Posted September 4, 200520 yr comment_3348904 I was watching some Memphis from 1984 and Eddie Gilbert and Tommy Rich were introduced as the Fabulous Ones. Now, I was always under the impression that Stan Lane and Steve Keirn were the original Fabulous Ones. Guess not. So, were there any other incarnations of this team? Also, when we were participating in the tag team tournament, I refused to vote when it came to Fabulous Ones matchups. What matches should I look for? What famous feuds were they part of?

September 5, 200520 yr Author comment_3351748 One of our posters sent me this information and I thought it was good enough to post the message. When Lane and Keirn left Memphis, Jerry Jarrett was irate over it, and wanted to back at them by showing that the fans would have accepted anyone in that Fabulous Ones role, and so put Gilbert and Rich together as the 'New' Fabulous Ones. They didn't get over, so were broken up in short order. And, as TC said, their break up angle was tremendous.
