Southeastern Championship Wrestling August 1984 Part 1

Southeastern Championship Wrestling August 1984

Charlie Platt and Rick Stewart welcome us to the show

Jimmy Golden and Jim Backlund

"Managed by Mr. Billy Spears, Arn Anderson and Jerry Stubbs." - Stewart

Jimmy Golden and Jim Backlund vs Arn Anderson and Jerry Stubbs
Can you get any more sleazier than Bunkhouse Buck and Jimmy Del Ray on the same team? Awesome.

Anderson gets Backlund up

"Jimmy must have been up there 6 feet." - Stewart

Backlund took the nastiest backdrop ever here(see above). It sounded like a cannon when he hit the ring. Even the announcers and Stubbs thought it looked bad.

Spears goes after Idol verbally during the tag match
"You're through here my friend. I don't wanna catch you bringing trouble between my partner's again." - Spears

Stubbs tries to wake his partner up

Stubbs/Anderson get counted out and argue

Backlund/Golden win by countout. Backlund was awesome here. He bumped like a madman. Gotta love Gigolo Jimmy!

The Tonga Kid and the Rat Patrol cut a quick promo saying they will stay together and win together

"Rat Patrol, you will be split up and you will be leaving the ring in three different cars(ambulances)." - Spears

"Tag titles on the line, losing team will cease to exist." - Stewart
"We've all three invested a lot of time and money in this and this isn't something we'll lose with the drop of a hat." - Scott Armstrong

KINGFISH LIVINSKI - Greatest jobber name ever?

Boris Zurkov - What is he wearing on his head and why?

Boris Zurkov won here with a diving clothesline. Well, atleast they kept it quick and fast paced.

They said that this happened 3-4 hours after the broadcast. Idol vs Zurkov ends when Spears attacks Idol with scissors and a cane. Stubbs comes in to save Idol.

Arn Anderson demonstrates the art of the fireball

That was a top-10 all time fireball.

Al Scott vs The Ontario Mauler

The Ontario Mauler~!

Al Scott

The Ontario Mauler won this quick with an elbow and a pull of the tights. Not much here. Rating: DUD

"Porkchop Cash, making his first appearance. Welcome to the Southeast!" - Stewart
"I'm the man here to put things in line. You may have seen the best, but you never seen the greatest." - Cash

"This Porkchop Cash reminds me of Austin Idol. Mr. Black Soul, Black Style. Been on stage with Prince. This is the White Stallion." - Idol

"Boris Zurkov, you may think you are supreme but in America, we have freedom. I have the freedom to grab you by the neck and knock you into a steel post." - Idol

"Just like the color of your hair, you're yellow Austin Idol." - Zurkov

This promo is so funny. Boris forgets to do his Russian accent the whole time during this promo and accidently speaks in his real voice.

"Just hang on a minute." - Anderson on the phone

"Here lately, it seems like you(Stubbs) lost your priorities. Signing autographs and kissin' babies ain't what puts this gold around your neck. I'll tell you what did it, being hungry."
"When I was young, my cousin taught me one thing. Win if you can, lose if you must, but always kick somebodies butt." - Arn Anderson

"They say in the upcoming match, the losing team splits. Well, let's take it one step further. The loser of the fall leaves, adios. Can you do that Arn Anderson? Do you think you are better than I am? Ha." - Jerry Stubbs

Mike Thor

Porkchop Cash vs Mike Thor

Cash won this quickly with a headbutt.

Mr. Wrestling 1 & 2 came down to complain about not getting a match.

"Shut up and let me finish." - Mr. Wrestling

Bob Armstrong and Steve Armstrong

Bob Armstrong and Steve Armstong vs Tommy Gilbert and Paul Brown

Bob won this won easy with an elbow, but the Wrestling's attacked after. they rammed Bob into a chair and the Rat Patrol made the save.

"I might have a knot on my head but before this match is over, they gonna have knots all over they body. If they wanna play with chairs, we'll play musical chairs. I'll make 'em a C-Flat brother. " - Bob

"Remember flight 007? They come down in our backyard. I'm gonna make a communist out of you, Idol." - Boris Zurkov

Idol then promised to jam his fist down Zurkov's throat and said that he will win for himself and the people.

Overall thoughts: The usual good stuff from Southeastern. Tons of good promos here and I liked seeing Jimmy Del Ray and Mr. Wrestling 1 & 2. No Fuller's though which was surprising. Check it out!

Southeastern December 1984 Part 2

Southeastern December 1984 Part 2

"Welcome to Southeastern Television Wrestling. Alot of great action comin' your way on television today." - Platt

"I never thought that I'd live to see the day where I'm happy to have Ron Fuller on my side."
"You see Armstrong, when you get beat and that Continental title's not there anymore, Ric Flair doesn't have to wrestle ya." - Flair 

"You lose the Continental title, you lose the shot with Ric Flair for the World's Heavyweight Championship. So Ron Fuller, you better know that Ric Flair is gonna be on the phone real quick now, to hear the news, that Bob Armstong went down."

"Armstrong, I don't like you and Ron Fuller is gonna do professional wrestling a great service. You don't deserve a shot at the World Heavyweight Champion, you don't deserve a shot at the Contintental Heavyweight Champion, you don't deserve nothin'." - Flair

"Go get 'em Ronnie Fuller. Bob Armstrong, later daddy, 1..2..3. Woo!" - Flair

The Executioners vs Johnny Rich/Scott Armstong(Rat Patrol)

Scott won here with diving lariat off the second rope. Pretty easy squash here.

"The reason the axe handle is with me is because I'm not going anywhere without it. Even if I take a shower, Minerva(the axe handle) is coming with me." - Idol
"I felt like I was Shish-Kabob'd" - Idol on last week's beating by the Stud Stable

"When you are hurling and gurgling your own blood, it's a horrifying experience. To see something like that, it leaves chills up my spine. It makes me want to take this axe and bash someone upside their head." - Idol

"I know it's hard for you to come out and talk about what happened, but it's a proven fact that we are going to have to stick together and watch each others back's because we know someone can get hurt and make never return again." - Mr. Olympia

Southeastern either never had a tripod or wrestled in the crooked house.

Anderson gets the fireball ready

"Now it's a different story when it's 2 on 2" - Olympia
Idol gets the cane

Fuller enters with a cane

"Either you go with Fuller's Flunkies or Austin's Army." - Idol

The Fuller's could book, but they couldn't spell.

"Friday Night, I'm gonna bash your brains in." - Idol

"I'm gon' be like the Pied Piper out there. It's gon' be like the Great Match. We gon' be walkin', we gon' be talkin'. Everybody gon' be lined up behind the Tennessee Stud, because we gon' be marchin' into that Armory in Selma and marchin' out of town victorious." - Ron Fuller

"This was a real small work out for Jimmy Golden. Look at that dog between my legs, the dog that he is. You know what's a matter with him? He's been drinkin' beer, eatin' donuts, sittin on the couch watchin' tee-vee. He's fat and he's out of shape and he didn't have a prayer." - Golden on Rob Fuller

"I whipped that boy from end of the ring to the other, mashed his fat little face through the wire like hamburger meat. Rob Fuller's trash, he's washed up and he can stay at home and be retired, because he ain't nothin' but a geek. He's always been a wimp. He ain't a wrestler." - Golden
"He's not a man, he's a rat. He's all washed up and back in the garbage can where he belongs." - Golden

We then went to Rob Fuller after the cage match:

"I want everybody to take a look at me."

"I'm a bum. I ain't the eye of the storm, I'm the calm of the storm. I'm as bad as you'll see Robert Fuller ever get. "

"I ain't retired, I'll be BACK. You talk about ego? YOU GON' SEE IT IN THIS BODY. YOU HEARD IT." - Fuller

Do I even need to tell you how good this promo was? It's on youtube and it's outstanding. Some of the best promo work ever.

Elimination match - Winner of the fall picks next opponent: Arn Anderson, Jimmy Golden and Bill Ash vs Porkchop Cash, Les Freeman and Mr. Olympia:

Golden eats an atomic drop

"Wait a minute, now's the situation, nobody wants to tag, but somebodies got to." - Stewart

Ash got the first elimination by pinning Freeman with a neckbreaker. Ash then pinned Cash with his foot on the ropes during the break. They promised to show it but didn't. Liars.

Olympia returns the favor to Ash

Arn Anderson then eliminated himself by not entering the ring after being chosen!

"Here comes Austin Idol and Minerva." - Stewart

Olympia gets the win with a top rope body press! Really good match. This was super heated and they worked the rules to their full potential. Rating:***

"We got to watch each other's back, especially in an elimination with 14 men." - Bob
"We got alot at stake, $20,000, this big beautiful trophy and personal issues." - Idol

"We got young kids, young punks runnin' around here callin' themselves the Rat Patrol. What you got right here is the Rat Exterminators Inc. Selma's got alot of rats that need taken care of." - Ash
"We look good with or without the belts, stylin' in our jeans and jackets, all the girls walk down." - Pat Rose

Continental Title - Bob Armstrong vs The Assassin(I spell it correctly):

Fuller takes a cheapshot with something in his hands

Who's the winner?

The Assassin pinned Bob but then Bob pushed the Assassin off onto the ref. Then the other ref counted for Bob to pin the Assassin.

The ref ruled both guys counted out and the title held up. Assassin = Loser, Armstrong = Loser, Flair = Winner.

"We did it, we did it. Armstrong, you ain't gonna get no title match cause' my Assassin defeated you in the ring. Now they probably gonna hold the belt up and you're out of the picture. I can't wait to talk to Ric Flair! Ric Flair's gonna love it!." - Ron

"I feel so good today Rick, I could kiss you." - Cash
"Please don't." - Stewart
"I'm a put somethin' on Arn Anderson than Ajax won't even take off 'em." - Cash

They announced Assassin vs Bob next week for the title. Ron Fuller was mad and rightfully so. Assassin did get the first pin.

Overall thoughts: Another strong show. The promos in this were awesome and they really pump you up for the upcoming shows. The Stud's were great jerks, Rob Fuller cut an all-time classic promo and the 6-man was great. Check it out!
