GCW: Marietta, Ga 2/7/83 A Rare Loss For..........
Feb 7th, 2013, 7:35am
 


Cobb County Civic Center
Marietta, Georgia February 7, 1983 7 PM
Referee: Tommy Weathers

 
Joel Deaton/Barry Horowitz defeat The Saint/D.J. Peterson after Deaton turns Saint a flip with a Lariat @ 8:23.
 
Joe Marcus defeats Johnny Mantell with a bent-knee backbreaker @ 7:00.
 
Rip Rogers/Norvell Austin defeat Steve Olsonoski/Wendell Cooley after ME, INC beats down Olsonoski for a prolonged period. Cooley tries to come in several times and that doesn’t help. On one of those attempts, Rogers and Austin execute a spike piledriver @ 11:00.
 
Tony Atlas vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan w/James J. Dillon
Duggan has Atlas slumped in a corner late. He sets and lets fly with a football tackle. Atlas gets his knees up at the last minute. Duggan staggers around after the impact and Atlas clamps on a full nelson. Tony kicks Dillon away and Duggan goes under @ 13:11.
 
Mr. Wrestling II vs. Paul Orndorff w/James J. Dillon
Orndorff hurts the right knee of II during this hard hitting bout. As the match winds down, Wrestling II throws the million dollar knee lift at The Total Legend. It isn’t as effective on Orndorff and II is hurt bad after throwing it.  Orndorff explodes out of a corner with a flying forearm and pins the masked man @ 15:04.
 
******INTERMISSION******
 
National Tag Team Championship
Jack/Jerry Brisco © vs. Jesse Barr/Cowboy Ron Bass w/Sir Oliver Humperdink

Jerry misses a knee drop on Barr while Jack and Bass fight on the floor on the other side of the ring. Humperdink yells at “The Future Shock” to do the deal. Barr locks on a Texas cloverleaf. Jerry gets to the ropes but Jesse won’t break. Weathers has to call for the DQ bell @ 23:39.
 
Bass poles Jack. Security has to enter the ring before The House backs off and leaves.

Great house show...Atlas was listed as taking on Orndorff, I fixed it for you, hope you don't mind...Great win for Tony...As a side note, I remember in GCW Solie asking why Tony doesn't use the full nelson (He was feuding with Patera)?  Tony said when he does, his knuckles swell and he can't release the hold (Glad he's using it here)...Tough loss for II, his feud with Orndorff keeps going back and forth, I like it...Bass & Barr made a statement against the Briscos...Awesome work Johnny!

great show. It looks like Rogers is finally fitting into MX Inc.
Deaton is showing a lot of promise.
In '83 2 should be putting Orndorff and other young guys over.
