Reel in Place

  vs Abdullah the Butcher & The Sheik (AJPW 12/13/1979) Man, is this violent. Guys are stabbing and getting stabbed.

This is fine, but Terry Funk is the real star, trying to fight an entire baseball stadium. Terry Funk vs Eddie Guerrero - May 20, 1989 Terry Funk in 1989 WCW is one of the best years a wrestler ever had. Two matches with Flair, one with Steamboat, the Halloween Havoc tag, and then these wild B and C show matches with the likes of Cougar Jay and this one with Eddie Guerrero.  Alex Shelley vs Lee Moriarty - November 2, 2019 AIW uploaded this match a couple days ago. It leans a little bit toward a WHAT WILL IT TAKE indie match, but if you squint real hard at specific camera angles, you can see me in ...
