I Remember The Fabulous Thunderbirds at The Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles California... Go T Birds ...My Favorite Team . Roller Derby Was Wholesome Entertainment For The Whole Family.
Darlene was part of several teams, including the Bombers and Devils. They did a storyline much like the Randi Whitman situation where Georgia Hase tried to prevent Dar from skating for the T-Birds
the chunky referee in the Roller Games series is one of the owners. Stephanie is Sweet Stephanie and a lot of the Roller Games players are from these older leagues, No cell phones, idiots trying to video everything on their devices and the cameras were the tube style just before they went to CCD cameras, you can see the tracers from the light in tube cameras and video playback. Old school where you edited with an editing machine and put your soundtrack in, kind of like sticks and rocks for carbureators on cars before digital and internet, it was the days of intranet where businesses were not hacked from around the world and programs were small enough to fit on a disc, Big Hair, Gas lines and disco, what a time
This is Roller Games. Bill Griffiths was able to "rent" the name International Roller Derby League from Jerry Seltzer and the real Roller Derby for one year when they were on ESPN and skating out of Las Vegas.
As you know, these were staged back in those days (like pro wrestling) unlike today. As you also know, scoring is done when the jammer laps the opposing team.
@@cycologist7069 - perhaps, but today's roller derby (no caps intended) is nowhere near as entertaining. This particular "show" was NOT good, there were so many better skaters and games (not bouts) years before in the 40's - 70's.
I say tha cause the commentator s said that. Its true! He did have money in real life. And could have shiped roller games to china or shut it down fire skaters. Also during match races he had do many tricks would use foriein objets out of no wer. His body eas a progetile. He truly was a real dangerous man.. his guru stuff was scarry
They really need to bring this sport back
There are so many leagues everywhere who would love your support!!

OMG….so many of these girls would later appear on Rollergames. I never knew Dar the Star was once on the T Birds.
Darlene was part of several teams, including the Bombers and Devils. They did a storyline much like the Randi Whitman situation where Georgia Hase tried to prevent Dar from skating for the T-Birds
Darlene becomes Darr the Star with her rock band in Roller Games. Great track with the Wall of Death and the jumps
The names are crazy!!!

Is Carlos Vegas Sally Vegas son or some relative
Not related, I played with the Devils out of Los Angeles where I lived at the time.
comical, bad acting
Is this fake? Scripted fights?
Yeah ... back then, I think it was. They took some pretty hard bumps though.
Certainly looks like WWE lol
As you know, yes these were staged back then.
Very bad
