Posted April 17, 201312 yr comment_5542323 The VQ here is horrible to start and it's classic late 90's tape trading VQ but this is extremely rare stuff. This starts with the birth of the Rat Patrol as Tonga Kid was in a box and a masked Scott Armstrong showed up to help Johnny Rich destroy Arn Anderson, Jerry Stubbs, & Sonny King. The Rat Patrol (Scott Armstrong & Tonga Kid) vs. Greg Cosco & "Hustler" Rip Rogers (6/9/84) Tennessee Stud is on commentary for this and this is the first Rat Patrol match on TV. Then we get promos from the Rat Patrol and Arn/Stubbs/Zuhkov. "Quick Draw" Rick McGraw vs. Paul Barnett (6/9/84) McGraw was getting a singles push here as the Alabama champion and he looked good. Next we get a promo from Stud whining about not getting a shot at Flair. Then we get a promo from Sonny King with Billy Spears coming out and this led to Sonny's guys leaving him and joining Spears because he is paying more money. They jumped Sonny and destroyed him which was the way to get him to Mid-South. Next we get a Personality Profile with Jimmy Golden about his matches with Flair. Tommy Gilbert vs. Steve Miller (6/9/84) Easy win for Gilbert. Next we get promos from Vic Rain, Tommy Gilbert, Rick McGraw, & Jacques Rougeau. Bullet Bob is out next for a promo on Stud. Arn Anderson, Jerry Stubbs, & Boris Zuhkov vs. Greg Cooley, Sonny King, & Jacques Rougeau (6/9/84) The original partner didn't show up so Sonny King took his spot. The match was fine for what it was in getting over the King angle. Then we get promos from Rip Rogers, Stud, Bob & Steve Armstrong, & Golden. Sonny King comes back out and cuts an insane promo on Billy Spears. Arn Anderson & Jerry Stubbs vs. Ted Allen & Jacques Rougeau (6/16/84) Always fun watching Arn & Ted work together since they were like brothers. Flair is here and he is on commentary verbally giving Arn a blowjob with the love affair beginning. Hard to watch due to the VQ but you see how good Arn & Stubbs were as a team. Next we get a promo from the Rat Patrol who are the new Southeastern tag champs with clips of the title change. Then we get promos from Arn, Stubbs, McGraw, & Rat Patrol. Boris Zuhkov vs. David Jones (6/16/84) Squash. Next we get promos from Spears, Arn, Stubbs, Zuhkov, & Gilbert. Rip Rogers is out next talking about his feud with Jacques Rougeau and their upcoming loser leaves town match. Then we get a promo from Rick Stewart and the heels in front of the van that is up for grabs in an upcoming tournament with a followup by Bullet Bob & Golden and The Lightning Express from Atlanta with Freddie Miller. Vic Rain is out next with his special boot talking about his battles with Jimmy Golden. Jimmy Golden vs. Dick Diamond (6/16/84) Dick Diamond is a great porn name. Flair is on commentary here then jumps Golden after the match but Golden would put the sleeper hold on him until Vic Rain made the save. Next we get promos from Gilbert, Rain, Golden, & McGraw. The Rat Patrol (Scott Armstrong & Tonga Kid) vs. Rick Raybon & "Hustler" Rip Rogers (6/16/84) They loved teaming Rogers with jobbers here. Stud comes out during the match angry about how Flair was treated on TV today. Then we get clips of Bullet Bob vs. Stud with Bullet Bob narrating. Next we get promos from Rip, Stud, Bullet Bob, & Rougeau. The Rat Patrol (Scott Armstrong & Tonga Kid) vs. Black Diamond & Boris Zuhkov (6/30/84) Fairly easy win for the Patrol and a promo afterwards. Then we get a video for Steve Armstrong who is making his debut soon set to some Bocephus and this is great stuff. Extra material if the VQ wasn't garbage. Next we get promos from Gilbert, Arn, Stubbs, & Rat Patrol.
