Posted February 17, 200817 yr comment_5428208 A great Soul Train Jones video. He is clearly based on Apoollo creed from Rocky. Goto/Tojo/Burton vs. Jarrett/Tanaka/Travis Good while it lasted. Bockwinkle does a good promo. He comes across great as a World champ. Idol/Rich just destroy Lawler and rupture his testicle. This is a possible extra. They show a nice piece of business with the Fabs and Sheepherders(Miller/Williams) from Florida. Jonathon Boyd just cuts a great, believable promo. He is so awesome on the stick. Smothers is Boy Tony's valet for the day. It's basically Smothers doing chores around the house. Smothers does put soap in the food for Boy Tony for revenge. The Fabs chase the Sheepherders out of the studio. Jarrett/Travis vs. Tojo/Goto The faces control early with some solid arm work. Too short to see if was going to be good. Tojo cuts a great racist promo on Soul Train Jones. Tojo says their are 2 things Goto can't do to Jones. First, he can't give him a black eye. Secondly, he can't give Jones a puffy lip. Hales does an interview with Lawler's doctor. No matches of note.

Secondly, he can't give Jones a puffy lip.I would argue that this should be an extra depending on how many variations of dudes cutting the same promo we can find. I know Lawler (as a babyface) said it in a promo on Kamala.
March 15, 200817 yr comment_5429482 Downtown Bruno & Emily Arthur (who was a “fan” pulled out) cut promos about their feud. (12/27/86) Loser wears panties: Paul Diamond, Jeff Jarrett, Tracy Smothers, & Billy Travis vs. Boy Tony, Jonathan Boyd, Tom Burton, & Tojo Yamamoto (12/27/86) Short but fun heated brawl that would end in a no contest when everyone wouldn’t quit fighting. The Rock n Roll RPM’s (Mike Davis & Tommy Lane) talk about their upcoming match with Jarrett/Travis at MSC on 12/29/86. (12/27/86) Next we get a video for Soul Train Jones (Virgil) to Living in America by James Brown and this is a definite extra. (1/3/87) They show highlights of Lawler/Rich with an Idol promo before the match that kickstarts one of the hottest feuds ever. Slam dunk extra. (1/3/87) RPM’s come out and talk about being stripped of the Southern Tag Titles on 12/29/86 at MSC (1/3/87) Jeff Jarrett, Pat Tanaka, & Billy Travis vs. Tony Burton, Tarzan Goto, & Tojo Yamamoto (1/3/87) This ends in a TV draw. Next we get highlights of Lawler/Rich and Lawler/Idol from MSC on 1/12/87 with the crotching the ringpost angle. Randy Hales then interviews Idol & Rich but gets shoved out and this is definite extra material. Then they show highlights of a Fabs/Sheeps (Butch & Luke) match in Florida to set up a Memphis feud and then they show a video of Fabs/Sheeps (Boyd & Morgan). (1/17/87) Soul Train Jones comes out with his newly won International Heavyweight Title and Lance pimps his fan club. Bruno and his crew then come out to say that Jones stole the title. (1/10/87) Then we get Tracy Smothers working as a valet for Boy Tony & Downtown Bruno and this is a definite extra. (1/10/87) The Sheepherders (Butch Miller & Luke Williams) jump Jeff Jarrett & Billy Travis after a squash match and this is great. (1/10/87) Boyd and the Sheeps come out trying to take over the show and then after a squash the Fabs show up and they have a wild brawl that goes out into the parking lot. Then they show more stuff from Florida. Fabs want to burn the New Zealand flag but Marlin says they can’t do it in the studio due to a fire hazard. Definite extra. (1/17/87) Jeff Jarrett & Billy Travis vs. Tarzan Goto & Tojo Yamamoto (1/17/87) Jarrett & Travis come out wearing their newly won Southern Tag Titles. The match doesn’t go long before Soul Train & RPM’s get involved. Tojo & Goto come out and Tojo says that the only thing Goto can’t give Soul Train is a fat lip and a black eye. Gotta love Tojo. (1/17/87) Daughters of Darkness (The Lock & Luna Vachon) make their TV debut and terrorize everyone including Randy Hales. (1/17/87) Big Bubba, Boy Tony, Goliath, & Downtown Bruno vs. Paul Diamond, Ed Mattox, John Paul, & Tracy Smothers (1/17/87) Not long before this turns into an all out fight and Bubba gets the pin on Mattox. Randy Hales interviews Lawler’s doctor about his “surgery.” (1/17/87)

I know Lawler (as a babyface) said it in a promo on Kamala. The best version of this is the Troy T. Tyler (Dream Machine) promo from Knoxville in 1980 about Sugar Bear Harris (Kamala). It trumps it all.
