Georgia Championship Wrestling 12/27/80 

Blassie was a big star in Georgia at one time.

Cool to see Blassie outside the WWF. It's too bad little footage exists of his prime years in California.

Incredible. This indeed Georgia Championship Wrestling

Ted “The 30 thousand dollar man” DiBiase 😂

At this time, the then WWWF was part of the NWA.

12/25/1980 ( GCW ) Atlanta Georgia Omni Coliseum: NWA Georgia Heavyweight Title Match: Tony Atlas ( Champion 10//24/1980 - ?/??/1981 ) defeated Kevin Sullivan ( NWA National Television Champion 11/29/1980- 1/16/1981 )

Perhaps the only time I've seen Hulk Hogan not speaking during a promo segment.

Kayfabe lives on in youtube!

Mr. Wrestling 2's promo is reminiscent of Nick Bockwinkel. As I was watching, I was thinking: "Why is that cadence and delivery so familiar?" Never noticed until just now. . .

Tony Atlas: Hell of a promo!

Steve Kerin and Tony Atlas are tag team partners, love this period of wrestling.

I like cross promotion like this one. great stuff, Blassie in GCW.

Alexis Smirnoff GCW return 12/27/1980 , since 12/7/1979 -8/15/1980

Freddie Blassie: said Brain scrambled and GOOFY about Andre... 🤣 🤣 i hear the word goofy so much in 2024! The legend of Freddie Blassie lives on in 2024! Going through your catelog of territories.. this ones a classic! 💪

Interesting to see the Hollywood fashion Plate on GCW

Freddy blassie looks very mad as if he wants to get back into the ring and fight anyone he sees.

That WWF footage was from BEFORE September 1980 because Hulk and Andre had their big blowoff match at Shea Stadium the month prior.

PENCIL NECK GEEK 🤓 🤣 GORDON SOLIE LOOKS GREAT 👍

Blassie had wars with Rikodozan

RIP Kevin Sullivan
