GCW Macon 3/14/83 Where is Your Head Butt At?
Mar 15th, 2013, 6:57am
 

Macon Coliseum Macon, Georgia 3/14/83 7 PM Referee: Scrappy McGowan
 
Dusty Wolfe defeats Barry Horowitz with a middle rope Knee drop @ 7:00.
 
Rip Rogers defeats Paul Diamond with a gut buster @ 8:46.
 
Wendell Cooley defeats Norvell Austin when Rogers comes out and trips Austin by mistake. It gives a superkick by Cooley a bit more momentum. Austin kicks out just after three @ 8:05.
 
National Television Title
Bob Backlund and Jesse Barr w/Sir Oliver Humperdink
wrestle to a 20-MINUTE DRAW. At the bell, Backlund has Barr in a chicken wing hold.
 
Bob Roop defeats Mike Rotundo w/James J. Dillon. A series of shoulder breakers by Roop are followed up by a standing hammerlock. Rotundo makes the ropes and, after some pleading by McGowan, Roop releases the submission hold. He argues with the ref and Dillon uses that distraction to get his man to the back. Rotundo is COUNTED OUT @ 13:00.
 
******INTERMISSION******
 
Six Man Tag
Jack Brisco/Masked Superstar/ Dick Slater vs. Bobby Duncum/Ted DiBiase/Cowboy Ron Bass w/SOH

Slater has his hockey mask on and is giving Duncum a series of head butts to the ribs. McGowan tells him, emphatically, to stop. In a move that shocks the crowd, Slater headbutts McGowan. The DQ bell rings @ 21:18.
 
Brisco and Superstar, who have been fighting on the floor, are stunned.

Fun stuff here. I would have enjoyed the Barr/Backlund match in particular. Nice to see Jesse Barr getting a push. He should have been a main event star in real life in the 80s.

Huge fan of the Barr push. I was just wondering myself why he did not go farther. Very talented guy. Wolfe Vs Horowitz would be a great opener but I think the match of the night would have been Backlund Vs Barr for sure with the Roop Vs Rotundo a close second. The main event shows why Slater is "Mr. Unpredictable".
