Dusty Rhodes & JYD vs Ted DiBiase & Kamala (Dog Collar & Bull Rope Match) 

You have no earthly idea, how much it means to me, to see these matches. These are my Saturday childhood mornings. There was nothing greater, than watching wrestling with my mother. She loved Dusty Rhodes. RIP to two great and loved human beings.

This is what happens when promos aren’t scripted and you speak from the heart...pure wrestling gold

I'm sitting in the front row to the left of the lady in the red shirt. I was there almost every friday night from 1982 until the very end in 1987.

Growing up as a kid watching wrestling religiously, you don't realize that all these wrestlers knew each other and have worked together in the past. Its amazing. Some of them I knew but not all of them. All these guys know each other. Junkyard dog and Ted DiBiase have a rich, storied history together. I miss wrestling when it had all these different organizations and territories.

The amount of blood that Dusty spilled in the ring during his career is mind boggling.

My childhood. No internet. Best time of my life

Sad to see 3 of these superstars are gone. Great match RIP Legends!

Now THAT is some old school FUN! I've seen years of WWE ppv's that don't get near that much energy & pop from the fans, with every single blow! And this was a typical house show back then! Love this, glad I grew up with it and know the difference!

Junk Yard Dog and The Freebyrds were the first wrestlers I ever saw walking to the ring to music. I remember that shit blew my mind. It was awesome! Today, everybody's got theme music. Even the promoters. JYD was truly one of wrestling's game changers. RIP. Also Dusty Rhodes, Ted DiBiase... legendary performers who set the standard for greatness. Great video!

This ladies and gentlemen is what is known as “heat”. Good stuff. Thanks for uploading!

I was there at that match. It was Awesome..From Start to Finish..Awe Memories...Long Live Houston Wrestling.....

"Salt and Peppah Jam Daddy!"

Ted DiBiase, the only one in the ring going by his real name and the only one still living! RIP: James Harris, Virgil Runnels and Sy Ritter!😢

Dusty and JYD were everywhere. They wrestled in every organization possible

JYD and Dusty! The best!

When I was working as Wrestling photographer in mid 80's I went down to Texas for weekend to cover uwf tv in ft worth and then to Sam Houston coliseum next night...these live interviews in middle of the show were awesome and so was meeting Paul Boesch.!..never forget reality Wrestling in Texas!!...Thx for uploading these priceless moments in Wrestling 👍

Kamala was such a great character

Salt and pepper jam!!!!

Do you hear that pop sound. Speechless and chills

It's crazy that's everyone involved in this has passed away except Ted. R.I.P to the greatest generation.

I remember go to the sam Houston Coliseum when I was young boy...an the crowd was crazy every match...more action less talk and a lot of ass whooping going on....

Now THATS wrestling entertainment Vince, Stephanie and Hunter.

GREAT MEMORIES, LOVE IT & KEEP'EM COMING!

I would've paid top dollar to see this live. The pop, the energy from the crowd, the heat, oh man...

so glad we could see these matches now in 2022. 1980-1990 truly best era for Wrestling you had so many promotions going, and you see stars before they were bigger stars later in wwf/wcw 84-92

JYD & DUSTY RHODES RIP

Kamala told story without saying a word how great was that

I MISS THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF WRESTLING

Unbeatable classic wrestling!! This was the absolute best!!

All I can say is... awesome!!!! this is what all those current W.W.E. fans should be watching instead of that borefest they run week after week.

Wow, I wasn't planning to watch a match tonight but this whole clip is really some great stuff. Wrestling doesn't get much better than this.

Lawd!!! I miss this. absolute classic. please listen closely at the crowd as they react to every blow to the head. CLASSIC!

When wrestling was wrestling, I miss u guys

Paul Bosch. Damn been a long time. I watched all these matches when they happened. It funny to see them now after all these years. Good mindless entertainment long before the internet. Gotta love the blood right? I guess Im getting old lol. Good stuff. 🇺🇸😎

I would love for someone to start showing " rasslen" from the 70's and 80's every Saturday night at 7pm on a local channel again. It could take the place of the crap they try to pass as wrestling of today.

i used to go to the coliseum every month just about when i was young.... awesome memories!

I want to say thank you so much for bringing these great wrestling matches of legends of the past who open the door to the super stars of today

Man i tell ya, i miss those days.

When wrestling was the very best and children everywhere had heroes in the ring and villains they loved to hate. Those were the days! Take me back…remember it like it was yesterday.

Grew up on Mid South, Just loving this great video!

This is when Rasslin was Great!

Rest in heaven both Dusty Rhodes and Junkyard Dog.

Salt and pepper jam. Folks missed it. But JYD had to walk off it was so hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

4 legends. Loved them growing up

There is nothing like the classic territorial crowds. They were so invested in the in-ring action that you could hear their response with every blow their faces would give to the heels. They were so disgusted with the heels antics it made them feel like their heroes were delivering the justice with every blow they themselves wished they could deliver to the heels. I remember as a kid watching matches yelling, Get'em!! Hit that fool!! They made you so excited having the heels scurry like cowards with every attack. Man, those were the days of believability in what was going on that we may never get back in this day and age.

Saturday night I saw this and it took me back when rasslin' was REAL RASSLIN'!!!!!

Grew up in Houston late 60's and 70'S. Saw HW every Sunday morning 9:30-11am and at SH Coliseum a few Friday nights. MORE!

I feel blessed that I grew up during this era of wrestling!!! This stuff is timeless,Unlike that poly saccharin bullshit they call wrestling nowadays!

wow a good classic . man dusty and the jyd manhandled them good.

Great match! Brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing this.

Wow! Simply the best wrestling ever was or will be!!! Pure entertainment at it's finest!

Wow that brings me back thanks for posting this

Its odd how WWE prohibits the blade but lets them continuously do dangerous moves that result in concussions and neck injuries.

The good ole'dayz,Saturday day nights was the best time to watch Houston Wrestling!!!

That crowd is HOT.

Good ole days! My friend and I were on the feight elevator with Kamala when my uncle worked at the Kiel auditorium in St. Louis in the early 80s. My uncle took wrestlers to and from the starting platform for entrances. My friend asked Kamala was wrestling fake...he smacked the shit outa my friend 4 stitches. He was taken to a back office stitched up signed a non disclosure agreement and given 500 bucks! I shoulda said that shit! 500 in the 80s was bank! Good ole days!!

THIS IS WRESTLING ONE OF THE BEST MATCHES

These old matches with no play-by-play are superior. Listen to that crowd!!!

Man it just doesn’t get much better than this it reminded me of being 9 years old and jumping up and down going crazy I would go to sleep thinking about what was going to happen next week and then I’d think every day about what was going to happen I believed every second was real how great it was

Can't mess with big Dust in a bullrope match!

These guys could really entertain you! Thanks for the video.

Anybody else catch Kamala dab his finger on DiBiase's arm and lick the blood off in that promo? Lol. Mr. Harris really sold that gimmick didn't he?

As a kid saw the cage match between JYD and kamala at sam Houston collesium loved being a kid in the 80's

The crowd roar tells the story...these were certainly the good ol' days of wrestling. It's now a by-gone era.

Holy crap. I forgot how much heat these guys threw down. JYD and Big Dust--it don't get any better.

Thanks for posting.

That match had a 15 minute continuous pop. You’ll never see that again

Great fight with tremendous heat!!🔥🔥🔥👍🍺. Keep 'em comin' Rob D.👍👍.

YOU NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL SEE ANYTHING AS SPECTACULAR AS THIS IN THE WWWF, WWF OR SO CALLED WWE.

Thanks for the video....it’s great watching this old stuff. Keep it coming !

Dusty Rhodes Was so popular from 1982 until 1985 I remember kids wearing a T-shirt with him on it to elementary school.

Imagine Jim Ross and Gordan Solie calling this match!

Hey these are great vids. Please keep them coming. I'm subscribing right now

Paul Bosch and Houston Wrestling was the best. Grew up watching it in the 80’s.

Heck of a match!! So many legends in a ring at one time!! These guys knew how to entertain!

It’s 2022 and my 4 year old granddaughter LOVES the junkyard dog

Wow! Dusty Rhodes & Junkyard Dog vs. Ted DiBiase & Kamala in a Tag Team Dog Collar & Bull Rope Match. What a CLASSIC bout.

Good to see General Akbar in the interview part. He was a legitimate tough guy and enormously wealthy. I’m thinking that Friday in this case was Terry Taylor.

Paul Boesch war hero, great wrestler and promoter. Gone are these great days of wrestling.

Dustin and junkyard dog was paying dues back then baby that's why it make them Legends today good God 👍🏿

A pre entitled Ted DiBiase. And a in-shape JYD. I grew up watching these vintage matches on live tv.

I wish i was alive during the Territory days. I was born in 88 so I missed all this

😢 this takes me to a time in my life when I was a teenager a young boy I eat sleep and breathe wrestling back then both parents was alive we enjoyed midsouth wrestling here in New Orleans Louisiana and we used to go to the municipal auditorium on rampart and to the extravaganza and the Superdome all of these guys have all just about passed away thank you guys for giving me something good to look at as a child to all of my hero wrestlers rest in peace

Man my uncle melvin owned n ran a flower shop right outside downtown houston tx and through one of his hi class connected customers he had front row season tickets for life to the sam houston Coliseum wrestlin matches and i wish i could go back to them days i remember so many awesome nights .

Many people don't remember JYD Sylvester Ritter RIP before the WWF as well as Ted Dibise Kamala & Dusty Rhodes. Thats due to a lot of wrestling organizations being shown locally not nationally. Dusty Rhodes actually spent time in the WWWF in 79 or 80 working for Vinces father.

Dusty Rhodes was in awesome shape there. What an incredible physique.

DiBiase could really sell it. Excellent match from the golden age of wrestling.

There was absolutely no subtle racism in that pre match promo.

This has to be the best crowd ever

Awesome classic. Thanks for sharing.

Never realized it, but JYD looks just like one of my coworkers with a head full of hair.

Only loaded a few weeks ago, a 1982 match. Watch a rare gem for wrestling fans.

Wow Ted DiBiase, JYD Kamala 80s was a good time. I saw these guys in the WWF growing up. Dusty Rhodes I didn't see until we got real cable in the late 80s.

My Childhood growing up in Houston. This is Gold!!

THIS is true wrestling

My childhood 80s baby

Yes sir 👏this is the wrestling I miss

4:43 camera woman like, F-this.

this is old school wrestling not the bullshit of wwe their style of wrestling is the shits today

Some of the best wrestling when I was growing up as a kid
