[Matt D]

If we do get any of the "Baron" stuff from 75, I think that's Tony Rocco (Don Corleone from the DVDVR Lucha set). He's someone that I came out of that set wanting to see more of. Obviously the four Santo matches from 74 and 75 are at the height of what we would want for historical value there, but every single one of those Jack Brisco matches look awesome too. Here's hoping.

Paul Sonowski over at DVDVR questioned the date of the Wahoo v. Race title match

 

http://deathvalleydriver.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5588-1978/

 

Anyone have any insight on this? If it is 1979 instead of 1978 it kind of fucks up my Segunda Caida All Time MOTY list

[paul sosnowski]

Phil,

 

I got this email yesterday from NWA On Demand about that match:

 

Thank you for the emails. We appreciate your interest! You may indeed be right about the date of the Wahoo-Race match. We primarily rely on Paul Boesch’s original program sheets, although mistakes do happen. We'll take another look at this first chance we get.

Thanks again, and enjoy the matches!

Kindest Regards,

The NWA Team

[paul sosnowski]

Here are the results of their 3 matches from 1978

Boesch @ Houston, TX – Sam Houston Coliseum – March 24, 1978 NWA World Heavyweight Title: Harley Race © fought Wahoo McDaniel to a draw

Boesch @ Houston, TX - The Summit - May 28, 1978 NWA World Heavyweight Title: Harley Race © d. Wahoo McDaniel by DQ

Boesch @ Houston, TX - Sam Houston Coliseum - June 25, 1978 Fence Match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title: Harley Race © d. Wahoo McDaniel (some sites also have this listed as a Texas Death match...(in a cage?)

In 1979, they returned to Houston for one match and it does end by pinfall-----

Boesch @ Houston, TX – Sam Houston Coliseum – June 1, 1979 NWA World Heavyweight Title: Harley Race © d. Wahoo McDaniel 2/3 Falls

(All 3 falls of this match were won by pinfall)

 

[NickH]

The date for the Wahoo/Race match is 100% correct.

 

Below is the Feb 3 1978 program cover. They usually put the next weeks main event on the front so that would make Harley/Wahoo take place on

Feb 10 1978.

 

Also notice during the match Wahoo is wearing his black trunks which after 1978 I believe he did not wear again and changed to the double strap singlet.

 

I'm going to rule out the other 3 Wahoo/Race matches from 1978 for these reasons

 

3/24/78 - Pat O'Connor is the referee

5/28/78 - The match took place at the Summit not Sam Houston Coliseum

6/25/78 - It's a Texas Death Match in a cage.

 

In a list I saw of World Title matches in the library that were cataloged. These Wahoo/Race matches were listed

2-10-78 NWA TITLE - HARLEY RACE VS. WAHOO McDANIEL
6-01-79 NWA TITLE - HARLEY RACE VS. WAHOO McDANIEL

2-28-81 NWA TITLE - HARLEY RACE VS. WAHOO McDANIEL

 

You can check the list at this link

http://www.infinitecore.ca/superstar/index.php?threadid=73929

 

Hope this clears it up. Just because there is no card doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's basically a waiting game til more matches get released then we can match them up and get the right date on them. Not all results are listed in this thread.

 

[paul sosnowski]

Wow, yours is the first evidence that there actually was a card on February 10th. But here's something to think about. Why would a 2/10/78 match end in 3 straight pinfalls, and then the March and May shows go to a draw and DQ, leading to a cage? Clawmaster's archives show no record of a Race or Wahoo match on that date in 2 separate archives.

Damn Paul, you are a hard guy to convince.

 

I wouldn't worry about the booking in 1978, Wahoo was a huge draw in Houston so I guess they tried to have as many title matches as they could with him. But Harley did have Wahoo's tights in the 3rd fall so maybe that called for a rematch.

 

As far as clawmasters results, unfortunately he passed away a couple of years ago so whatever results he has that is it. He was more of an AWA guy so dont know how much Houston results he had. But the fact that a 2/10/78 date is missing and with my clipping that a match did take place on that date. Houston ran just about every Friday so if there was a show on Feb 3rd, pretty good chance there was a show on Feb 10th. We really have to wait to see if more matches from this show gets released but for now it's the best we got and I'm sticking with it.

 

If that newspaper clipping I posted above doesn't convince you I dont know what will.

Alrighty, I'm convinced

Thanks. Can anyone figure out the discrepancy with Andre the Giant vs The Spoiler on 6/22/79? Clawmaster has this date for it on Andre's record book. The one from Paul Boesch's Wrestling Spectacular on youtube...

[NickH]

The Andre v Spoiler match happened on 6/29/79.

[paul sosnowski]

Excellent, thank you!!!

[paul sosnowski]

Does anybody have results for the 8/11/78 show with Dusty vs Brody 2/3 falls match?   Brody is American Heavyweight Champion, but this is a nontitle match.   Boesch says on commentary that Brody will defend next week against Fritz von Erich, but I can't find a record of that either

[paul sosnowski]

I believe this is actually 9/15/78.   Brody just won the American Title in Fort Worth four days earlier.   However, the following week on 9/22, he defends it against Rocky Johnson not Fritz

Small correction:

 

6/22/84 Midnights vs R&R is a double DQ not win by DQ for the R&R.

Source: just watched the match

And a loss for all of us since the well went dry.

Yeah...I don't get the impression we will see any more of this anytime soon. Happy for what we did get though.
