Posted June 3, 200817 yr comment_5431970 Fargo + Lane v. Moondogs We have this a bunch of places Interview with Moondogs in the hospital Highights of Patera in Worlds strongest man contest Patera squash from AWA, Patera interview from AWA were he talks about collecting Andy Kaufman bounty Kaufman interview about Patera Grapplers brawl with Rock and Roll Express Lawler and Dundee talking about their LLT we have this other places Andy Kaufman interview setting up the Hart v. Kaufman match Lawler v. Hart + Kaufman We have this stuff other places in better VQ Lawler v. Jeff Van Kamp Kamp throws Lawler around a bit at the beginning until Lawler takes it a little more serious and catches him with a sunset flip Highlights of Idol+ Fabs with Moondogs+ Eaton in a cage, this is where the Dogs turn on Eaton and Koko makes the save Idol/Lawler/Eaton/Koko v. Jimmy Kent/Don Bass/Man Mountain Link Fun match which got to see the faces do a bunch of their shitick Grapplers v. Rock and Roll Express Fun but really short Highlights of Joe LeDuc Lawler talks about Randy Savage setting up the cage match Savage cuts a promo on Lawler Both of those could be set ups for the cage match Savage invades the studio, this is the Savage debut, obvious extra, VQ isn't great do we have this elsewhere? Grapplers + Bruise Brothers v. Jaguar + Dutch Mantel + Koko Ware + Bobby Eaton 12/10/83 This was fun Jimmy Hart runs in to quell dissension to end the first fall, we get a second fall. I enjoy Ken Wayne fake Tiger Mask stuff, and man can Porkchop take a backdrop, Koko also takes the Waltman corner bump, long all action second fall, and I think this goes on the block. Highlights of a Condrey v. Dutch Mantell brawl, Mantell gets beaten on by the MX
July 24, 200817 yr comment_5433228 Patera in World’s Strongest Man is definite extra material. Grapplers make their debut in the studio destroying jobbers and the RnR Express. Fun stuff. (5/14/83) Jerry “The King” Lawler vs. Jeff Van Kamp (7/9/83) This is a fun match with the future Lord Humongous using his strength to play around with Lawler before Lawler decides to win the match. “Universal Heartthrob” Austin Idol, “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton, Jerry “The King” Lawler, & Stagger Lee vs. Don Bass, Jimmy Kent, Rick Link, & Duke Myers (7/9/83) What a babyface team and they are awesome here. The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. The Grapplers (Tony Anthony & Len Denton) (12/10/83) Short but fun. Next we get the LeDuc video that they always air when he comes into Memphis. Then we get the buildup for the Lawler/Savage cage match and this is all definite extra material especially Macho showing up at the studio for the first time. 2 out of 3 falls: The Bruise Brothers (Porkchop Cash & Dream Machine) & The Grapplers (Tony Anthony & Len Denton) vs. “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton, The Jaguar (Ken Wayne), Dirty Dutch Mantell, & Stagger Lee (12/10/83) To prove that there are no problems in the family, Hart tells the Moondogs to stay in the back and wants the Grapplers to team with the Bruisers here since they are wrestling each other on Monday. After some good action in the 1st fall sure enough there is dissension in the ranks after some miscommunication prompting a DQ when Hart jumps in the ring to stop them. The 2nd fall was much better than the 1st one as the action gets even better with everyone looking good taking all kinds of big bumps. This should move forward. Between falls of this match, Dutch comes out for a promo on Condrey and talks about a fight he had with Savage back when they were working in Georgia brawling on I-20 and that is fucking great.
