“He tells The Union-Tribune: “I’d go out there and do it in two seconds,” ”

Hopefully he’s talking about how long the match would be. I don’t think Oldberg is the draw he used to be.

Scathing, Scott!!! You left out Ultimate Warrior when naming the money-grubbers, though…

I always found the nick name “SOLD-Berg” to be perfect for Dollar Bill as well.

Comment on Anatomy of an angle: Robert Fuller’s last stand in Memphis leads to Tupelo concession-stand brawl by John K

That 1979 set is fantastic. I like a lot of the Southeastern stuff but never really dug the Fullers in Memphis, for some reason. They seemed to do better stuff in their own promotion.

Speaking of Cornette and the Midnights…I was actually at the very first teaming of Lane and Eaton as the Midnights. It was in Boston, of all places, during the NWA’s debut at the Boston Garden. They took on the Road Warriors and I was really surprised to see Lane come out. Flair-Windham was the main event of that show.

Gorgeous J.R. struggled mightily, but managed to remember his full promo without cue cards, instantly making him better on the mic than half the current WWE roster.

“For over a month, the territory centered around qualifying matches for a Memorial Day tournament in which the winner would receive the keys to…a brand-new…van.”

Snort. Nice to see they kept up the fabulous prizes a year later when Koko got his TV title. Looking forward to what you cook up with Cornette.

I think Landel winning the belt and the Horesmen dumping Flair in favor of the new champ could have been a hot angle in October 1986 and an excellent way to turn Slick Ric babyface following Magnum’s accident. I think that would have been way better than the Nikita babyface turn. Flair challenging Landel as the main event of Starrcade ‘86 would have done quite well, but of course, Buddy was long gone by then.

Without a doubt one of the great “What Ifs” of wrestling out of the 80s. Right up with the Magnum TA wreck and if the Tommy Rich/Buzz Sawyer feud hadn’t gone on longer than (some felt) it should have.
