(BUSTER) Goldmine #3

This disc is like a flashback to me as all of this comes from Superstars of Wrestling the Joe Pedicino Saturday night show on Atlanta TV. Too bad we get extremely little of the Pedicino stuff himself but there are some great old Atlanta commercials here.

 

Chris Von Colt & "Hustler" Rip Rogers vs. Dr. Tom Prichard & "Exotic" Adrian Street (1/26/87)

 

Brenda Britton is working with Adrian here as he won her services in a match. Okay match with Street being fun as the FIP but man did Colt just not fit here. Prichard dropped to the floor when Street tried to tag him and he hit Miss Linda then took a payoff from Brenda Britton leaving Street alone to get beat.

 

Then we get a promo from Larry Hamilton, Street, Prichard, & Rogers afterwards.

 

"Luscious" Robert Fuller & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Golden vs. Mike Fever & Polynesian Warrior (1/26/87)

 

Squash.

 

The Dirty White Boys (Tony Anthony & Len Denton) vs. "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley & "Thunderbolt" Larry Hamilton (1/26/87)

 

Cooley & Hamilton look good at the start working well together and the fans are hot for them. DWB's would use their tag smarts to isolate Cooley which started the FIP section as they used double-teams and quick tags to work him over. Cooley would get the hot tag after a double collision and Hamilton would run wild hitting some big offense including his flying back elbow and a reverse slam but a Denton cheap shot would allow Anthony to get the pin. Fun match but not enough for a nomination.

 

Solie starts the next show with a recipe sent in by a fan called Wrestling Stew which included all the names in the area and it's pretty cute. (6/2/86)

 

Frankie "The Thumper" Lancaster vs. "Mr. Perfect" Jerry Stubbs (6/2/86)

 

Stubbs coming out to Addicted To Love is awesome. Lancaster was a heel before this but he wanted to prove himself against Stubbs. Lancaster shows up Stubbs early which pisses him off. Solie talking about his good friend Snake Brown saying that Lancaster had a great future in the business was fantastic. Stubbs keeps getting shown up so he wants a handshake but Lancaster wants none of it so he eats a clothesline to the ear. Stubbs sends him to the floor then kicks his ass a little bit before bringing it back to the ring where he tries to finish off Frankie with a brainbuster but Frankie locks in an inside cradle to get the upset win. Stubbs then demands afterwards that he wants Lancaster around the horn in matches where if Lancaster lasts 5 minutes with him he gets $500. Decent match with a fun ending.

 

Cooley is out next with a dummy wearing a dress which is the one he is going to put on Street.

 

Loser Wears A Dress: "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley vs. "Exotic" Adrian Street (6/2/86)

 

Cooley jumps Street on the floor and takes it to him outside the ring before bringing it inside where he kept up the pressure. This is basically a squash as Cooley is just beating Street from pillar to post working like a madman even attacking the referee. Miss Linda would throw something in Cooley's eyes which gave Street the chance he needed to take control and he did. Cooley came back quickly though and got the bulldog to get the win before going to the floor where he got the dress. Cooley goes to put the dress on Street but Linda nailed him with a crutch and Street would go on the attack where he would put the dress on Cooley. Street then calling Cooley a closet case with Solie afterwards was great. This is extra material.

 

Bullet is out next for a promo about The Flame where they show clips of a match between them.

 

Texas Tornado Match for the Southeastern Tag Titles: "Luscious" Robert Fuller & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Golden © vs. Steve Armstrong & "Wildfire" Tommy Rich (6/2/86)

 

Yeah this is a wild brawl right from the start with the Studs bumping all over the place. The tide would turn and the faces would then get the shit kicked out of them for a while and this is some really good action. The match just keeps getting better as it goes on with everyone just going to town on each other and then Dr. Tom sprayed ether on a cloth which put out Rich leaving Steve to get beat 2-on-1. Bill Tabb who was at ringside jumped in and the Studs took care of him then Prichard gave him a piledriver on the floor. Prichard jumped in and Ron West has seen enough as Steve is just juicing heavily with Rich joining right in. Dr. Ben Casey makes his debut here and cleans house on the Studs. Very fun match with a great ending and this is a solid nomination.

 

The Storm Trooper vs. Rick Keller (December 1988)

 

This guy is in full Nazi regalia while a Nazi anthem plays him to the ring and this is wild to see.

 

Doug Furnas vs. The Count (December 1988)

 

Squash.

 

Willie B. Hert vs. Terry Adonis (December 1988)

 

Squash with Black Bart doing commentary and he brawls with Willie B. afterwards.

 

Solie starts the next show interviewing Scott Armstrong and we get Solie interviewing The Wild Bunch (Jonathan Boyd, Mike Golden, & Dr. Tom Prichard) in the locker room. Solie takes the US Jr. Heavyweight Title away from Golden per the Continental officials.

 

Alabama Heavyweight Title: The Bullet vs. Jonathan Boyd (7/6/87)

 

Bullet would get control early but Boyd would lock on an iron claw which almost put Bullet away but he fired back with punches to break free before the action would go to the floor. Bullet would lock on the sleeper which would bring out Mike Golden who attacked Bullet for the DQ. Dr. Tom would run out and it's 3-on-1 until Scott Armstrong and a guy in full camoflauge runs out attacking the heels unmasking to reveal Steve Armstrong.

 

Dirty Dutch Mantell vs. Burrhead Jones (7/6/87)

 

Dutchman coming out to Ghost Riders In The Sky is great. Total squash.

 

Next we get clips of Dutch/Cooley from the week before in a Bullwhip on a Pole match with a promo by Dutch to follow.

 

"Luscious" Robert Fuller & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Golden vs. John & Tim Hardy (7/6/87)

 

These Hardy's damn sure ain't Matt & Jeff.

 

Southern Street Fight: Mr. Olympia vs. "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony (7/6/87)

 

Olympia attacks DWB in the entrance way but then he puts DWG in the way to cheapshot him. DWB would grab a crutch and nailed Olympia with it numerous times before taking it to the floor. Olympia would make a comeback and he would use the crutch himself to bust open DWB then pulled out a chain and used it to further open up the cut. DWB would fight back and threw Olympia into the referee then took off his boot but Olympia came flying off the top rope with a big cross body block to get the win. DWB used the boot though afterwards and cleaned Olympia's clock then ripped the mask up where he would open him up. The mask is completely ripped and DWB just beats Olympia bloody but Olympia wants more and more which DWB gives it to him. Olympia eventually gets some shots in but DWB was too much for him. The match itself was good enough but the brawling afterwards was great and puts this over the top as a solid nomination.
