PatMan Picks- Stampede Wrestling Favorite Matches. Part 1.

Welcome to what may, or may not, become a semi regular feature here at wPo. As you all should know by now both Audio Master G and my self have grown up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The home of Stampede Wrestling. In our popular  1 time podcast, ” two man reviews, Stampede Wrestling”  we talked about our personal encounters with all sorts of larger than life Stampede superstars such as Bret Hart, The British Bulldog, Bad News Brown, Chris Benoit and others along with some of our favorite Wrestlemania moments staring Stampede alumni. So, I decided to give the little promotion that starred so many talented wrestlers  a little more love . There are many wrestlers and many matches to choose from featuring  larger than life stars either before they became famous Im places such as the WWF, WCW, NWA, AWA or after when they returned back to their roots in Calgary. For those that somehow missed G and myself talking about all these memories and wrestler encounters in the past, check out our podcast right here at wPo.   https://wonderpodonline.com/?p=2533

And now on to my first pick, Dynamite Kid Vs Owen Hart. ” Street fight to a finish”. This took place after the British Bulldogs first run in the WWF where they became world tag champs and after Dynamites heel turn on Davey Boy smith upon the teams return to the Stampede promotion, which resulted in the break up of the Bulldogs. If you have never seen Dynamite outside of the WWF, you will notice that he is ” off the juice” in this match as this was nearing the end of his career due to many injuries. Worth noting at ringside  is Ed Whalen handcuffed to some little arab heel manager ( forgot his name) and also worth noting is the multiple run ins by the” British Bruiser” Jonny Smith, Davey Boys cousin who also turned heel, so that Davey Boy and Owen would have a pair of heels to work with in this story line. Sit back and enjoy the 6 min video of some classic Stampede Wrestling action. See you next time. Let me know what you think of the feature.

    I don't remember catching this one back in the day. Free Ed! Free Ed! That was a fun match to watch, thanks Pat!

    I remember the angle/ fude between Davey Boy Smith &Owen Hart VS Dynamite Kid &Johnny Smith. But this particular match I don't really remember seeing.It was pretty good, a "street-fight" between these 2 very good technical wrestlers was a different style than you would expect, although there is still a lot of good highflying and wrestling going on here.
