Phil Schneider Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 A bit of a bait and switch as this is listed as a Terry Funk v. Wahoo McDaniel and that match is the semi-finals of an elimination tourney to wrestle Harley Race for the title. The Funk v. McDaniel section is only about three minutes as Funk jumps Wahoo at the bell, smashed his headdress (Wahoo must have bought the headdress's in bulk, for all the times they got ripped up) and threw him around the ring, before Terry got quickly rolled up. Gino runs in and they both beat on Wahoo a bit before the start of the final match. Wahoo v. Gino was a pretty great double juice brawl, with Gino really doing a grizzly blade job. Wahoo is so great a just leveling people with chops, and Gino is awesome as a pinball heel. he flies over the top rope a couple of times with true abandon. A little bummed I didn't get to see more of a Funk v. Wahoo dream match, but Wahoo v. Gino was really good and the kind of hidden gem I want this project to unearth.

shoe Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Wahoo McDaniel vs Terry Funk and the winner faces Gino Hernandez 2/6/81 As a segment this was off the charts. We start off with Wahoo and Terry. Right off the bat Terry lays waist to Wahoo's headdress. We get some stiff brawling with some plunder. Wahoo is bleeding and Terry is just beating him. They tease a hope spot that gets cut off before it even starts. Finally Wahoo stuns Funk with a chop and gets a roll up. Gino is out and Funk and him puts the boots to Wahoo. Funks leaves and is all over Wahoo's cut. He's really taking it to Wahoo.Wahoo just sells and sells. Finally he makes a comeback and Gino is superballing for him. The crowd is nuclear here. Both men are bleeding pretty fierce. Wahoo goes over and gets a shot with Harley Race. Again this is a gem that we've never seen. 4 1/4* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G. Badger Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 The surprise of having the first match be Wahoo vs Terry was great. It was short and sweet with Wahoo getting the pin. That doesn't stop the Funker from laying the boots to McDaniel nor is it below Gino to rush the ring to get the jump on him. Wahoo is in a bad way with Gino dominating. Eventually, the Chief gets an opening and lets Hernandez have it. I loved when he had Gino by the head and pointed to the turnbuckle like 'Your face is going right there asshole!' From there on out I was hooked. This is up on the 'tube so check it out. The whole segment is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
