Cool, this is the old school wrestling I grew up with.

I could watch these old school matches all day

Nothing comes even close to this in the last twenty years, and puts everything out there today to shame.

Damn... This match really changed my look on Cowboy Bob. He always awesome in the ring. My only times watching him was in WWF and he definitely looked nothing like this. Although I loved him as Pipers right hand

They would have made a great tag team !

2 legends, 😮😮never forgotten! ❤❤❤❤RIP. Miss those retro days.🎉🎉🎉 6:44

On the WWE Network there's a match between Bob Orton and Tito Santana and I watched it just to appreciate it as an old school match, expecting it to be the regular 10 minutes max of mid 80s WWF mid-card matches, but it's one of the best matches I've ever seen, like 26 minutes long and just masterful storytelling on both their parts, check it out sometime, I believe it's the only Bob Orton vs Tito Santana match on the Network

Awesome match! Two of my all time favorites

Good stuff! featuring two very cagey and skilled professionals.

Bob Orton was is so underrated. He could wrestle and talk circles around the guys now. Goes without saying, Funk is one of the best of all time. These guys were masters of their artform.

I saw Bob Orton Jr .- Tito Santana (Intercontinental title) at Richfield Coliseum, OH. I was new to pro wrestling viewing, so I only knew Orton as Roddy Piper's flunky. Didn't expect much, BOY, WAS I EVER WRONG!!! Orton gave a 'rasslin' dissertation. Oh, yes, Bob Orton was very underrated.

Not Talking . Bob’s Achilles heel , the thing that held him back , was that he had no ability to talk people into the building . Among fans that really appreciated in ring artistry His name would sell a ticket but to those less taken with technique he was boring . Bob was more in line with sixties wrestling than eighties wrestling . I think its a damned shame that many think his run as Roddy Pipers backup was his highlight . The stuff he did in the NWA was far better .

It's weird seeing this matchup, I always thought these two could be each other's stunt double.

Never realized how much they looked like each other. Especially here, when Funk had the same hairstyle as Orton.

Southwest Championship Wrestling

I really like the old school wrestling wish I could see more matches from k c mo

Notice Orton works the back nearly the entire match . That is strategy . You don't see that anymore .

really cool commentary ... where is this footage from?

Bob Orton Jr had a great title match against Hogan in SNME. In fact, that was the first WWE match I ever saw back in the day

When I would play with my LJN figures these 2 would be a tag team...

These guys would of been a bad ass team

Someone might have pointed this out, but I think this was a quarterfinal match in a tournament to determine a "world champion" who would be the southwest's answer to the larger promotions' champions (Ric Flair, Nick Bockwinkel, etc.). I don't know the rationale behind that, but I guess those other champions were difficult and expensive to schedule. Funk was the best wrestler and biggest name in the tournament, but it's possible he really didn't want to be champion, as he was pretty independent and liked to make his own schedule and have some family time. So he drew with Orton, got the go-ahead to advance but then was "injured" by Abdullah the Butcher, so Orton took his spot. I think Orton beat Wahoo McDaniel in the semifinal, then in the final, lost to Adrian Adonis, who was still in shape and a pretty credible champion. I'd guess McDaniel also didn't want to be champion as he was generally in the Mid-Atlantic.

Then Vince bought the time slot, correct?

Kool watched the whole thing 💯

They sold every blow

Where did this come from?

you would all most think, terry funk, is wrestling himself..lol. look at the hair, and body type... awesome match

larry floyd I always thought they had the same look, more like brothers.

Is it the match from may 83 ?

I remember readin PWI around1980 thinking funk looked like orton's brother...

funk was always a great wrestler, imagine having the best comimg to your house and would work out with your dad, lou thesz, pedro morales, billy watson and his brother dory and his dad. but terry loved the crazy character. but the man knows his wrestling. and his dad has own promotion so he ate and drank wrestling everyday since grade school and learn from the best wish i grew up in an enviroment like that.

When I started watching it Dory Funk would often wrestle Jack Brisco for the title. It was Jack Briscos toughest challenger at the time.

Good commentary; sometimes new commentary over old footage can be stilted and hard to listen to. They know what's coming and don't hide it.

Old. School. Wrestling. Real.

It says "Wrestling" on the marquee and these fans got it in spades. Certainly nothing the current WWEx-Lax can produce.

They could pass for brothers

oh jimmy suzuki

Should of been a battle for cowboy hats and boots.

question. did dory jr ever wrestle terry ?

Loved the match. But it was too long. I guess they both had to get over. Excellent match, but as a stand alone match, it went too long.

☆ Now - That's A Fight - Terry Funk V.S. Bob Orton Jr☆ ☆ DING - M2.H.B. 2022 ☆

lots of long curly locks on these 2 grapplers - must have gotten lots of attention when they were little toddler babies.

Anyone have a guess on what year this is?

"Starting on December 5, 1982, Southwest Championship Wrestling became the first weekly wrestling program on the USA Cable Network, airing Sundays at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. As a result of the new national exposure, SWCW staged a one-night tournament in Houston, Texas, to determine an "Undisputed World Champion."" - wikipedia Commentator mentions it being a part of the tournament, so I'm guessing December 82 or January 83. I was surprised it was that easy to pin down to be honest, I thought I'd have to dig a lot deeper.

Chowchilla Charlie it's may 26 1983 was the date he beat orton.

This exposes how much wrestling is as much what you do out of the ring as in . Whats the difference between these two ? Their work is pretty much even , a draw or near draw , until you put a mic in their hands . Funk knew more than in ring performance , he knew promotion . Orton seemed not to be very comfortable with a microphone . Thats why even though Orton looks as good as Terry Funk here , he is not generally thought of as in the same tier as Funk

THIS ... is professional wrestling ...

Pause it at 11:01, might have to click to just the right frame....by the looks of Funk's trunks....he seems to realllly enjoy wrestling...or maybe he just enjoys being beaten up by Orton....BOING

One of the best matches l seen not like today Cena rubbish waiving his face finishing move rubbish

Can't stand Terry Funk.
