Posted February 16, 201312 yr comment_5535569 The Bullet & "Exotic" Adrian Street vs. "Luscious" Robert Fuller & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Golden (9/8/86) Street is now a babyface and Sullivan is on commentary here. This is JIP and Dr. Tom Prichard comes out and KO's Bullet then they jump Street before Prichard kisses and slaps Linda which brings down Steve Armstrong in a neckbrace cleaning house. Next we get promos by Fuller, Golden, Prichard, Armstrong, Bullet, & Street about what just happened. Alabama Heavyweight Title Tournament – Round 1: Steve Armstrong vs. The Raider (9/15/86) Easy win for Steve. Next we get a sitdown promo with Sullivan who is withdrawing from the Alabama title tournament. Sullivan talks about going to Malaysia and even plays off Roll Tide saying Roll Sullivan Roll. Alabama Heavyweight Title Tournament – Round 1: "Mr. Perfect" Jerry Stubbs vs. Brad Armstrong (9/15/86) Helluva 1st round match here but Brad is on his way to Crockett so they are getting him out early. Good action here with Brad throwing some great punches and an amazing dropkick while Stubbs is selling like crazy. Sullivan shows up and throws something to Stubbs who KO's Brad for the pin. Then we get promos from Stubbs & Sullivan who now has the New Guinea Headhunters with him. The New Guinea Headhunters vs. Jim Barnett & Al Scott (9/15/86) Jobber named Jim Barnett is fun. These guys are destroyed and we get a Sullivan promo afterwards. Fuller & Golden come out and they bring up how the Stud didn't put Sullivan in control of the Stud Stable and this leads to a staredown. Next we get promos from Steve Armstrong & Wendell Cooley. Alabama Heavyweight Title Tournament – Quarterfinals: Dr. Tom Prichard vs. Roy Lee Welch (9/15/86) Welch talks shit in Tom's face and eats punches for his trouble. Heel vs. heel here but Dr. Tom is working as the face but the crowd isn't behind either man. Good back and forth action with both men working at a fast pace and throwing lots of punches. Roy Lee hit a sweet forearm on Tom which the ref got bumped in the process allowing both men to go to their tights but Prichard was the one who connected to get the win. Fun for what it was. Next we get promos by Bullet, Steve, & Street about their feud with the Studs. Alabama Heavyweight Title Tournament – Round 1: Kevin Sullivan vs. Mike Headly (9/15/86) Sullivan changed his mind and entered anyway. Headly gets destroyed. Next we get promos from Steve, DWB, Horner, & Welch. Alabama Heavyweight Title Tournament - Finals: "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley vs. "Mr. Perfect" Jerry Stubbs (9/15/86) This is JIP and there was some good action here. Next we get promos from Bullet, Street, Fuller, & Golden. Solie pimps Street's latest album to close the show which was nice. "Hustler" Rip Rogers vs. Tony Falk (9/22/86) Wow this is a sleazy match right here. So odd seeing Falk in Continental. Rip is making his return to the area after 2 years and wins fairly easily. Rogers calls out Adrian Street after the match and that is a natural feud to run with. Street comes out and asks if Rogers or Britton is the fleabag then calls Britton "Trigger." Rogers goes up to Street and calls him a girl which leads to a brawl. The post match is great stuff. The New Guinea Headhunters vs. Burrhead Jones & Wayne Spratlin (9/15/86) Total squash. Next we get promos by Brad & Sullivan. Continental Heavyweight Title: Brad Armstrong © vs. Kevin Sullivan (9/22/86) Like I said earlier, Brad is on the way out so it's time to drop the strap. I know it's a broken record by now but Brad's punches are so awesome. Sullivan was vicious on offense here inside and outside the ring using the ringpost and barricade as offensive weapons. Sullivan used a wicked standing crossbow which Brad sold like it hurt like hell and it looked that way. Sullivan throws some great punches here as well and it's fun watching him make Brad work his style. Sullivan though was too tough here and just planted him with a sweet short piledriver to get the win. I dug this match a lot and I'm throwing it on the block. One of your better Sullivan singles matches from this era at least on TV. Welch comes out next and whines about Prichard using a foreign object to win the match last week. Next we get promos by Stubbs & Cooley. The Bullet & Steve Armstrong vs. The Executioner & The Mongol (9/22/86) Squash with Fuller & Golden on commentary. Then we go to a promo with Sullivan & Prichard where he is trying to convince Prichard that he is doing the right thing for the Stable. Prichard then accuses Sullivan of leaving the country and this is quite the interesting promo as Prichard said he wants no part of this deal. NWA World Heavyweight Title: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair © vs. Wendell Cooley (9/22/86) Gordon says we are 6 minutes in here. The action is good here but they go to a commercial during the match and we don't get a finish.
