Great Outdoor Fight 1962

From The Great Outdoor Fight

Jump to: navigation, search

The Great Outdoor Fight of 1962 was a Fight famous to buffs and Fight historians as the Jeep Year.

Following the controversy of the Chris Matta win in 1958, it was resolved by the Ruling Body that any attempt to go against the Ruling Body would be dealt with severely. 1962 was the first year that this was put into actual effect, though the method of doing so had been determined several years earlier.

Flagrantly violating a cardinal rule of the Fight, which allows for only one Champion, the Schweitz triplets attempted to claim a three man victory. The Ruling Body retaliated with the Jeeps. All three were killed and buried southeast of The Acres.

The threat of the Jeeps was sufficiently potent that they were not used again to end a Fight until 2006, when the Ruling Body was challenged by the Son of Rodney. The Jeeps were prepared in 1975 and actually brought out onto the field in 1982, but those Fights were resolved by the contestants rather than the Jeeps.
