(BUSTER) CWF Vol. 3

This starts with Solie along with Mike Graham & Steve Keirn who won the US Tag Titles from Jack & Jerry Brisco (8/9/78)

 

Next we get a Dusty promo about his war with Killer Karl Kox & The Spoiler with clips of Kox costing Dusty the chance to win the Southern title from Spoiler on 8/2/78. Wahoo then comes out and they show clips of Dusty & Wahoo against Bobby Duncum & Kox from 8/8/78. This is good stuff. (8/9/78)

 

Duncum & Spoiler are out next for their take on the Dusty feud and they allude to Duncum being Spoiler #2 in a sly way which was fun. (8/9/78)

 

The Spoiler vs. Paul Ellering (8/9/78)

 

Yep Ellering is a muscle head babyface jobber here but he puts up a fight.

 

Next we get Gordon Solie ringing in the 1980's with the first episode of CWF in 1980.

 

Manny Fernandez vs. Marvin Turner (1/2/80)

 

Squash.

 

Sir Oliver Humperdink is out next talking about Bubba Douglas calling him an extra from a Tarzan movie which is wild. Then we get clips of Bubba stripping him at a house show with Humpy making a hair match challenge afterwards. (1/2/80)

 

$5,000 Challenge: Super Destroyer vs. Terry Taylor (1/2/80)

 

Taylor is very green here but he has gotten the scrappy youngster push here in the previous months.

 

Steve Keirn vs. Chick Donovan (August 1979)

 

Fairly easy win for Keirn.

 

Next we have Terry Funk & Solie talking about his quest to see how injured Dusty Rhodes' fractured right arm was. Then we get clips of Terry trying to reinjure Dusty on 9/4/79. Funk cuts a fucking awesome promo here talking about Dusty using his cast in violence while tearing his clothes off then throwing him out of the building.

 

Terry Funk vs. Reggie Parks (9/5/79)

 

Funk wins in seconds.

 

Ray "The Crippler" Stevens vs. Bill Irwin (9/5/79)

 

Manny is on commentary here since he brought Stevens into the territory to go after Bryan St. John who claimed he invented the Bombs Away. If you wanted to see what Ric Flair was going for in his haircut in early 1991, Ray has it here.

 

Steve Travis vs. Mike Hammer (9/5/79)

 

Easy win for Travis.

 

Mr. Hito & Kazuo Sakurada (Kendo Nagasaki) vs. Raul Mata & Don Serrano (9/5/79)

 

Pretty much a squash for the Japanese.

 

Bugsy McGraw vs. Jim Shields (9/5/79)

 

Squash and a crazy promo afterwards.

 

Steve Keirn vs. Tampa Terror (9/5/79)

 

Easy win for Keirn.

 

Next we get clips of Ivan Koloff & Mr. Saito winning the Florida Tag Titles from Rocky Johnson & Pedro Morales in November 1977.

 

Then we get clips of Mike Graham/Keirn vs. Tony Marino/Mike York from November 1977.

 

Next we get a promo from Ivan & Saito along with Tiger Hattori which is fun.

 

$1,000 Challenge: Lars Anderson vs. Scott Casey (November 1977)

 

Jack Brisco is on commentary here and Lars looks very different here without his beard. Casey makes this competitive but Lars makes him submit with an armbar. Don Muraco comes out afterwards since Lars injured his friend Brian Blair the week before but Lars leaves the ring.

 

Steve Keirn vs. Thor the Viking (Scott Irwin) (4/25/79)

 

Pat O'Connor is on commentary here and Keirn gets a big win here.

 

Killer Khan vs. Ray Candy (4/25/79)

 

Ray is in really good shape here for him but Khan puts him away in a couple of minutes here. Impressive victory.

 

Killer Karl Kox vs. Terry Gibbs (8/16/78)

 

Pretty much a squash.

 

Graham & Keirn are out next talking about beating The Spoilers at the Bayfront Center for the Florida Tag Titles on 8/12/78 with clips shown. Dusty Rhodes interfered costing the Spoilers the belts and the NWA wants to strip Graham/Keirn but they ain't giving them up.

 

Wahoo is out next for a promo talking about how Harley Race is ducking him because he beat him clean once.

 

Tiger Conway Jr. vs. Mr. Sato (8/16/78)

 

Mr. Sato would become The Great Kabuki in 3 years. Wahoo is on commentary here and this is a fun little TV match seeing Mr. Saito & Wahoo McDaniel get involved wearing shorts and flip flops. Well it was the summertime.
