Big Red was a solid big man just a few years later in Georgia Championship Wrestling!

[@davesullivan8073]

Wow, how many times have you ever seen the people cheering for the sheik..

[@trentaccid2177]

Idol's rack hold was called the Texas Brainbuster when Blackjack Lanza used it.

Idol's real name is Mike McCord. Early in his career he survived a plane crash although it took months for him to recover.

IRON MIKE MCCORD

Look how stiff that ring is.
No give when bumping
Dory Jr is probably the best technical wrestler in the last 50 years.

[@dannyjohnson6323]

Did he say Garth Vader

[@lanceparker4796]

Abdullah had to be liked being from Winsdor Ontario wretling in Detroit.

[@robfinlay8058]

If wrestling was still like this many more people would watch! Modern day wrestling is terrible which is why the TV ratings are so bad!

[@trentaccid2177]

NO BLOOD FOR THE BUTCHER IN THIS MATCH.
