wrestling was much more popular and better for a reason in the 80's.

Good to see Mike. Wish he was still with us. Bless his soul. Such an unrated talent.

Brisco had him, damn it. He had him!

Would have loved to see Kerry vs Billy Graham in an Arm Wrestling Match.

Blonde haired WILDERBEAST MAN!!! That ones MY favorite, best described that blonde tub-o-budda

This must have been about 1972

Fuller was a basketball player at the University of Miami.

Went to Verne Ganges school for wrestlers with Ken Patera, Bob bbuggers, Rick Flair and a few others. Patera said he was about q85 pounds when he started at the school but with some assistance reached about 255-250kbs Rick Flair was about 280 muscle through assistance and wanted to be 300 as he thought massive ess was the key to being great. Was told to reduce and refine skills so dropped to about 245 and the rest is history

This was a real earthquake event in the world of wrestling. Dory Funk Jr. had been a great champion. But, when Jack Brisco came on the scene, Dory was slowly converted into a blackhat (a role that never really suited him) and Jack was slowly built up as the new kid on the scene. Good days.

The Russians were a bad ass tag team then nikolai teamed up with the iron sheik.

Very good wrestling

David Von Erich is one of wrestling’s biggest whet if’s, along with Magnum T.A. and Gino Hernandez.

Very nice ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

Imagine if he did an elbow strike, now calling that painful would be an underrstatement.

Loved II

This was a great match. Wrestling will never be this good again. Thanks, Vince McMahon, for ruining, and forever changing, the world of professional wrestling.

This was the last good year of CWF. When Dusty left it went downhill. His fued with Kevin Sullivan in the early 80's was legendary. I used to go to the Auditorium in WPB on Monday nights. Caught a few matches with my cousins in Lakeland too.

Classic CWF! Awesome!!! #80s!!

Scott McGee has no promo ability

Is nobody going to acknowledge the badass bass solo at the end?! That sounds like Flea, but I could be wrong. Either way. That bass solo is real; and worthy of recognition, too!

Great to see these early 1970s CWF ptograms as I was in mycearly 29 licving in FL.

Good old days!

Ernie Ladd cost Manny his title

No wrestlers should put they're hands on any sports announcers. None at all? In any sports.

What year is this?

Ernie calling someone an agitator is priceless and he's the highest paid pro football player to ever play the line.

The big cat was an all time great heel.

When you have the girth of dusty the bear hug won't do to much

Dirty Dutch was great! I remember when I was a kid when Dutch talked thru the mic he had your attention. Just like the great Terry Funk. Dutch was underrated definetly one of the guys who sold their character!

I remember watching this episode! #80s! CWF!

Jones was sturdy and capable.He went toe to toe with the best.Showed up and showed out.

2 of the very best 😊

Ernie Ladd didn't want the crowd putting doubt in Dusty's mind.... "SHUT UP BE QUIET FOR A MINUTE!"

Lol, 😂

Boy do I miss these days off wreastling .The wreastling was so much better in this Era and it was a lot harder the wrestlers took a lot more punishment back than. That's what made it so good to me 😢

Modern wrestling is so cringe. This stuff was fun and exciting because it had that raw, gritty, simplified quality that captivated viewers.

Terry Funk... "I don't recall that at all"😂😂😂! This proved what I believed growing up as a kid in the 70's pre cable in then WWWF territory with only the "Apter mags" to keep up with the NWA. The Funk Brisco rivalry was one of the best in wrestling history!

33:23 -- Sweet Brown Sugar Standing drop kick to the top of David Von Erich's head. One of the 5 best drop kickers in the history of Pro Wrestling.
