Porkchop Cash

Bobby Cash (born October 22, 1947) is an American retired professional wrestler.

He competed primarily in promotions operated by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), like the Continental Wrestling Association and Georgia Championship Wrestling.

Cash made his wrestling debut in 1968, competing for the National Wrestling Alliance affiliated Championship Wrestling from Florida.

He wrestled both as a singles competitor and in tag team matches with partner Frank Hester.

The following year, he began wrestling for a Los Angeles, California-based territory known as NWA Hollywood Wrestling.

He soon won the NWA Americas Heavyweight Championship by defeating John Tolos on March 22, 1974.

After holding the belt for over two months, he dropped it to Black Gordman.

In a rematch two weeks later, Cash regained the belt.

Less than a month later, Ernie Ladd beat Cash to win the championship.

After losing the title, Cash formed a tag team with Manny Soto.

Together, they defeated Black Gordman and Goliath to win the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship on July 24.

The following month, Cash and Soto dropped the belts to the team of Angel Blanco and Dr. Wagner.

Cash was involved in a feud with Butcher Brannigan, and he teamed with Victor Rivera to regain the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship on September 14 by defeating Brannigan and Man Mountain Mike.

They held the belts until a loss to Otto Von Heller and Kurt Von Hess October 12.

The following year, Cash teamed with S.D. Jones to win the belts for a third time.

They won the belts from Jerry Brown and Buddy Roberts, collectively known as the Hollywood Blonds, but dropped the belts back to the Blonds the following month.

Cash's final reign came in 1976, when he and Frank Monte defeated the team of Roddy Piper and Crusher Verdu for the belts.

The reign was brief, however, as Cash and Monte soon dropped the belts to The Scorpions.

In 1976, Cash left California to compete in the Southeastern United States.

Cash's first stop was Georgia, where he wrestled for Georgia Championship Wrestling.

While there, he won the NWA Georgia Tag Team Championship by teaming with Tom Jones to defeat Jimmy and Johnny Valiant.

The following month, Cash and Jones lost the title to Gene and Ole Anderson.

Cash also wrestled for Tennessee-based NWA Mid-America.

He teamed with Gorgeous George, Jr. to win the Mid-America version of the NWA Southern Tag Team Championship in February 1977.

In Louisiana, Cash became a two-time holder of the Tri-State version of the NWA United States Tag Team Championship.

His first reign was with Mike George, as the team defeated The Medics (Billy Garrett and Jim Starr) on August 16, 1977.

They held the belts for only a week, however, as they lost them in a rematch.

Cash regained the belts in August 1977 from The Medics, this time with Dr. X as his partner.

The team split up in September, however, and Cash and Dr. X faced each other for control of the title.

Cash took Ray Candy as his partner, and Dr. X teamed with Ciclón Negro.

Negro and Dr. X won the match, bringing Cash's title reign to an end.

Cash returned to Louisiana in 1981, although NWA Tri-State had been purchased by new owners.

Cash regained the tag team title, which had since been renamed the NWA Tri-State Tag Team Championship, by teaming with Doug Somers to defeat Eric Embry and Chief Frank Hill.

Once again, Cash's title reign ended because of a split from his partner, as Cash and Somers went their separate ways later that year.

The following year saw Cash join Jim Crockett, Jr.'s Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling.

Once again, he enjoyed success as a tag team competitor.

Joining up with Jay Youngblood, he won the NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Championship in March 1982.

After dropping the belts to Don Kernodle and Pvt. Jim Nelson, Cash formed a team with Iceman King Parsons to regain the title.

In August, however, Cash once again lost the championship to Kernodle and Nelson.

After leaving the Mid-Atlantic territory, Porkchop Cash then joined Jerry Jarrett's Continental Wrestling Association based in Memphis, Tennessee.
