Aug 15th, 2007, 9:29pm
 

CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING FROM FLORIDA
MIAMI BEACH AUDITORIUM
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 15, 1977 7 PM
REFEREE: LEO GARIBALDI

 

 
Promoted by: CWF
Sanctioned by: NWA
 

 
--National anthem

 
Match 1-
 
CIEN CARAS/ DENNIS HALL defeat CHIN LEE/ BUCK FORREST when Caras hits a frog splash on Forrest and follows up with a lateral press.
 
Time: 15:39
 
Match 2-
 
JIM BRUNZELL/ BOBBY EATON defeat PAUL DEMARCO/ MISSOURI MAULER.
 
A double clothesline by Eaton and DeMarco carries both men over the top rope to the arena floor. DeMarco tweaks his right knee and is unable to make it back to the ring. The legal man for the heels, Mauler, is double teamed by Brunzell and Eaton. A double drop kick is followed up with an Alabama Jam by Eaton for the cover.
 
Time: 19:28
 
Match 3-
 
THE SPOILER w/ SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK defeats MIKE GRAHAM.
 
Graham wears his half of the Florida tag team title belts to the ring. The match is dead even, with Graham’s speed and aerial tactics overcoming The Spoiler’s weight advantage and deliberate style. Several conferences on the floor between Humperdink and Spoiler result in the masked taking shortcuts. In the end, Spoiler gets the attention of Garibaldi while Humperdink clobbers Graham with the tag belt while he is slumped on the middle rope. The Spoiler locks on the claw for a win.
 
Time: 20:39
 
Match 4-
 
BOB ARMSTRONG/ RIC DRASIN defeat HERCULES STEVENSON/ MACHO MAN JOHN RINGER.
 
Stevenson and Ringer come to the ring waving an Arizona flag. They put the flag in a stand in their corner. It does not help them early on. Drasin and Armstrong focus on the back of Stevenson. A vicious power slam by Drasin leads to Stevenson barely getting his foot on the rope.
 
Drasin misses a flying clothesline when Stevenson ducks. He falls through the ropes and hits his head on the ring railing. Ringer also poles the muscular Drasin, turning his forehead into a crimson mass. Stevenson and Ringer act like sharks. They work on Drasin’s head, with Ringer clamping on a camel clutch. Armstrong comes in and breaks the hold.
 
Both teams have advantages right up until the end. Ringer brings the Arizona flag and tries to hit Drasin with it, while Stevenson holds him. Drasin ducks. Stevenson is decked by the flag. Drasin tags Armstrong, who hits a high knee lift for the win.
 
Time: 28:30.
 
Match 5-
 
SOUTHERN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
AUSTIN IDOL(C) defeats CHIEF TIO w/ SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK

 
Humperdink gets into Idol’s head during the ring introductions. This allows Tio to attack the Southern champ from behind. He drives Idol’s shoulder into a ring post through the corner turnbuckles. Idol has to work most of the match with a useless right arm.
 
Humperdink jumps on the ring apron anytime Idol gets a substantial advantage. Garibaldi goes to put him down. After a couple of times that Tio gets an advantage from the distraction, Idol decides to take short cuts of his own. A European forearm to the Almond Joys by the Universal Heartthrob is followed up by a reverse atomic drop. Idol whips Tio into the ropes and lands a big boot to the Manchurians head.
 
Shaking his right arm, Idol eventually manages to lift Tio into a bent knee backbreaker. Idol climbs to the middle rope and drops a fist into Tio’s left knee. Humperdink jumps on the apron. A discus punch by Idol puts Hump on the floor. A Las Vegas Leglock gives Austin the win.
 
Time: 30:00
