Mid-South Coliseum, Memphis, TN

1) The Mongolian Stomper & Stomper Jr. defeated The Dream Machine & The Canadian Spoiler at 10:34 when Mongolian Stomper hit the running boot on the Canadian Spoiler.

2) ”Superstar” Bill Dundee fought Adrian Street (w/ Miss Linda) to a double count-out at 8:56 when the two fight through the crowd.

3) One Man Gang pinned Jos LeDuc at 11:33 when he connected with the 747 on the big Canadian Lumberjack.

4) The Wild-Eyed Southern Boys: Tracy Smothers & Steve Armstrong defeated The Moondogs: Spot & Rex (w/ Jimmy Hart & Big Bubba Rogers) in 20:11 when Smothers hit the super kick on Rex. This match went all over the ringside area, with the Southern Boys finally scoring a win.

*The Southern Boys were celebrating after the match – when none other than Tommy Gilbert and Phil Hickerson jumped the rail and attacked them! Big Bubba Rogers joined in and busted open both Armstrong and Smothers, until all the babyfaces ran down to clear them out!





INTERMISSION

5) Dutch Mantell pinned The Dirty White Boy at 9:24 with a shoulder-breaker. Mantell found himself surprised by the amount of cheers her was receiving once again. He was distracted by it after the match, allowing the White Boy to jump him and lay him out with the Bucksnort Blaster.

6) Southern Tag Team Champions The Rock n’ Roll Express: Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson wrestled to a draw with The First Family: Adrian Adonis & Rick Rude (w/ Jimmy Hart & Big Bubba Rogers) at 25:00.

7) CWA Heavyweight Champion Jake “The Snake” Roberts (w/ One Man Gang) defeated King Kong Bundy at 12:35 with a DDT. Bundy was attacked in the aisle before the match by First Family bodyguard Big Bubba Rogers at the direction of Jimmy Hart. Rogers busted Bundy open by tossing him into the rail and throwing him in the ring for the Snake. Roberts took advantage and worked over Bundy, with Bundy eventually making a comeback. The dazed Bundy eventually missed an Avalanche and fell victim to the DDT.

It's going to be hard to take the title from Jake. The tag team draw was exciting and Gilbert and Hickerson sure sent a message. Great Monday night in Memphis.

It was I on the front row leading the Dutch chants by the way. The tobacco spitting grannies were hesitant at first but all that chest hair and fair play won them over. Ricky and Robert are the luckiest champions on the planet, had Jimmy Hart been granted his requested 30 minute time limit we would have new tag team champions. I still love that pairing, well worth the price of admission. And I'm with Tom, having put the King himself on the shelf and then pinning Bundy clean, the DDT is as over as the piledriver at this point. I predict a Piledriver vs DDT challenge headlining MSC sometime this Spring. Great work bud.

Peace

The Good Ol' Boys ride again!!!!

Interesting to see Dutch turning face again, esp with Lawler on the shelf, he would be a great help against the Devil's Triangle.

The time limit draw would have been allot of fun.

Jake just got put over like a million bucks, Jeff is right, you have made the DDT an ultimate finisher. Good work!
