11-Man Over The Top Battle Royal $3,000 Purse ~ 1982 Clipping

Big 11 man over the top battle royal in Tacoma in 1982.
Not sure why they are fighting over a purse?

That purse is selling for $3,000, so maybe they will re-sell it on ebay?

Ha!  Looks like a great match with some future legends on the card!

No D.Q. Falls Count Anywhere - October 28, 1982 - Newspaper Clipping

No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere?  If you heard hardcore wrestlers of the 90's and early 00's talk, they invented these types of matches.

November 6, 1981? ~ Newspaper Clipping

I'm not sure what year this one is supposed to be, super early 80's or late 70's?  What do you think?

I can't imagine that Rip Oliver wrestled twice in one night, but who knows what happened?  Maybe Billy Jack called him out!  Maybe that was the beginning of their decade long feud!  

Big Time Wrestling in Seattle - February 16, 1983 ~ Clipping

The main event, Shiek Abdullah Husein versus Billy Jack!  

Wrestling sure does have a way of taking cultural stereotypes and turning them into villains.

Big Time Wrestling in Seattle - August 18, 1982 - 10 Foot Steel Cage Match!

There was always such excitement when the main event had a steel cage!

But someone always figured out a way to escape the cage.

August 18, 1982 ~ 10 Foot Steel Cage Match - Clipping

Since I've been watching all of the older then my time matches on You Tube, I have noticed that 

they really liked to have other wrestlers referee some of the matches.  And the good guys

usually called it right down the middle, of course.  I don't remember them ever using that in the late 80's and 90's.  It seems like Rocky Johnson is the special ref at this event.  I wonder if his son was in 

attendance?
