Back by semi popular demand, I welcome you all to another episode of Stampede Wrestling classics. Join me this time around for more classic Ed Whalen commentary, tag team action featuring talented teams who just don’t seem to like each other and one hilariously blind referee. In other words, business as usual in the Stampede promotion back in the day! Billy Jack Haynes was billed as a “very impressive newcomer” to Stampede Wrestling and ,of course, he would become a big Star in the WWF soon after. And what better a partner for any newcomer in this territory than a Hart brother, namely Bruce Hart. As you know, because you must have listened to or famous Stampede podcast that you can find right on this website, our own Audio Master G was lucky enough to have several of the Harts as substitute school teachers, including Bruce Hart at one point. The amazing growing and shrinking (Vitamin S does the body good when your in the WWF) Dynamite Kid along with ring veteran Duke Myers held the tag team titles, but the didn’t put them up on the line in this match to emphasize that they were the “cowardly bad guys”. Worth noting around the 5 min mark is the crowd hilariously chanting “we want a ref”. Also worth noting is the chaos that breaks out after the match finishes, including “run ins” from The Great Gama and also Davey Boy Smith, who takes a few shots at his future WWF world champion tag team partner. Enjoy the classic action, the fans reactions and the commentary from the late Ed Whalen. See you next week, but in the meantime and in-between time, thats it, another edition of Stampede Wrestling!
