Happy July 4th!

On this episode of The Hands of Z, Keith and Shawn head back to Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1983 for two matches that really caught them off guard—in the best way possible.

First, it’s Ron Garvin vs. Buzz Sawyer, a fast-paced, chaotic match packed with storytelling and physicality. Then we’ve got Larry Zbyszko taking on a young “Ravishing” Rick Rude, nearly a decade before they’d be on the same side in the Dangerous Alliance.

These may not be "hidden gems" in the traditional sense, but based on the era, the pacing, and what actually happens bell to bell, both matches really surprised Keith and Shawn. In fact, they might be some of the most fun they’ve had watching matches for the show so far.

Tune in to hear why these bouts stood out, what made them so engaging, and how these snapshots from 1983 GCW became unexpected highlights.
