WWA in Cincinnati, OH  7-20-77
Jul 20th, 2007, 7:05pm
 

WWA Wrestling!
Friday night, July 20, 1977
Cincinnati Gardens in Cincinnati, OH

-----------------------------------------------------------
 
 
Match #1
1 fall, 20 minute time limit

Bruce Swayze
defeats Bobby Bold Eagle.
Bold Eagle dominated the majority of the match, but Swayze turned things around late in the match after raking the eyes of Bold Eagle.  In the end, Swayze picked up the victory when Bold Eagle charged at Swayze in the corner, but "Beautiful" Bruce ducked out of the way, then rolled Bold Eagle up from behind and put his feet on the ropes, picking up the 1,2,3!
 
 
Match #2
1 fall, 20 minute time limit

Fred Curry & Luis Martinez
defeat The Masked Assassins w/ George Cannon.
Curry and Martinez are looking for revenge after the attack on Martinez after a match between the two teams last Friday night in Cleveland.  This match is fast-paced and hard-hitting!  The Assassins pull their usual tricks, like switching spots behind the referee's back.  It makes no difference though, Curry and Martinez will not be denied on this night, and Curry catches both Assassins with dropkicks, sending one of them from the ring, then he covers the other Assassin for the 3-count and the victory!
 
 
Match #3
1 fall, 30 minute time limit

Sailor Art Thomas
defeats Greg Valentine by DQ.
These two tore right into each other as soon as the bell rings.  Valentine works his usual methodical style, wearing Thomas down, particularly working on his knee, looking to soften him up for the Figure Four Leglock.  Thomas uses his power advantage, throwing Valentine around like a ragdoll throughout the match!  The end comes when Thomas has Valentine on the ropes, pummeling him, and Valentine gets underneath Thomas, and pushes him up and over the top rope!  The referee calls for the bell, disqualifying Valentine for throwing his opponent over the top rope.
 
 
Match #4
1 fall, 30 minute time limit

The Sheik w/ Bruce Swayze
defeats Billy Red Cloud.
The Sheik started off by placing his prayer rug on the mat and praying to Allah.  Red Cloud brought the Cincinnati fans to their feet when he pulls The Sheik up off the mat, and nails him with rights and lefts.  Swayze pulls the rug out of the corner as Red Cloud sends The Sheik through the ropes and to the floor.  The tables turn as the Sheik comes back into the ring.  As he climbs through the ropes, Red Cloud moves in to grab him, but The Sheik jabs him in the throat!  Red Cloud staggers around, clutching his throat and The Sheik starts pummeling him!  Late in the match, Red Cloud turns things around again and has Sheik in a bad way.  Red Cloud nails Sheik with several chops...then goes for the Sleeperhold!  Suddenly, Bruce Swayze gets up on the apron, distracting Red Cloud, Billy goes over to him, but this gives Sheik a chance to regain his senses.  The Sheik pulls an object out of his boot and spins Red Cloud back around, jabbing him in the head repeatedly, making sure to keep it out of the referee's view.  The Sheik will turn his back to the ref, then jab the object into Red Cloud's head.  Sheik drops Red Cloud with a big right hand, and quickly applies the Camel Clutch!  A moment later, Red Cloud submits, and The Sheik is victorious!
