Posted March 1, 201312 yr comment_5537416 The show starts with Platt & Thatcher announcing that Johnny Valiant has broken his leg and is out of the area. Dennis Condrey & Randy Rose come out and Condrey challenges Orndorff to an arm wrestling match. (1/24/81) Brad Armstrong vs. Oki Shikina (1/24/81) Competitive match with Brad going over. Then we get clips of Armstrongs vs. Condrey/Rose from Mobile on 1/23/81 with Mr. Saito getting involved rendering Bob bloody. Next is a great Jimmy Golden promo explaining why he turned heel on his brother Ron. (1/24/81) Mr. Saito vs. Roy Lee Welch (1/24/81) Squash. Norvell Austin, Ron Fuller, & Paul Orndorff then do a personality profile about the upcoming 2-ring battle royals with retorts by Ron Bass, Dennis Condrey, Randy Rose, & Mr. Saito. (1/24/81) Dennis Condrey & Randy Rose vs. Robert Gibson & Frank Lavert (1/24/81) Competitive squash. Then we get clips of Austin/Orndorff vs. Condrey/Rose as the finals of a 2-ring battle royal from Mobile on 1/23/81. Norvell Austin & Paul Orndorff vs. Jimmy Jones & The Superstar (1/24/81) Squash. Condrey & Rose come out after the match with a table and chairs for the arm wrestling match. Orndorff would get the win although Rose tried to interfere and when he tried to hit Orndorff with a chair it backfired by hitting him in the face. The next show starts with Brad Armstrong coming out with his newly won US Jr. Heavyweight Title for a promo. Dennis Condrey & Randy Rose vs. Norvell Austin & Robert Gibson (1/31/81) Ron Bass does commentary as he is feuding with Gibson. Condrey & Rose look great here especially Rose with his headscissors spots and flying dropkick off the second rope while Condrey brought the power. Austin & Gibson put up a fight with Gibson playing FIP taking a beating but gets the hot tag to Norvell. Austin comes in cleaning house but Gibson tags back in so Bass can trip him up on the floor causing him to lose. Bass & Gibson brawl on the floor as Norvell gets double-teamed but Orndorff would make the save. Fun match but not a nomination. Then we get clips of a Condrey/Rose vs. Austin/Orndorff match from Mobile on 1/30/81. Jimmy Golden then does another great promo about turning on his cousin Ron and holding up a bloody mask. We need to put the whole angle as an extra because there were great promos here by all sides. Jerry Stubbs vs. Roy Lee Welch (1/31/81) Stubbs was wearing the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Title that he won the night before in Mobile from Les Thornton. This was a really good match and almost enough to be considered for a nom. Next is a personality profile with Jerry Stubbs who talks about Brad Armstrong winning the vacant US Jr. Heavyweight Title and Brad gives a retort. (1/31/81) Mr. Saito wants to demonstrate his Cobra Clutch and puts it on Roy Lee Welch and of course goes too far so Bob Armstrong runs out to pull him off. Then they show clips of Armstrong/Saito from Mobile on 1/30/81. Jimmy Golden vs. Jimmy Jones (1/31/81) Squash. Then they show clips of Ron Fuller breaking Don Bass’ leg with the Fuller Leglock and Golden turning on him in Birmingham on 1/26/81. Golden is great on the stick and calls Charlie Platt a brown nosing jerk and a knob polisher. Million billion stars. Slam dunk extra. Ron Fuller sends a promo in where he vacates his Southeastern Heavyweight Title due to his injuries suffered by Jimmy Golden. (2/7/81) Paul Orndorff vs. Oki Shikina (2/7/81) Paul wins fairly easily. Then we clips of Austin/Orndorff vs. Condrey/Rose from Dothan on 2/6/81. Next we have a personality profile with Condrey, Rose, & Saito which is hilarious. Robert Gibson vs. Outlaw Ron Bass (2/7/81) Bass really works on Gibson’s left leg and when Gibson tries to fight back by running into the corner where Bass was at, he backdropped him over the top rope to the floor for the DQ. Bass then pounds on Gibson some more before he can finally get out of the ring.
