Episode 434: One Town Per Fan

This week on STICK TO WRESTLING we review championship Wrestling From Florida during the year of 1976. Barry Rose is our guest, and he watched all of the television and attended the house shows during this time!

We talk Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Graham, Jack Brisco, Terry Funk, Gordon Solie, Superstar Billy Graham, Steve Keirn, The Assassin, Ox Baker, Bob Backlund, Bob Orton Jr, Billy Robinson, Thunderbolt Patterson, Mike Graham, Bob Roop, and much more! Also on the discussion table:

— This is the year Dusty Rhodes broke out as THE star in Florida, much like Bruno Sammartino was THE star in New York.
— Steve Keirn and Bob Roop engage in a heated and very personal feud.
— Superstar Billy Graham shows up and becomes the lead heel. —Terry Funk puts a bounty on Dusty Rhodes’ head.
— A very young Bob Backlund is here, learning the ropes and gaining experience.
— ”The Gladiator” shows up wearing a mask, but he still looks very familiar.
