Look at all the greats and future greats just on this episode, Lance and Dave, Dutch, Dundee, Ultimate Warrior, Sting, Steve Keirn, Sherri Martel, Dr. Tom, Phil Hickerson, Koko B. Ware, Jerry Lawler, the Fantastics, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes...We had it good and didn't appreciate it until it was gone.
Phil hickerson could legitimately kick everybody’s ass on the current wwe roster.
A little trivia, that's the Ultimate Warrior and Sting that walk out with Eddie Marlin after he takes the bumps.
Dundee was a midget with a big mouth, I know, I drank beer with him after his matches in Jonesboro back in the day. Love the midget!!! He put on a great show!
Phil Hickerson and KoKo Ware "gonna do the bird all over em!"
Koko had a crazy ass dropkick
They should have done more whit sting and the warrior in Memphis
Dutch forgot to take his sweater before the match. That's why he's sweating so much.
Bill and Jerry was working a Angle after work
I never New scary sherry had the heavenly bodies for a team
I know Jerry Lawler went to work for the WWF Vince McMahon destroyed the I haven't watch the wrestling match in over 25 years and never watch another one except for these on UA-cam because Vince McMahon destroyed wrestling as we once knew it it will never be the same
Well when was his prime……….? 1932 or something.
Dutch Mantell got dem dozenz
They didn't even book Flair strong a week before Starrcade 85
Dusty teamed with Magnum and Lawler against the Andersons and Tully Blanchard in a street fight on the same card with Flair vs. Koko.
Koko was the champion and Flair the NWA champ. He was originally booked with Dundee, but for some reason, prob his dislike of Flairs thinking he was above everyone, Dundee dropped the belt to Koko the Saturday before so it would be Flair-Koko. The next weekend, Koko dropped it back to Dundee.
@@JackBarrett7 It might also have been for another reason that Dundee dropped the belt to Koko. Prior to Dundee winning the Southern Heavyweight Championship, Lawler had it and he and Dundee were a tag team. As the angle went, Lawler and Dundee were in the studio being interviewed by Lance Russell, and Dundee just went on a tear about how he and Lawler could "whip" any tag team, specifically naming the Road Warriors and the Fabulous Ones. After Dundee's promo, the Fabs came out and responded to his claims about being able to beat them, which then saw Lawler and Dundee come back out for a confrontation. However, during that confrontation it was obvious that Lawler didn't want the two teams to have a problem with one another because they were both "fan favorites." Dundee kept getting more and more frustrated and finally snapped when Lawler explained to him that the Fabs, being holders of the Southern Tag Championships, were for this reason the best tag team in the area. Lawler then declared the same about himself as a singles wrestler since he was then in possession of the Southern Heavyweight Championship, to which Dundee responded by throwing a punch at Lawler, Keirn, and Lane (primarily caused also by Lawler having just declared he no longer wanted to be Dundee's partner because of his attitude) and then taking off running to the back. Later, on the same episode, Lawler was goaded into putting his belt on the line against Dundee during the television broadcast, which Dundee won by using a chain while the ref wasn't looking. Within about a month it was already slated that Ric Flair was coming to town to defend the World Championship against the holder of the Southern Championship. I am sure, although I don't know with certainty, that Lawler, who didn't want to lose yet another World Title match as he had done before with Nick Bockwinkle, was ok with dropping the Southern Title to Dundee....but as soon as that happened, it was the big "no-no" for the Memphis territory, which did not like to pit babyface vs babyface, and even worse, in this new scenario, a heel vs heel match between Dundee and Flair. Dundee had just made his heel turn and Flair didn't like working babyface, especially since he was in a current NWA feud with Dusty Rhodes. So, the promotion decided to allow Dundee to drop the belt to Koko Ware (since Lawler wasn't interested in losing another World Title match and would have been the more conventional choice to face Flair as the top babyface), figuring that because Ware was a pretty solid worker, he and Flair could have a good match. But in case Koko couldn't draw or make fans "buy in" to the story of him vs Flair for the World Championship, they kept his feud with Dundee going and had Dundee in Flair's corner and with the star power that Dusty Rhodes brought with him, and Rhodes being in Koko's corner, this was a home run in terms of ANY babyface besides Lawler being in the main event to work with Flair. The Koko/Flair match was nearly twenty-five minutes...and his style definitely worked better with Flair than Dundee's would have. But Dundee vs. Flair would not have been the draw that Koko was, although Dundee was higher on the food chain at that point than Koko, simply because Memphis didn't seem to like the unconventional "heel vs heel" matchup. Had Flair come in to work Dundee, Memphis had just turned Dundee heel a month before that. And it would have necessitated that Flair worked as a babyface. But Flair was not then working as a babyface, and had a huge heel program going against Dusty who was a major babyface,. So Flair would have had to turn baby coming into Memphis, and immediately turn heel again to make Starcade make sense the next week. Memphis booking at its finest. Lol.
@@CWhernidsy That theory would be probable had Dundee, Lawler, and Flair not all told the same story.
@@JackBarrett7 Well...there that went. Lol

Ric Flair had a PhD and a black belt in using the ropes when the ref wasnt looking..
