    Episode #26: The Last Battle of Atlanta (Rich vs. Sawyer)

    If you were a fan of Georgia Championship Wrestling in the early 80s, there was no feud more talked about or more memorable than Tommy "Wildfire" Rich vs. "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer.  As most folks know, this feud came to a head in a famous steel cage match that would be known as the "Last Battle of Atlanta".  The match is memorable for many reasons.  One of the reasons is the cage itself, it was unique in the fact that it was a steel cage that also had a chain link top that would go on to inspire the WWE's HELL IN A CELL cage years later.  It's also famous because for decades it was believed that no footage of this match existed, it was the holy grail of the pro wrestling tape traders from the VHS days into the DVD days.  But mostly it was memorable because it was an exclamation point on a violent and bloody feud that lasted over two years.  This week, Doug & Tommy discuss the feud with Buzz Sawyer and everything that led up to it, the match itself, and even a few things you may not remember that happened after it.  Check it out!   Send in your questions for future episodes to douggilbertpodcast@outlook.com   For all things related to Doug Gilbert & Tommy Rich, check out www.dougilbertpodcast.com   For all things related to Gene Jackson's Retro Wrestling Re-View USWA Podcast, check out www.uswapodcast.com Please Subscribe to our Patreon to help pay the bills, https://www.patreon.com/wrestlecopiaIncludes the $5 “All Access” Tier & $9 "VIP Superfan" Tier featuring our VIDEO CASTS, Patreon Watch-Along Series, our insanely detailed show notes (for the Grenade, Monday Warfare, Regional Rasslin, Puro Academy, & Retro Re-View), Early Show Releases!
