Shoot interview with the senior referee of the old NWA.
Tommy Young refereed some of the most historic bouts of all time. You can see
him in a special interview on the Ric Flair Triple DVD set as he explains to the fans what
is now called "The Dusty Finish" as to why Ric Flair retained his title.
Tommy Young speaks about his early start in Detroit under
The Sheik. He started as a wrestler and remembers his matches with such wrestlers as
Abdullah the Butcher and Andre the Giant (during Andre's first North American tour).
Tommy tells of how he became a referee. He was at a show
when the referee no-showed. He volunteered to referee instead of wrestle for the the
night, and he stuck with it. He got praise from those working around him, and he decided
to stop wrestling and just work as a referee.
He talks about some of the early matches he got to referee
from Flair-Steamboat to Brisco-Funk.
Young worked for the outlaw IWA after leaving the Detroit
area when George Scott, the promoter for Mid-Atlantic area, saw him. He was asked to join
Crockett's Mid-Atlantic area, and that is where he stayed until 1989.
The interview will talk about all the names of the day:
Abdullah the Butcher, plenty of Ric Flair stories, Dusty Rhodes, the Crockett Family,
Wahoo McDaniel, Nikita Koloff, Lex Luger, Barry Windham and everyone else.
