***Watch the show along with Robb & Scottie at the link below*** https://rumble.com/v7boa2a-rwr-wccw-podcast-ep.-4-52982-fritz-von-erich-heads-toward-his-final-match.htmlEpisode #4 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View WCCW Podcast takes Robb Helt and Scottie Wince back to the May 29, 1982 episode of World Class Championship Wrestling, as WCCW keeps building toward the huge Texas Stadium show and Fritz Von Erich’s upcoming retirement match.This week, the Sportatorium is hot, the windows are open, the crowd is loud, and the show continues pushing the growing war between the Von Erich family and H&H Limited. King Kong Bundy is now fully locked in as a dangerous paid weapon for Gary Hart and Arman Hussein, with a bounty style bonus waiting every time he takes out another Von Erich.This week’s card includes:Wild Bill Irwin vs. Ken MantellThe Magic Dragon vs. Kim DukThe Great Kabuki vs. Al MadrilBugsy McGraw vs. Boogaloo ShaftKerry Von Erich vs. King Kong BundyThe show features a strong promo segment with H&H Limited, Bugsy McGraw, and Fritz Von Erich. Fritz talks about his final match taking place at Texas Stadium, his goal of taking the American title back from Bundy, and his desire to devote himself to helping his sons become world champions. There’s also a very funny moment where Fritz accidentally calls Mark Lowrance “Mike,” which Robb absolutely does not let slide.Then comes the main event: Kerry Von Erich vs. King Kong Bundy. Kerry looks like a star, Bundy is working harder now that he’s in there with the Von Erich boys, and the bounty angle gives the match real purpose. The finish may not be satisfying, but it keeps the Bundy/Von Erich issue moving and sets up Kevin Von Erich vs. Bundy for the following week.This episode keeps WCCW moving in the right direction. It still has some rough patches, but the major angles are starting to click. Kabuki feels dangerous, Bundy feels like a serious threat, H&H Limited has heat, and the Von Erich family story is starting to become the engine of the show.If you’re following WCCW from the beginning, Episode #4 is another step toward the promotion catching fire. The Texas Stadium build is on, Bundy is collecting money for hurting Von Erichs, and Kerry vs. Bundy gives the show the kind of main-event energy World Class was built on. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
