RWR WCCW Podcast Ep. 5 (6/5/82): “Kevin Kicks the Boots Off”

***WATCH THE SHOW ALONG WITH ROBB & SCOTTIE AT THE LINK*** https://rumble.com/v7c4kpy-rwr-wccw-podcast-ep.-5-6582-kevin-kicks-the-boots-off.html On Episode #5 of the Retro Wrestling Re-View WCCW Podcast, Robb Helt and Scotty Wince head back to the Sportatorium in Dallas for the June 5, 1982 episode of World Class Championship Wrestling, as the early pieces of what will become one of the hottest runs in wrestling history continue to slowly come together. The Freebird feud is still down the road, but the boys keep reminding everyone: you have to go through the rain to get to the rainbow. This week’s show has a little bit of everything that makes early World Class fascinating: Mark Lowrance still settling in, Gary Hart looming over the territory, Kabuki and Magic Dragon bringing mystery and violence, Jose Lothario proudly carrying the Brass Knuckles reputation, Bill Irwin continuing to grow on people whether Robb likes it or not, and Kevin Von Erich making a piece of World Class history by wrestling barefoot on TV for the first time (and apparently liking it). For fans following the full World Class journey from the beginning, this is one of those episodes where the future starts peeking through. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (https://www.patreon.com/retrowrestlingarchive)
