Still remember this clearly. Tommy was my favorite wrestler back then I was so happy he came back.

[@hugrad95]

Tommy Rich was voted most popular wrestler in the early 80s

[@daveschannel747]

That wildfire double drop kick was awesomeness

[@earache_barker]

Valiant holding Yamamoto off the ropes was mighty clever.

[@GeromePegues]

Tommy wildfire rich I grew up watching him!!!

[@johnsawh1867]

[@scottdavidson9963]

WTBS. The Superstation. Sat 5:05 - 7:05.

[@davidquinn9476]

Michael Hayes one of the best promo guys in wrestling history

[@troylowe814]

Before Hulkamania, Tommy was The Man.

[@earache_barker]

It’s true. WTBS was close to national at this time. Rich was HUGE for several years.

[@scottdavidson9963]

​@@earache_barkerbig time

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

😂 41:04 Steve Olsonowski's dropkick to Carson was MONEY 😂 My mans went flying

[@fleegerbriggs5694]

Ole & Gene were sooooo good!

[@daveschannel747]

Wow, micheal Hayes was 21yrs old here.. Buddy Roberts had the wrestling prowess.. Bam Bam had the size and Micheal was the mouth! What a tandem

[@kimblewinstead6846]

Gordy was 19

[@bigroy38]

That slap by Junkyard Dog.Wow!

[@tbush08]

I remember watching this

[@anthonyware7116]

Tommy Rich - Buzz Sawyer feud was classic NWA wrestling.

[@scottdavidson9963]

The Battle of Atlanta. Steel Cage. The Omni.

[@mankind2112]

Ole and Gene were legit

[@reginaldjohnson1637]

Tommy rich won a number of championships in Georgia

[@fuzzfrancis435]

12:54 still gives me goosebumps.. listen to that pop!

[@reginaldjohnson1637]

Tommy rich was a tough competitor

[@daveschannel747]

Stomper was 45yrs old here! You would never think it! He tore up Memphis! Din Carson was the perfect mouth for him! Carson was no slouch in the ring himself!

[@battlestarmarc]

13:34 original Freebirds were awesome. Hayes was great doing heel promos. lol freebird championship wrestling.

[@johnlong334]

When you pull in the yard with that much room, why not turn around instead of backing all the way to the road?

[@reginaldjohnson1637]

Tommy rich was my favorite in the 1980s. I never forget he was the youngest person to defeat Harley race

[@tomjones5650]

Harley laid down for the $$$.😊😅😂

[@scottdavidson9963]

They all do​@@tomjones5650

[@MyNameIsUnavailable]

Google Map that house Tommy left

[@robertcurrier7364]

They used Tommy’s video for that final push for the NWA Title

[@desmondcastro3679]

I'm still looking for the awesome Omni footage featuring the Anderson Brothers vs. Andre & Rhodes.

[@donaldpainter956]

Try 106 n. Albany

[@robertferguson381]

The Match was not at the Omni...it was at The Ohio Center in Columbus Ohio...was awesome

[@bigroy38]

Gene Anderson was a total beast!

[@chrisruth7057]

But Ole really carried the team in 1979 to especially 1981 big-time cause Gene Anderson was running out of gas & not in shape but Gene was good in the mid to especially the early 70s when they 1st teamed together & he always had great wrestling psychology even in 1981

[@stevejessee4603]

Wild fire!! Baby hot damn!!!!

[@Peekay9]

Tommy was a blonde Elvis in the 80s.

[@reynaldoreyes9927]
