Southeastern Championship Wrestling August 1984 Part 2

Southeastern Championship Wrestling August 1984 Part 2

"Putting us on the first match? Whoever heard of such a thing. I told you, we're gonna take things in our hands and you just wait and see." - Mr. Wrestling 1 and 2

Tonga Kid and Johnny Rich vs Tommy Gilbert and Steve Miller

Gilbert goes out after he trips off a headlock. I believe he got legitimately injured here.

Scott Armstrong gets involved, WHY? and he doesn't get DQ'd! WHY?

1 and 2 get involved and drive Tonga Kid's shoulder into the post along with hitting Scott with a flapjack. Then, the ref DQ's Miller/Gilbert.

The Rat Patrol won here by DQ. This was pretty stupid booking. Sorry, but Tonga deserved that one. By the way, both announcers keep saying the "The Tonka Kid", which is annoying.

"We want that card changed. We(Bob/Johnny) want a shot at Wrestling 1 and 2. You're foolin' with the wrong guys. You hurt one of our guys and now you are getting a title shot." - Johnny Rich cutting a dumb promo

"We ain't starin' at the top floor. We wanna know what the big boys eat. I start at the top and ride down the elevator." - Randy Rose

"You lost for words, boy?"
"We got rid of one of the rats and now we'll get rid of more." - Mr Wrestling

"You've heard of Catch-as-Catch-can wrestling, he is Catch-as-Catch-can-Anywhere outside of the ring wrestling." - Platt

Randy Rose vs Les Freeman

"Get up, Boy" - Rose

Freeman got shoot taken down into the corner which totally looked like it sucked.

Rose picks him up at 2

LARIATOOOOO

Rose got the win here with a lariat in a decent squash. Rose was pretty rough here.

"I'm fired up and everybodies fired up. One person who's fired up is peahead Jerry Stubbs and now he's a parched peanut." - Arn

"Bob Armstrong, remember me? Bad Blood runs deep, don't forget." - Rose

Paul Brown

The chopper gettin' down

Porkchop Cash vs Paul Brown

Scott Armstrong came down during this. He announced that The Tonga Kid's collarbone is broken and that his brother Steve will come to help the Rat Patrol. They also mentioned the upcoming debut of Lord Humongous.

BUTT BUMP~!

Cash won this with a butt bump and what looked like a flying rake to the eyes, although they called it a headbutt.

"The loser of the fall would leave town, correct?" - Stewart
"Well, it wasa gentleman's agreement, and I was the only gentleman." - Anderson on his loss with Stubbs against the Rat Patrol in a losing team splits match.

"As you see, once again, who beat me? My own partner." - Arn
"People don't want me to leave." - Arn

"He hit me, I hit him. You wanna dance? Put your 50 cents in the jukebox." - Arn
"If I wanna parch this peanut, it's my own decision." - Arn

HAHAHA. Southeast didn't want to show the effects of the fireball, or they filmed this before it happened and so they decided to replace Stubbs' head with a big red dot.

Arn then said, "Stubbs can do what he wants to. He can join the circus. He already looks like Bozo".

Idol breaks Billy Spears' leg and sends him packing out of the territory

"No question about it, this is an agricultural area. And I wanna make sure everybody knows that if it wasn't for the American farmer, Russia wouldn't even be able to feed its population."
 "Without the American farmer, Russia would never be." - Idol

"I'm gonna drive him out of this country." - Austin Idol

Jimmy Golden vs Richard Dunn
Charlie announced that the Rat Patrol will face the Wrestling's. Golden won in a minute here with a grounded sleeper then someone came to attack:

Golden seems to think it's Vic Reign

Tommy Gilbert in a PWI shirt with the Ontario Mauler.

"Walk in here, Jimmy Golden. Feel the dirt."
"I'm gonna rip your face apart, but I'm going to do it nicely." - The Ontario Mauler, WTF?

"I don't know who this space cadet is, but I'll know your beak off in Birmingham." - Golden

Austin Idol vs Jimmy Backlund
Idol won this one super quick with the Figure Four Leglock. There was literally nothing to take pics of here.

"We did what we set out to do. We got rid of the little foreign boy with the greasy hair." - The Wrestling's
"We don't care how many rats you got, because you ain't got enough of them. We are the exterminators and that's what we will do." - The Wrestling's

"What you are, are a bunch of backstabbin' dougboys that stuck yourself in a place you don't belong." - Scott Armstrong

Overall thoughts: This was so-so. This is one of the transitional periods that territories used to go through. Old faces go and new faces arrive. Some for the good like The Wrestling's and some for the worse like Zurkov. Skip this one.

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!
