This match took place in late 1972 after Swede Hanson lost his hair
in a match with Jerry Brisco. It is good to see footage of Homer O'Dell
as the manager of Rip and Swede.

Great footage!!   Hawk and Hansen with Homer Odell as manager were a great tag team combination of that era.  They reall could butts in the seats.
 
That's when wrestling was "wrasslin"  Don't see great matches like that any more.  cry
