Georgia Championship Wrestling
A Proud Member of the NWA
Hosted by: Jim Ross and Freddie Miller
Taped: March 9, 1983 @ WTBS Studios
Broadcast: March 9, 1983 on WTBS @ 6:05-8:05
Ross and Miller welcome the fans to the program. The referee for today is Scrappy McGowan.
The Midnight Express comes out with their newly won National Tag Team Titles over their shoulders. After some comments by both Randy Rose and Norvell Austin to Jim Ross, a cake is wheeled out to celebrate. Wendell Cooley and Steve Olsonoski come out and, eventually, Rose’s face ends up into the cake. Rose is livid and demands that the two faces be suspended for this embarrassment.
Cooley brings up the painting yellow that he and O had to take from Rose and Austin on TV recently. This was just a little payback. Rose doesn’t cool down and demands a match here today. Austin talks to him and gets him calmer. Rose says it will be non-title but the pain will be first rate. Cooley says it is about more retribution, as much as anything.
******COMMERCIALS******
Match 1:
Wendell Cooley/Steve Olsonoski defeat Randy Rose/Norvell Austin when Austin throws a flying head butt into his partner by mistake. Olsonoski gets the pin with an O’Connor roll @ 9:55. After the match, Cooley says they have gotten retribution. It is now about the belts. They want the gold.

Match 2:
Dick Slater defeats Tom Lintz with a spinning toe hold @ 8:22.
Slater almost was DQ ‘ed when he wouldn’t step away from kicking at the leg when Lintz reached the ropes. Slater looks clueless when Miller talked about which Slater would show up. Slater puts on the hockey mask and tells Duncum he is in his head.

Match 3:
Jim Duggan w/James J. Dillon defeats Brickhouse Brown with a football tackle and a running powerslam @ 7:22.
During the match, Tony Atlas comes out for commentary. He says if Duggan was as good a football player as he says he was, he would still be playing for the Falcons. Atlas says that the NFL probably got tired of the cheap shots like Atlas had to take last week. After the match, security had to separate the former SMU Mustang and Atlas.

A clip is shown where, last week, Bob Roop challenged Mike Rotundo to an amateur match this week.
Mike Rotundo w/James J. Dillon vs. Bob Roop
The first three minute period ends with no score, despite Rotundo breaking free from a ride right after the whistle. Rotundo is still arguing after the whistle for the second period. He is thrown to the mat by Roop for two points. Later, Rotundo sits out and lifts Roop into a fireman’s carry to break free. The match is 2-2 after two periods. The match is intense and Dillon is complaining about the angle on an arm bar. Dillon waves to the back and Paul Orndorff comes out. The bell rings for a DQ @ 8:34.
The collegiate rules go out the window when Rotundo and Orndorff spike piledrive Roop. Superstar and Atlas storm the ring too late.
END OF THE FIRST HOUR
“Georgia Championship Wrestling”
Second Hour
Opening:
Ted DiBiase is livid, as he storms to the desk. He tells Ross he will make Masked Superstar regret ever uttering the name of Iron Mike DiBiase on this TV program last week. He demands a way to show the world “the real man Iron Mike raised”. Tex McKenzie, GCW Chairman, comes out. He says that GCW will have an “Easter Spectacular” on Easter Monday April 1. The main event will be a 2-out-of-3 fall match for the National Heavyweight Title: Masked Superstar vs. Ted DiBiase.
A clip of the match in Marietta shows DiBiase clobbered Superstar with Dick Slater’s hockey mask. McKenzie says that there will be no hijinks before April 1. A GCW official will be at every Superstar and DiBiase match until then. The shot will be forfeited if DiBiase uses any foreign object. Superstar comes out and says if there is any Iron Mike in Ted, he wouldn’t need anything extra. Both men start shoving. Dillon, McKenzie, Ross, and Miller manage to get things settled.

Match 5:
Mr. Wrestling II defeats Larry Lane with a running knee lift @ 5:49.
After the match, II says the envelope from last week contained a contract. His “last title shot for a good while” will come at the Easter Spectacular when he takes on Cowboy Bobby Duncum for the Georgia Title. Dick Slater comes out and says he will “have II’s back”. The two shake hands.

Match 6:
Jerry Brisco defeats Steve Casey in a scientific match with the figure four @ 7:12.
Brisco shows some still photographs of the cigar burns he was treated for at a hospital last week. Jerry rips off the bandage and the burn over his right eye still looks awful. He repeats Jack’s proclamation last week. The Briscos are all about wrestling. Still, Jerry knows how to fight dirty, since he grew needing to show everybody he was just as tough as his brother Jack. Humperdink, Barr, Duncum, and Bass will pay.
******COMMERCIALS******
Match 7:
Bob Backlund defends the National Television Title belt against Dusty Wolfe. An atomic drop and a chicken wing put the game challenger down @ 7:49.
Clips show a hard fought match between Backlund and The Mongolian Stomper for the TV belt in Marietta. Backlund says that he was hurting from that one but fulfilled an obligation to help at a clinic for an AAU wrestling team in Atlanta. Backlund said he was invigorated when he started working with the kids but couldn’t believe what happened next.
A further clip shows a man in a hooded sweat suit. He starts to shout insults at Backlund. Bob ignores him until the figure starts to razz the kids. Backlund starts to go toward the man but authorities get between them. Rip Rogers removes the hood and says he will be a bad nightmare for Backlund until he gets that belt. Backlund says that those kids didn’t deserve that but Rogers will deserve the beating he gets for scaring those kids.

A set of clips shows the recent series of events between Thunderbolt Patterson, Armand Rougeau, The Mongolian Stomper and Dynamite Wayne Ferris.
Match 8:
Thunderbolt Patterson/Armand Rougeau vs. the Mongolian Stomper/ Dynamite Wayne Ferris w/ Gorgeous George Jr
Patterson and Stomper end up taking chair shots on the floor in this one. Rougeau is distracted by the impacts and Ferris rolls him up with a handful of tights @ 10:00. (One commercial break)
Rougeau says that Ferris shows what kind of man he really is. Women don’t desire and men don’t want to be like the coward he is. Ferris comes out, huffing and puffing, and challenges Rougeau to a match next week.
