The episode features Frank Dusek vs. Mike Bond, as Dusek works over dependable enhancement talent Mike Bond before things fall apart a little at the finish. From there, The Magic Dragon takes on Ken Mantell, leading to the birth of a new show nickname: Fubuki. The guys also dig into Magic Dragon’s background, his connection to Kabuki, and the tragic end of his life years later. This is not the strongest World Class episode on paper, but it gives Robb and Scottie plenty to work with as they continue building the foundation for the series. It’s a snapshot of early WCCW before the promotion fully explodes, it’s rough around the edges, weird in places, occasionally boring, but still loaded with little details, history, and that unmistakable Sportatorium flavor.  If you’re following the Retro Wrestling Re-View WCCW Podcast from the beginning, Episode #2 is the kind of show that reminds you: sometimes the journey through wrestling history means sitting through Frank Dusek DDTs, Magic Dragon nerve holds, Arman Hussein whistles, and King Kong Bundy with a full head of hair before the Von Erich fireworks really kick in. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ (https://www.patreon.com/retrowrestlingarchive)
