Posted March 6, 201312 yr comment_5538025 This starts with Jimmy Golden & Ron Fuller show up gloating about Golden being the new Southeastern champion beating Austin Idol. (12/22/84) Mr. Olympia (Jerry Stubbs) vs. Randy Barber (12/22/84) Barber gets in some offense here which rarely happened. Robert Fuller makes his return to TV after being out for a while and says that he is scaling back from wrestling due to injury issues and his disgust towards his brother & his cousin Jimmy Golden. Extra material. (12/22/84) Next we get promos by Arn, Golden, Idol, & Olympia. Southeastern Heavyweight Title: Jimmy Golden © vs. "Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol (12/22/84) Idol comes out to "The Kid Is Hot Tonight" by Loverboy and starts firing punches at Golden as soon as he enters the ring before going for the Las Vegas Leglock. Fuller immediately jumps on the apron so Idol brings him in and puts the leglock on Golden before all hell breaks loose as a fake Assassin attacks Idol and they put Stud's walking cane into Idol's throat. Mr. Olympia would finally make the save as Idol starts bleeding from the mouth and this was a hot angle. Definite extra. Then we get promos by Bullet & Ron Fuller. Bill Ash comes out whining about Scott Armstrong getting a shot at Denny Brown's NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Title then they show clips of Brown wrestling from JCP TV. Next is a personality profile featuring the Stud Stable gloating over injuring Idol followed up by Rick Stewart standing in front and eventually inside of a steel cage describing the dangers of the match which was cool. Olympia would then cut a promo about his cage match with Arn. Pat Rose & "Ravishing" Randy Rose vs. Porkchop Cash & Jason Walker (12/22/84) Chops is strong here but his partner not so much. Next we get promos by the Rat Patrol and the Rose's. Bob Armstrong comes out and they show what happened 2 weeks earlier when he replaced Idol against Golden and the war that went down there. Robert Fuller then shows up and says that he is taking Idol's bookings against Golden. Good stuff. Arn Anderson vs. Terry Ellis (12/22/84) Squash. Stud Stable then comes back out for more shit talking which would bring out Robert & Bullet again and Robert takes a shot at his brother. Good stuff. The next show starts with Ric Flair cutting a promo about his upcoming 90:00 time limit match with Bob Armstrong. The Rat Patrol (Steve Armstrong & Johnny Rich) vs. The Executioners (1/12/85) Man is this a sorry jobber team although I think one of them is Rocky King. Austin Idol then comes out with his axehandle Minerva talking about his throat injury. Olympia joins him and they go over clips of an Idol/Golden cage match. Then we get promos by Idol, Olympia, Stud, & Golden along with clips of a Golden/Robert Fuller cage match along with clips of a bloody Robert promo from the locker room which was awesome. Elimination Match: Porkchop Cash, Les Freeman, & Mr. Olympia vs. Arn Anderson, Bill Ash, & Jimmy Golden (1/12/85) This is actually structured like a Torneo Cibernetico which is interesting. This is a very fun all-action match with everyone looking good. Freeman goes out first naturally and we get a break where we missed Porkchop Cash's elimination leaving Olympia against all 3 heels. Olympia took out Ash and then Arn eliminated himself by leaving the ring thus leaving Olympia & Golden. Arn comes back out though and trips up Olympia but he fights back until Idol shows up with Minerva sending the heels running. Olympia would then hit a cross body block off the top rope to get the win. Very fun studio match here and I'm throwing this up as a low-end pick. Next we get promos by Ash & The Rose's along with Rat Patrol. Continental Heavyweight Title: Bullet Bob Armstrong © vs. The Assassin (Randy Barber) (1/12/85) Bullet KO's Stud early then just works over Assassin then referee Larry Brock took a shot allowing Stud to get a shot in on Bob with some knux. Assassin made the pin counted by the other referee but Bullet cradled Assassin and Larry Brock made the count. Mass confusion afterwards and Larry Brock walks out with the title holding the title up. Bullet is pissed afterwards. Next we get promos by Stud Stable, Bullet, & Chops. Charlie Platt then announces that next week the Continental title match will be redone. Decision Match for the vacant Continental Heavyweight Title: Bullet Bob Armstrong vs. The Assassin (Randy Barber) (1/19/85) DVD stops early in the match.
October 16, 201311 yr comment_5567497 The whole Ron Fuller get up is so over the top. No pun intended. I enjoyed Robert Fuller's return to t.v promo. The whole family dynamic is put over here. Extra. Southeastern Heavyweight Title: Jimmy Golden © vs. "Universal Heartthrob" Austin Idol This is a real strong angle and extra material. We should also have Idol's voice over on the angle that shows up on later on the disc. Extra Elimination Match: Porkchop Cash, Les Freeman, & Mr. Olympia vs. Arn Anderson, Bill Ash, & Jimmy Golden (1/12/85) They did this match for t.v to promote a 14 man elimination match at the arena. This was a strong workrate match with a fun Arn/Olympia story weaved in. I loved the way Olympia pinned Ash. The same way Ash pinned Cash with the feet on the ropes. Throughout the match Arn was avoiding Olympia. Finally Olympia is all by himself against the 3 heels. Olympia pins Ash and in the rules of the match gets to pick his opponent he chooses Arn. In a chicken shit move that even surprised me. Arn takes the count out loss. So now we have Olympia vs. Golden that is just a real hot finish. A solid nomination. Most of the stuff on the disc is entertaining. These are the things that stand out.
