The Best Of Magnum TA: The Master Of The Belly To Belly Suplex

Go back in time in the mid-1980's and see a young, vibrant and appealing wrestler, which certainly classifies Magnum T.A. This was a man that came from a special mold that had great size, ability & charisma. The man that could hold the crowd in the palm of his hand. He was being groomed to have a run at the NWA World Title with Ric Flair before his unfortunate car accident in 1986. The wrestling world lost what would certainly could have been a tremendous career Luckily this tape can document the man's short but eventful career in Florida, Southwest Texas, Mid-South and the NWA.

Magnum T.A. counters back saying that II was jealous of him. II said that he picked T.A. up from the garbage and made him a star, and T.A. is gutless. II said that T.A. is a gutless man and tried to slap T.A. again, but T.A. got a hold of II's arm and stopped the slap.
