Gear - Silver, Drew, Sampson, Braddock (briefs), Thunder, Bret, Ricki (swim trunks), Rhoda, Sterling (trunks)
Drew is a huge bodybuilder that barely fits in his trunks, He powers out of a full nelson and cradles Silver for a first fall victory. Drew loses the second fall to a head scissors/head claw combo. Drew loses the third fall as well when he's put in a figure four. Action is only so-so but seeing Drew in those trunks alone makes this match worth seeing.
Rhoda is another huge bodybuilder that looks great getting beat on. An arm bar gives you a good unobscured view of the muscleman's chest. With both arms held from behind, Thunder shows his flexibility by landing several kicks to Rhoda's chest. Rhoda gives the bear some good chops to the chest. But Thunder reverse and gives him a clothesline and then some good knees to the back. A little later blows to the chest bring Rhoda down. A full nelson is reversed back and forth until Rhoda is thrown backward like a rag doll. Both men are wearing out as Thunder applies an ab stretch. Rhoda powers out but is unable to defend himself when he's immediately put into another. so Thunder wins the first fall. During the second fall Starr seems to have gotten his barrings again. Even a sleeper can't keep the Superman look-alike down. Several blows to Thunder's hairy chest weaken him enough for a submission hold. Rhoda's double bicep pose has to be seen to be believed. The third fall almost immedately has Rhoda on the mats in a crotch ripper. Some leg torture follows. But the bodybuilder come back and gets Thunder in a rough arm pull and then starts some leg torture of his own. But an arm across the throat is reversed and Rhoda has to go on the defensive again. Afer some gut work, Rhoda is slammed to the mat and has a huge leg dropped over his upper chest. An eye gouge and his head rubbed into the mat further weakens Rhoda.an on-the-mat crucifix is too much for the bodybuilder and he submits the match. A great sweaty match which will give superhero worshippers wet dreams for weeks.
Just like in the first match, Braddock's trunks look smaller than they should be. You get a good view of the bear's frame as Silver and Braddock exchange blows at the beginning of the match. It's ended when Silver gets a big bodyslam. Braddock gets some good head and chest punishment before he's flipped to the mat. A tight head lock, chest bashing, and leg torture further weakens the bear. Almost immediately after getting to his feet, Silver is bodyslammed again and gets put in a headlock. In retaliation, Braddock is kicked several times. A unique submission has the bear submitting the first match. (Silver lies on Braddock's back while pulling the bears arms backward and locking his legs.) Near the start of the seconf all Braddock gets more chest punishment and an arm pull. Braddock comes back with a tight head scissors which has Silver rolling around on the mat. A bite to the leg makes him release it and leaves him open for forearm blows to the upper chest and a hip toss. Braddock raises Silver high up and leaves hi m there until he's ready to drop the black man's stomach on his knee. A bodyslam, nerve pinches to both sides of his neck, a throw, and an over-the-shoulder backbreaker take their toll on Silver. More nerve pinches, a hard knee to the back, various blows, and a body scissor leave Silver open for yet another over-the-knee backbreaker. A hangman gives this fall to Braddock. A full nelson and bearhug are applied on Silver during the third fall. He retaliates with big moves of his own including a headlock which has Braddock bend over with his arms flailing around. A big blow to the gut has the bear reeling. A step-over arm lock and chest slaps has Braddock in even more pain.Further kicks, a headlock, and another arm lock leave him open for a boston crab make the bodybuilding bear submit.
Sterling does a nice bodybuilding pose before the match. Even though Sterling is young in this video he refuses to back down. A kick and blow to the pec has the young bodybuilder backed into the corner for further chest abuse. It leaves him open for some arm stretches and more chest punches. Sterling fights back and gets Silver in a head scissors. (Sterling looks awesome grinding this hold on) An arm lock/test of strength brings Sterling slowly down to the mat. A reverse nelson has Silver kneeling on the mat submitting in pain. Silver comes back during the next fall. He punches, low blow stomps, chest slaps, and then puts the young bodybuilder into a slow cobra clutch which has Sterling going out. Third fall is more of the same back and forth grappling with Sterling getting backed into the rope again and getting gut and chest punishment. Unfortunately, the young bodybuilder gets reversed and finds himself submitting to a cradle. (If the ending would have been less anti-climatic this could have been a classic match.)

Vendetti is a husky teen bodybuilder while Bo is a few years old, a few inches taller, and a few pounds heaiver. Bo manhandles the young man with a full nelson, a test of strength, kicks, and a boston crab. When Vendetti hits Bo's chest the big man goads the bodybuider to try again and again. A reverse bearhug, an attempted spinning hangman, another full nelson, and leg torture. Vendetti against tries working on Bo's chest without much luck. Bo retaliates with some back fists to Vendetti's pecs. A tight cradle further wears the young man down enough to be put in a full hangman. After Vendetti's win of the first fall, Bo goes on a pro rant about being number one. The second fall has Vendetti getting more chest punishment. The dazed young man has to be drug to his feet. An arm and leg tie up give the match to Bo. Bo does some more ranting and mentions "I'm back" and then immedately follows with "You never know me before."....This was his first and only match for BG. What a stooge. (But as stooge heels go he was pretty good.)
Malone is a big football player that (at the time) was probably the heavyiest set man to wrestle for BG. Immediately the Beefackes (Cliff Conlin and Kurtus Beefcake (aka Scott Randsome)) attack the big man. This entire match is a 2-on-1 with the young bodybuilders working over Malone. This isn't a squash. Malone does get to lay some punishment on both Beefcakes.
Stevens loses the first fall to a surfboard varient. He then suffers through a short bearhug, corner bashing, and sleeper before finally making a comeback. But Stevens gets put into a quick spinning full nelson and loses.
Razorback is a big black bodybuilder that's at least 1-2 inches taller than Beefcake. The third bearhug finally wears Beefcake down enough to convince him to submit.
