This was the first of a couple of shows I shot for Tony Hunter's CCW before he went out of business. His shows drew great crowds - he used a good mix of legends talent and up & comers, along with occasional gimmicky matches such as midgets and ladies.
"Primetime" Brian Linder, seen here from match 4, was an Assistant Principal in Gaffney - he died in a car accident on August 23, 2009. |
One of our personal favorites, George South - applying the infamous stomach clawhold to Bobby Fulton! |
Second Generation Anderson - Brad Anderson holding his father Gene's trademark gold & maroon boots. For a great read on the Andersons, check out the "Minnesota Wrecking Crew" book by our friend Dick Bourne here. |
It was a great feeling being able to shoot at ringside with two guys I grew up watching - Funk & Rhodes, it was all I could do to keep professional the whole time. |
Best sign(s) of the night. |
Was there blood? With these two? Of course: |
First time shooting Matt Hardy, the crowd was deafening. |
