Episode 70: Tulsa Wrestlefest

In Episode 70 of Greg Klein's Old School Rasslin Talk, Tulsa Wrestlefest, Greg:

Welcomes Shawn Sparks aka Sparks3rdCoast to the show for the first time. 

Greg and Shawn: 

Look at the July 28, 1985, Mid South Wrestling Association show at Tulsa's Fair Meadows Raceway. 

Enjoy the Fantastics vs Jerry Grey and Eddie Gilbert match but not as much as the women in the Tulsa crowd. 

Discuss the two year journey of the Fantastics and Jake Roberts to becoming top stars in the region.

Consider Jake's recent comments about how he "stole the show" at Wrestlefest. 

Defend Bill Watts (hoo boy) against Jake's allegations that Watts stole a payday from another worker by putting himself in the "main event" six man tag.  

Talk about the biggest stars in Oklahoma wrestling history and note that the two of them on the card are almost the same age. 

Praise the monster truck entrance of Hacksaw Duggan and Dick Murdock. 

Greg wraps it up by looking at a WWF card three days later in Oklahoma City. 

Check out Greg's column about Morris Sigel on Slam Wrestling. https://slamwrestling.net/index.php/2024/10/11/guest-column-elect-morris-sigel-to-the-observer-hall-of-fame/
