McGuirk Wrestling Territory: Q3 1978

In the 3rd quarter of 1978, The Brute sees (Eric the) Red, Ernie Ladd chases a wonderful champion, not one but TWO candy men, and more!


Here is the roster for the quarter. Wrestlers are listed in descending order by their average SPOT Rating during the quarter:


NEW TO THE TERRITORY THIS QUARTER
(wrestlers either making their first-ever appearance as a regular in this territory, their first appearance since Sep 1959, or appearing in a significantly different role/gimmick than when they were here previously)

BILL IRWIN – The younger brother of Scott Irwin, Barney “Bill” Irwin turned pro in 1977. He wrestled in Mid-Atlantic and Georgia before coming here in early August. While he did hold a few singles titles during his career, he’s best known for his numerous tag team runs, teaming not only with his brother but also with wrestlers such as King Kong Bundy, Leroy Brown, Black Bart, and Bugsy McGraw.

HERB CALVERT – While pro wrestling was a minor footnote in the life of Herb Calvert, his journey to the pro ranks as well as his life after wrestling contains some interesting anecdotes. As a wrestler at the University of Oklahoma, Herb broke the school’s record for most pins in one season; the previous recordholder had been Danny Hodge. After a few years in wrestling, Calvert became a Deputy for the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Department. In later years he worked for Canteen Vending and became known as “the candy man” due to his frequent visits to local businesses to restock their vending machines.

JERRY STUBBS – Probably best known for his run as the masked Mr. Olympia in Mid-South and Continental, Stubbs spent a few years learning the ropes without the mask. After wrestling in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, and Mid-Atlantic, Stubbs debuted in this territory in September 1978 as an undercard babyface. Years later, he used the nickname “Mr. Perfect” as a heel. According to Stubbs, he told Curt Hennig that Curt could use that name in the WWF (this would have been when Jerry and Curt were both in Japan in early 1987; Curt debuted the Mr. Perfect character in the second half of 1988).

JIM SHIELDS – As a wrestler at Oklahoma State, Jim was an All-American and finished third in the NCAA tournament as a heavyweight in 1971, helping OSU become national champions. In later years, he was an assistant coach for the school. His career in pro wrestling seemed to last just a year: he was here for about six months, then went to Florida for several months, then finished up with a handful of matches for McGuirk shortly after the Watts/McGuirk split in September 1979.

RICKY FIELDS – Ricky first appeared on Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling’s TV show in 1971, biting Bobby Shane in the leg while Shane was brawling with Ricky’s father, Lee Fields. Some sources say that Ricky was 12 years old at the time. If this were true, it means that he was either 14 or 15 when he had his earliest pro matches in late 1973 for Gulas. He spent most of his career in the southeast, wrestling frequently for Gulf Coast and, later, Southeastern. He teamed frequently with his cousin Johnny Fields (aka Johnny Wayne), Terry Lathan, and Ken Lucas.

CHAMPIONS & KNOWN TITLE CHANGES

NOTE: Title histories are sometimes not “linear”; title changes can be acknowledged in one market but not others, or perhaps acknowledged in others at a later date. Also, the concept of titles being “held up” can sometimes refer to a town-specific angle to build to a rematch and may not be acknowledged in other markets. This represents my best effort to accurately portray title histories using the tools now available. While I do try to put these histories together on my own, I often refer to wrestling-titles.com

NORTH AMERICAN TITLE
Paul Orndorff was the champion at the beginning of the quarter. At some point in August, Ernie Ladd defeated Orndorff to win the title. While the exact date of the title change has not been documented, the two most likely candidates (based on an analysis of all known advertised cards) are 8/21 in Tulsa and 8/23 in Monroe.

U.S. TAG TEAM TITLES
Bobby Jaggers & Jerry Brown were the champions for the duration of the quarter.

LOUISIANA TITLE
The Assassin was the champion at the beginning of the quarter. Jose Lothario won the title at some point in late September. The date of the change is believed to be 9/20 in Monroe, though the Assassin is advertised for title defenses as late as 9/29 while Lothario’s first advertised defense is 10/7.

LOUISIANA TAG TEAM TITLES
Ray Candy & Steven Little Bear were the champions at the beginning of the quarter. The titles were held up in Alexandria after a match between Candy & Little Bear and Kurt Von Hess & Siegfried Stanke on 8/8, with Candy & Little Bear winning a rematch the following week. They then lost the titles to Von Hess & Stanke, with the most likely date being 8/29 in Alexandria. Four weeks later in Alexandria, Ricky Fields & Terry Lathan beat Von Hess & Stanke to win the titles.

BRASS KNUCKS TITLE
Paul Orndorff was the champion at the beginning of the quarter. The lineage is unclear, but at some point in the fall Ron Bass becomes champion. It’s not known if he won the title from Orndorff or if it was a phantom title change or some other scenario. Orndorff was advertised for title matches against Bass on 9/14 in Little Rock and 9/19 in Oklahoma City, and Paul left the territory the following week.

Here are the top feuds in the territory for the quarter:


ANATOMY OF A FEUD

Here’s a look at the feud between the Brute and Eric the Red, looking at all the known matches between them with stipulations noted where available. The matches are arranged chronologically by city, so you can easily see which cities had multiple matches between them.

Where results are available, they are listed. In some cases, details on the finish or any angles that occurred are given as well.

Keep in mind that some newspapers didn't list details, so just because a match isn't specified as a title match, we don't necessarily know for a fact that it was non-title and the same can apply for stipulation bouts.

Eric the Red came to the territory over a year earlier and had been a fixture on the heel side. He turned babyface in July and began to feud with former ally the Brute (Mike Davis aka Bugsy McGraw). Some sources state that the feud began when the Brute was destroying an enhancement wrestler in a televised match and the wrestler happened to be Eric’s “younger brother”. I can’t verify this, and other sources state that Eric was attacked by the Brute & the Assassin at a TV taping to begin the feud. It lasted until late September when Eric left the territory. He went to Florida, and sadly passed away in November 16, 1978 due to complications suffered after being hit by a car a week earlier.
