Volume 7
We begin April 1979 as the Rose Army battle Adrian Adonis, Ron Starr, George Wells, and Hector Guerrero in an elimination match. Let’s just say things get pretty hairy. Like, ‘dangerous’ hairy. Not like Dutch Mantel hairy. You know what? JUST WATCH. It’s awesome.
Volume 8

September 1979: Now that Adrian Adonis has lost the PNW tag titles to the Sheepherders, he turns his attention on Buddy Rose and it gets out of hand. Also, Buddy issues an open challenge and puts his hair on the line! Is Rose bluffing or is he really that confident?

It’s now Thanksgiving 1979 in Portland and this year they are most thankful for Rick Martel.
The Final Volume
We enter the cold month of December 1979 and while Buddy Rose prepares for a cage match against Roddy Piper after months of ducking the man, Piper shows us how tough he is by breaking a beer bottle over his head. Plus, I make a Norm Macdonald joke about ZZ Top. Other interesting things that happen include some guy named Yaqui Joe showing up and Sam Oliver Bass turning heel! Can you BELIEVE it?
