Ok, how did they miss the Tim Horner "Shameless" joke!!

Quick spolier for next week: The Boogie Woogie Man, Handsome Jimmy Valiant

Ahhhh, they would do the same for Flair if I remember correctly. It seems like he won it one year, but Time wouldn't recognize it.

Was Foley encouraging people to vote for him?!?!

One night at the Louisville Gardens, some black guy sitting near us kept calling Buddy Landel a "fat honkey". Actually, it wasn't disgusting, but kinda hilarious as Landel actually laughed at it.

Liz announcing in ICW around 81 Liz in 78

You can probably add Bischoff in this as well (how quick he rose)

Just a FYI: Elizabeth was never 300 pounds or fat. Other than that, Buddy is awesome.

Sooo, was the story about Afa and Sika true in San Francisco? (Them always charging the ring, so they began training them to be wrestlers because they feared them so much). In Southwest, Terry Daniels answered Adrian Adonis' open challenge and fought him to a draw. They began training him after his impressive showing. Terry Garvin was a hair stylist in Nashville that would cut the boys hair. Dundee ended up training him.

Eh, take the Bart one with a grain of salt. He's like that in one of his shoots, but it's like everyone thinks, "we know it's bullshit, but it's Bart." I need to tell his producer to make a Twitter page since Terry isn't a big Twitter guy.

If you're on Facebook, give him a shoutout. He always answers feedback. The last few of guests were Bull Pain, Axl Rotten and Johnny Mantel. I believe he's going to try and get Tony Falk on soon. If you don't know, Falk wrestled for the Poffo's (ICW), Jarrett (Memphis) and von Erichs (Dallas), so you know he has some great stories.

I've always heard that about Hutton as well. And agree with your take on Garvin. Worst booked champion ever. Ridiculous decision on Dusty's part.

Jim Ross was harping on this on his podcast before the New Japan PPV with people saying wear dark pants and just piss yourself.

To add on how Super 8 got the same seat each week: we went to the Louisville Gardens weekly, so we'd pay this money a buck to get us our same seat. She'd make an extra $25 a week from a group in our area.

Listening now and my all time fav Andre the Giant "ladies man" story is when Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissey describes seeing Andre screwing a young lady and said it was "like a lion raping a rabbit". Would have loved to hear Lord Al say this (after saying he loves children).

Holy shit!!! Epstein is making an appearance?!?

I actually went to that show, but for some reason forgot to set my VCR to tape it. Was so looking forward to going home to watch.

I still gotta petition for you to drop Goldberg's podcast and add Terry Garvin's podcast.

Good deal. What thread exactly? I love to read others perspective on Memphis. Would love to see it.

The main difference was The Fabs, while protrayed as "pretty boys", were presented as ass kickers hand picked by the area's biggest ass kicker himself: Jackie Fargo. That went a long way in the eyes of area fans. Plus they had been established in the area and were well built guys that looked like they could handle themselves. Jeff, on the other hand, was known as the promoters son, was skinny (guys knew they couldnt whip the fans, but thought they could whip Jeff) and it seemed forced that he was portrayed as a "sex symbol". My cousin, a female, loved the Fabs, but Jarrett did nothing for her. My uncle, who could handle himself, loved the Fabs but thought Jeff was a wimp. Jerry did try his best to try the Fabs formula with Jeff: badass sex symbol. He matched him up with guys like Jonathon Boyd and Spot in an effort to get him over as tough. Just my thoughts from someone who loved thru it.

Haha, no hate here. I just love anything Memphis rasslin.

Not sure you can call anything a sucker punch once a gun is pulled. Why Not ? They said Dundee was pulling a gun and Savage punched him on his blind spot. That is called a sucker punch in Memphis. Maybe they call it something else in Kentucky. The story was that Dundee was surrounded by Savage , Angelo , Rip Rogers and George Weingeroff . The legend is that Dundee was going for a gun and Savage punched Dundee on his blind side and broke Dundee jaw . Dundee never saw the punch coming. I was not there , I am only repeating the story . Rip Rogers , and Dundee know the real story . Anyway , I think it say to say Dundee and Savage disliked on another. If someone is going for a gun on you, I'm sure you'd do what you could. And I call a "sucker punch" a punch when no one is expecting it. Dundee was going for a gun, so he's to expect Savage to retaliate. And I'm taking sides on either, because I like both, but...

And after hearing Danny Davis talk about Buddy and his scam...not sure if I believe him either.

From Tim Dils interview with Jerry Jarrett on kayfabe memories Dills: Since we're talking some about Buddy Fuller, he became your partner after the split. Buddy had a long career working behind the scenes in Georgia and Florida after retiring from the ring. How involved was Buddy in working with you those first few years and what led to Buddy selling his part of the company? I have heard about the Welch family training wrestlers through the years around Dyersburg, did help train some guys when he came back? Jarrett: As stated, Buddy was never involved in the promotion of the Tennessee territory. For a time, Buddy owned a farm in west Tennessee and during that time, he opened a wrestling school. I brought Buddy into the business as a political move and because his father was in great part responsible for me getting started in the business. Buddy asked if I could secure television in Ohio because he wanted to get active again in the business. I got television in Cincinnati, Dayton, and a couple of small markets in Ohio. I put the Memphis TV on in the towns and booked the first couple of tours with this talent. Buddy and Louis Tillet moved to Ohio. The plan was for them to begin with some of the Tennessee talent and develop a crew and begin producing their own television shows. The split was fifty-fifty in Ohio between Buddy and I. On the first night of the first tour, Bill Dundee called me and alerted me that things were 'beginning to smell funny' already. Dundee said Fuller came to the dressing room and told the talent that he had found a back door to the building open and hundreds of fans were coming in the door. Bill said the place was very near a sell-out. Various stories came in during the remainder of the tour, much like the first night, but with different twist. One spin was that the talent was told that most of the crowd was 'paper' because they wanted to have a big crowd on the first night. There is an old saying that goes, 'if it walks like a duck and quacks, it is probably a duck.' Well, this tour was walking like a duck and quacking loudly. I called all the buildings and because I had set the buildings up in the first place, asked that copies of box offices reports be sent to me. When Buddy showed up in Hendersonville with a check and reports that failed to match the reports from the buildings, he realized his hand had been called. I advised him that he and Louis could have Ohio and I'd run the Tennessee area. I already had a contract drawn in anticipation of his report. He signed the contract and that was the end of our partnership. Years later, Buddy called and asked if the IRS had contacted me. I said no. Buddy advised that they would be calling and that he had told him that he had no assets and asked if I would do the same. I said no. I explained that while I had few fears, the one I did have was messing with the IRS. I told him that unless he forgave the remainder of the contract, I would have to report it. Buddy was then faced with being caught lying to the IRS or forgiving the balance of the contract. Buddy forgave the contract. After Buddy's death, his wife and Ron Fuller, Buddy's son, found the contract and got an attorney and sued for the balance of the contract. With Buddy dead and the issues of involving the IRS, and the fact that Buddy had left small children with little means of support, my attorneys advised that winning the lawsuit could be as costly as the settlement. I settled with Buddy's widow.
