WWWF Wrestling TV 70's # 3

Amazing to get to see the great High Chief Smiling Peter Maivia again!! I loved seeing him in The James Bond movie " You Only Live Once" :R.I.PARADISE Chief Maivia!!!!!!

Nice

Backlund and Haystacks Calhoun partners ?

In shape: out of shape wrestling - lol, this was and still is the best - modern wrestling is just sad

Excellent

Chief Peter Maivia started the Samoans in pro wrestling the father of Alfa, Seka, and their sons, I think Roman Reigns, and Rikishi grandsons along with Rocky Johnson, and his son the Rock, and many others...I think there some great grandsons wrestling now... Probably as many as 20 wrestlers related to the chief....

Johnny Rodz is as tough as anyone in the WWWF

In July -3 1976 , Gary Cappetta replaces The late Buddy Wagner
Who passed on because of a Heart Attack

Sd Jones Johnny Riverea and Jose Gonzalez come in to Stop 🛑 Ken Patera

Backlund was way ahead on the issues of Concussions and CTE

Pete daurity a young Stan Hansen look at the build

That was the shittiest ref of all time

Strongbow and Maivia should have been tag champs. they were so over with the fans. instead we got the worst tag team champs ever The Yukon Lumberjacks.

Damn I wish vince mcmahon jr would have tookover in 70s from his father

Ropes are ridiculously loose.

Bringing bag my teenage years ,my brothers n I watching rasslin every sat morning we recall all these matches

Frank willams deserves to be in the hall of fame as the king of jobbers lmao

Look at that slow walking beer belly ring ref. Driving me crazy how slow he's moving.

Jesus Bob Backlund promos here are as bland as unbuttered toast

Hard to believe he would be an amazing maniacal heel in 1994

Thanks for Upload

The Golden Greek!!!

1977

Wish wrestling was still like this

what different world wrestling was then so old school and low key

Hadn’t seen Chursher Blackwell in a while….Nice

Some of wrestling’s greatest, a pleasure to view despite the vcr tape low grade visuals

I remember this,it brings back memories 🙏 thank you for sharing your video.

That ernie lad promo was hilarious and I can't get over how loose the ropes were

Da Duke of Doorchestah !

You know, I think there has been no greater boon to the dissemination of Samoan culture among the lay-people of mainstream middle America, than professional wrestling. While their depiction (especially in more formative years of the 'sport') has undoubtedly been deeply intertwined with stereotypes and outmoded, archaic, overly simplistic depictions of the Samoan people and their culture, that's to be expected due to both the medium and time period. Furthermore, similar to many "noble savage" stereotypical representations from the 1980's (such as the shamanistic Native American, and Supernatural Martial Arts Asian Master) the majority of these stereotypical characteristics are demonstrably positive, at least with in the contextual boundaries of professional wrestling. In fact, were it not for wrestling, I sincerely doubt many Americans from my era would even have the slightest conception of Samoa, its people, or its culture. So, fallacies and and questionably offensive, albeit positive, stereotypes aside (again, remember, we need to view these attributes via the context of both it's time and the medium of professional wrestling) I think it would actually be difficult to argue against the positive symbiotic relationship that has existed between wrestling and Samoan culture since the 1960's.

Larry Zybisco 250 lbs? Hardly, and Tony Garea is bigger than him and was only listed at 245. Zybisco was only about 225 here or maybe only 220 and Garea was about 230. They insult the people's intelligence by those weights.

johnny rodz!
did he ever win a match?

Frankie William's is good for any other job except wrestling. Greg Valentine could be sitting down for this match!

Gotta love, Johnny rodz, THE UNPREDICTABLE ONE
