Mike Graham

Scott Irwin under the hood.

They attack, a three on one, maybe a four on one counting Oliver there on Manny, and it's Dusty Rhodes and Mike Graham to save the day.

Yep.

Well, the, the Dream gets laid out, unable to compete later tonight.

It's not just Dusty being Dusty, "Oh, woe is me.

I'm beaten down.

I'm battered." There's not gonna be a Spirit of '76 here in the main event because the main event was supposed to be a tag team match with the guys we just saw in the ring making the save, doing the run in, Bugsy and Super D against Mike Graham and Dusty Rhodes.

Dusty Rhodes, since this happened so close to main event time, Dusty unable to go in the main event.

Bagwell hits some arm drags, which pisses Rudolph, and he starts beating on him.

Tony, again, wants to remind us that Mike Graham has been training Marcus Bagwell.

So thank you for that reminder again.

Rude gets a bear hug as crowd actually chants for Marcus.

And I don't mind the draw.

It makes sense to me that this is a draw because he's in there with Ricky fucking Steamboat.

He's not in there with fucking Mike Graham or Michael Hayes or Jimmy Garvin or some other schmuck.

So it makes sense.

You know, that's interesting because, I mean, I've always heard the stories about, you know, someone approaches Eddie Graham, hey, I want to get into the wrestling business.

And the next thing you know, Mike Graham has dislocated his shoulder and Eddie's like off in the corner laughing about it.

That's accurate.

As much as I would love to tell you, it is.

And Ted Webb was a friend of wrestling.

So not just CWF, but he was a friend of wrestling all over.

And Mike Graham, apparently, as the story goes, driving his car, heard this on the radio, decided to make a beeline

for the sports bar and got down there and

They split from Pettisino and did Deep South Wrestling, Global Wrestling from Florida, which was running opposite of Championship Wrestling from Florida.

Right, and that was Gordon Soley and Mike Graham.

Gordon and

Lefty.

Um, I was actually here in Tampa.

I was, uh, tra- we were taking, trading the Florida Tag Team Championships with Mike Graham, myself, and The Nasty Boys.

And I had probably 17 matches.

And, um, I mean, I was green as goose you know what.

And Ole was here scouting talent, and he signed The Nasty Boys, rightfully so.

They were big, tough, stiff.

And, um, [laughs] every night it'd be heat on the Indian, and then Mike Graham make the tag, all 180 pounds of him.

He'd come in, Nasty Boys would be flying around for him.

So, all right.

And last but not least on our Meltzer Notes tonight, Matt Souza, Mike Graham is teaching Marcus Bagwell and Van Hammer, which we will hear a thousand times how Mike Graham is training Bagwell in this podcast in the future because they constantly bring it up.

So, We obviously have Mike Graham to thank us for Van Hammer and for Marcus Bagwell.

What would be your thoughts on that? Oh,

that's why Van Hammer and Bagwell

So it was kind of a good like segue there for the attack we saw here a couple episodes ago.

I wish this is my first mention.

I wish they would quit reminding us that Mike Graham has been training Bagwell.
