Eddie Gilbert Fireballs Randy Hales (March, 1988) Classic Memphis Studio Wrestling
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 кві 2010
- Eddie Marlin, who is steeped in a feud with Tommy Gilbert, has been beaten and bruised in several strap matches and street fight matches over the past few weeks so he's appointed Randy Hales some temporary booking duties until he can settle the feud. But Eddie Gilbert, who is himself in a bloody feud with Jerry Lawler, doesn't like Randy in this position of authority.
While Eddie breezes through a scheduled match with Ken Raper, Missy Hyatt begins harassing Randy at the announcer's table. But Randy, fed up with the Gilberts, refuses to take any of her mess and the argument escalates. Eddie spots the commotion from the ring and gets himself counted out arguing with Randy. To his credit Randy doesn't back down and even steps up into Gilbert's face, towering over him.
Suddenly the rest of the Gilbert family runs in. Tommy Gilbert catches Randy from behind and gives him a hard kidney punch that buckles his knees. You can see Missy Hyatt quickly pass Eddie his lighter and flash paper just before he lights up Randy's face. It's a pretty good fireball as fireballs go. Maybe he burned his lip a little, yeah?

Ring Announcer: Introducing Ken Raper
Guy in Audience: WHAT
I cackled when I heard that too
But the guy beat Eddie Gilbert
😆😆😆
That's a name that REALLY needed changin'!
A YOUNG Missy Hyatt was SMOKING HOT!!
Eddie Gilbert always imitated the King Jerry Lawler with throwing fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lance by far is the best comentator in wrestling history. Wrestlers like Eddie Gilbert is what made it memorable...man i miss Old school wrestling.
Best comment, you win!!!!
Wrong 9 years ago. And your still fucking wrong now. Gordon Solie is without a doubt the best ever. Period.
@@christopherhughes3381 Gordon Solie puts me to sleep.
@@christopherhughes3381 I also love forcing my opinions on people
@@christopherhughes3381 the black guy that made the original comment is right. Period.
Lance Russell was a lot like Mean Gene as far as standing up to and taking no crap from the heels.
Yep, they were special because they were beyond reproach. They were and were booked as respected journalists. Find me any clip of Mean Gene or Lance getting assaulted.
@@marcpjoyner Bill Dundee slapped Lance and Dream Machine just about killed him.
Gordon Solie was like that at times too.
As for Lance getting assaulted…others have shown that Dundee got him pretty good once with a slap. I remember when Jimmy Hart left for the WWF in the mid 80s and he dumped an entire bag of flour on Lance on television. Lance was mad!! Hahaha.
You gotta believe that Eddie Gilbert was going to be World Champion in his career. He had it all going for him. I really enjoyed watching him.
Eddie Gilbert was a freaking genius! It's only now, years after his passing, that I've come to realize just how smart and resourceful he really was when it came to heat, controversy, or just getting on people nerves really really badly. He was truly great! He should have like a wrestling school or street named after him in his hometown or something? Classic!
As for getting heat: Eddie Gilbert definitely knew how to get heat.
He knew how to give somebody some heat, too, as evidenced by that Fireball he gave to Randy Hales.
Sometimes, Randy Hales needed to learn when to be quiet....
@@ronaldshank7589 hey! That's an excellent observation.
@@daviddavidson8050 Thanx, my man! Here's another observation for ya-These Wrestling Segments from the past contain more excitement in just an hour, or even minutes, than a lot of this "Processed" WWE stuff nowadays!
@@ronaldshank7589 agreed! Appreciate it. Take care!
@@daviddavidson8050 👍🇺🇲✝️!
He was just trying to light Randy's crack pipe.
OH, IT IS TRUE, DAVE
HE ADMITTED IT
Eddie Gilbert one of the best ever, should be in the Hall of Fame
Eddie Gilbert Reminds me Of Tully Blanchard He Knows How To Bring Near He Would've Made A Great Horseman Instead Of Luger Or Windham
been watching wrestling for decades seen them all and eddie gilbert is my all time favorite ma you went way to soon he was a true genius rip legend
A truly Legendary Wrestler, and he knew exactly how to light and throw those fireballs!
@@ronaldshank7589 you know it he was te best
@@charleshuber3745 Agreed! Now Jerry "The King" Lawler knew how to throw fireballs, too, and, once in a Blue Moon, so did Jim Cornette. I don't think that the Then-WWF had anybody that threw fireballs...hmm... nope. Nobody there threw any fireballs. A lot of the fireballs that people threw were either in the South, or the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Organizations. You hate seeing somebody get hit with one, though. To say that that hurts, is a MAJOR understatement!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE EDDIE GILBERT MEMPHIS MOMENTS...
The best in Memphis wrestling hot stuff Eddie Gilbert
If you grew up on Memphis wrestling like I did you need to read Living The Dream by Randy Hales I really enjoyed it and it brought back some of my favorite memories of watching Saturday morning wrestling listening to my grandfather talk shit about whoever the king was feuding with at the time
Eddie one of the best heels ever
Great vid! this is a classic!
Did no one ever suggest Ken Raper change his name?
Randy Hales looking like the Ghostbuster Egan lol. Before he started smoking crack
🤩🤩🤩
It's rumored (from Scott Bowden) that Raper eventually was known as Leatherface in 90's Memphis.
You see Randy Hales? His face went up like the Challenger! *lights dim*
Kid, don’t talk about the Challenger. Go do it again. -Dusty Rhodes
@MrGiggledick I always wondered why Ken didn't at least spell it "Rapier" and get away from the obvious issues that such a last name would bring about.
In the 80s, everyone was,throwing fireballs!!
Perfect 🔥 ball...
Eddie Gilbert was great RIP one of the greatest heels ever
7:33 Wow! That's the first time I ever saw Lance threaten to get involved in a melee on the studio floor! :) He usually just stood still in the distance watching some poor sap get the beat down. Maybe the presence of the pre-plastic surgery Missy Hyatt motivated him to new heights?!!?
This is when Missy was super hot. I saw her in person sometime around this and she was absolutely beautiful.
Besides being an all time great, Eddie sure married very well. Missy and Medusa....what a guy.
missy was so pretty in 1988.
I love how Lance would give it right back to him
Gilbert is definitely my favorite heel of Memphis Wrestling!
lol, that was great. I miss old wrestling. That fool got his face burnt off. He should have never mouthed off to Hot Stuff!
Ken Raper has to be one of the most unfortunate names in professional wrestling...
I love how Marjorie Taylor Greene here is insisting on doing color commentary.
This is exact how she behaves in the House.
LMAO 🤣
That was awesome
Eddie Gilbert was one of the true creative minds of the business. Here, you could see how he could play a loose cannon style heel and be totally believable. I always got a kick out of Lance Russell telling the heels to get out of there. LOL However, I have to say, Missy Hyatt may have been beautiful but I found her squeaky voice very annoying.
LMAO at the name Raper.
Middle initial? "T."
This Scene Reminds Me Of When Tully Blanchard And J J Dillon Attacked Magnum T A And Dusty Rhodes Comes In There And Accidentally Hit Jim Crockett With The Bay Leading To The Midnight Rider
Talk about getting heat
Had it coming little man
hot stuff !!!! awesome !!!
Hales look's like a white urkel.
This was the best wrestling show in Memphis Tn. Randy got what he deserve.
I hated Randy Hales
That was uncalled for Hot Stuff!
eddie gilbert was a wizard
Missy Hyatt was fine back in the day
Best looking in Wrestling ❤️
Dude sold the fireball before it happened.
There's something that people are missing here, as it refers to Randy Hales. He shouldn't have been running his mouth to one of the most unpredictable, and most devious, Wrestlers alive. He didn't expect a Fireball-But that's what he got, because he just couldn't keep his big mouth shut!
Eddie Gilbert taught Randy Hales a little lesson in respect!
GOLD
Gilbert was a great heel.
Gilbert had great matches with Terry funk and Jerry Lawler.
Hot stuff international.
Eddie Marlin where are you? They can't control this.
RANDY HALES GOT HIS
Major LOLZ when Hales spazzes at 7:32 when Tommy Gilbert barely touches him.
@CombatSportFan - I agree. Interestingly, this is the most popular fireball video so far, so maybe it was a good idea to write Randy into the story and fireball him. "Smart" fans seem to like it.
@MrGiggledick That's one bit of PC that I can understand doing.
The STUD STAPLE IS RUNNING HOT. Southern Professional Wrestling was AWESOME 😎
Lance was really putting up a fight 😳 💀
I miss Eddie Gilbert.
They didn't seem to be in a hurry to help
Sweet Wholesome Missy Hyatt being disrespected by Icabod Randy Hales deserving of being turned into a tiki torch
Mess up his suit then Lance will get down.
Yep. You didn't want to mess with Banana Nose's Baxter suit!
I loved the part where Latin Heartthrob Al Perez stood up to Eddie. That blew their partnership for good.
Eddie Gilbert patterned his Career after Lawler.
Omg yes more so than his father
Ken Raper?! Unfortunate name 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Does anybody know if when Hotstuff Died if he was cremated or buried ?
what kind of name is Ken Raper????
Glad my name isn't Ken....
Oh no!! He fireballed the 1980s Food Lion meat department manager 😢
What pro wrestling might have been with Eddie Gilbert still working behind the scenes today. ( Heck who knows, maybe Missy would have had a better run as well in life.)
Lol. Funny shit 😂😂😂😂
This was epic very real life stuff that would happen like this on the street back in them times.
A friend comes out to help another friend hold the victim while his buddy do damage to him
then run off before the police would come.
Tommy Gilbert says just as hes pulling up Randy Hales he says I'm sorry kid so he must of been shooting on him a bit by accident when roughing him up
The Noble Sheik is the original fireball throwing machine. Lawler is insulting The Noble Sheik by throwing fire like a johnny come lately.
Gilbert's lucky he didn't pull that stunt on McMahon or Heyman...they'd have booted him all the way to Saturn.
The Gilbert Family with Missy Hyatt rule wrestling
Great Promo! And Missy was DELICIOUS!
LMAO . . WTF? Gotta love old school Memphis wrestling. Randy Hales looked like a skinny Yao Ming.
Forrest Gump just became fried shrimp!
Was there a bounty on eddy gillbert
They cannot do that now smh
Good old Jeff Jarrett
Missy Hyatt=Jenna Jameson.
Not even close.
Hogan was a catcher not a pitcher.
Well NOW You Know WHY The Late, Great Eddie Gilbert Was Called " HOT STUFF" He Was " The Wizard" Before Chris Jericho Was!!!
This was funny
I say Hotstuff should have lit Lance up like the 4th of July.
Ken really needed a better ring name
Missy Hyatt is like the Simpsons of wrestling. In their prime there was nothing better, but modern day? Oooof.
Ken Raper jobbed in the wwf but they changed his name to Ken Rapper...pc at its best
Hahahahahaaa!!!
John Tatum is still pissed he lost Missy and in the UWF days she smacks him with a empty purse and blades himself nicely on camera. Classic wrestling!
Lol
Raper ?
How does that not burn someone bad?
Just flash paper and a petroleum jelly on his face
Actually it burns people sometimes
The guys last name is raper
took 10 guys to help him out lol
Eddie Gilbert was Donkey Punchin Ken Raper!!!!!!!
That's young Dog the Bounty Hunter an Beth
The opponent has a rather unfortunate name. Thankfully it wasn't in his gimmick. [...and Missy Hyatt is terrible even at being terrible.]
@barthunt1 Most unfortunate name.
Eddie gilbert vs Bret Hart
Randy hales and Eddie Gilbert is close friend
So that is why he's hot stuff 🤔
