Posted February 13, 201312 yr comment_5535196 This starts with a Bullet promo about Flame losing a loser leaves town match and the return of Mr. Olympia with clips of him turning on Bullet. Next we get promos by Street, Norvell, & Maxine. Continental TV Title: "Luscious" Robert Fuller © vs. Brad Armstrong (12/30/85) Funny to see all the feathers in the floor from the tarring and feathering of Johnny Rich earlier in the show. Fuller is in full on stalling mode here trying to keep Brad from keeping the advantage on him and he's the TV champion so he has a time limit to milk. Good back and forth action here with Brad looking great and Fuller being solid as the foil. Lynch & Olympia would show up and Mike Jackson all of a sudden announces that the TV time limit expired and they will have another match next week. What a shitty ending there. Mask vs. Mask: The Bullet vs. The Flame (12/16/85) This is a rematch from a month earlier. Bullet in control early while Flame hems and haws trying to get his foreign objects in place before punching Bullet in the guts with one of them. Bullet fights back but Flame works him over a bit more before Bullet springs his feet off the ropes and they both go down for a double pinfall but Bullet got his shoulder up. Flame is highly pissed here and the Stud comes out to help Flame take off the Bullet's mask. Mr. Olympia runs out and then turns on Bullet headbutting him in the back with a foreign object. The Armstrongs show up and eventually make the save. Studs celebrate with Solie because they thought they saw the Bullet's face but no cigar and Stud raised the bounty up to $20,000. This is a definite extra. Then we get another promo from the Studs and the Armstrongs. Boomer H. Lynch vs. Dave German (12/16/85) This sucked. Then we get promos by Bullet, Brad, Studs, Norvell, & Street. Continental Heavyweight Title: Roberto Soto © vs. "Luscious" Robert Fuller (12/16/85) Fuller trying to get the fans to chant VIVA MEXICO was hilarious. Soto was very strong early on throwing great punches and working over Fuller's left arm with rapid arm drags. Fuller would soon gain control keeping Soto grounded with headlocks but Soto would make a comeback firing off more great punches. The action would go to the floor numerous times and this was fun stuff before Fuller loaded up the boot to KO Soto for the win. Studs cut a celebratory promo afterwards. Good match and although unspectacular everything was well worked here. I'm throwing this up as a low-end pick. Next we get the classic Nightmares video again. Then we get promos by Street & Stubbs. Tom Prichard makes his debut here and they show video of him turning on Horner in Mid-South. Next we get a taped promo by Solie & Lady Maxine who was injured by Street. US Jr. Heavyweight Title: "White Lightning" Tim Horner © vs. Tom Prichard (3/3/86) This has some clipping but what is shown is really good as Prichard breathed some new life in the Jr. division. Both men were solid in everything they did here and the buildup to the finish was fun as they brawled on the floor then Prichard dropped Horner neck first on the top rope before jumping back in the ring to cover him with his feet on the ropes. Fun little match and I'll throw it up as a low-end nomination. Then we get promos from the Armstrongs & Nightmares. Next we get clips of a Wrestling II squash. Stubbs comes out with the Alabama title belt and says that he wants to make a new belt with clips of him winning the title being shown. The Rich's are out next for a promo about losing their Southeastern titles to Fuller & Golden on 3/1/86 with clips. "Luscious" Robert Fuller & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Golden vs. Josh Stroud & Bill Tabb (3/3/86) This is clipped and a squash. Next we get a promo from Fuller & Golden. Then we get clips of an Armstrongs/Starfighters match from 11/28/85. Next we get a promo from the Nightmares accepting a hair match challenge from the Rich's. Then we get a promo from Robert & Street who wants to get his hands on Brad in more ways than one. Brad & Soto cut a promo in retort. Continental TV Title: "Luscious" Robert Fuller © vs. The Executioner (12/9/85) Fuller takes the mask off then destroys him. The Rich's come out talking about taking the Nightmares hair. Next we get promos by Welch & Timbs. Southern Street Fight: The Bullet & Brad Armstrong vs. "Luscious" Robert Fuller & Boomer H. Lynch (12/9/85) Everyone is in street clothes here and Lynch is wearing a fucking full mechanic suit. This is just a complete brawl from the start before Flame shows up throwing powder in Bullet's face then goes for the mask which brings out Roberto Soto making this a 6-way battle. Bullet then goes for Flame's mask almost getting it off and gets it off with Robert covering him up. Then we get promos to follow. Match was short but the segment was awesome and a definite extra. The next show starts with Solie sitting on the apron of the ring in the empty Boutwell Auditorium for a year in review show for 1985 and this is damn good TV show.
October 9, 201311 yr comment_5566805 Continental TV Title: "Luscious" Robert Fuller © vs. Brad Armstrong (12/30/85) This was good stuff, would have gotten over better if they just called a draw. Mask vs. Mask: The Bullet vs. The Flame I really dug this. Two personalities that are over and had the crowd the whole time. Flame has great crowd psychology. The whole presentation is an extra. Continental Heavyweight Title: Roberto Soto © vs. "Luscious" Robert Fuller (12/16/85) I don't think it cuts the muster here as a nomination. They got the time to have a good match. I dug the viva Mexico chant Fuller trys to start. I liked the viva Puerto Rico chant after he gets beat down. Fuller was a lot of fun. I just feel Solo's work was just there. US Jr. Heavyweight Title: "White Lightning" Tim Horner © vs. Tom Prichard This was a fun little match. These guys had good chemistry. The early portion was real quick and fun with Horner controlling the arm. Pritchard worked the neck. So they were telling a story in the ring. They go to the floor and brawl a bit. This leads to the finish. I'll co sign on as a low end nom. We get a promo from Robert & Street Fuller looks to be cracking up with Street's sctick. Extra Southern Street Fight: The Bullet & Brad Armstrong vs. "Luscious" Robert Fuller & Boomer H. Lynch This was a lot of fun and an extra with all the post match. I lost my shit when Fuller wears a sweater vest to a street fight.
