Blond Bombers - Battered and bruised after Concession Stand Brawl (6-16-79)

Having won the Southern Tag Titles in Tupelo, MS last night against Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee, the battered and bruised Blond Bombers deal out some harsh words for The King and the Superstar. Larry Latham displays a huge gash in his head from the previous night's battle for the belts and gets a little face time on the camera but he's too shy to handle the closeup. Unfortunately, then Sonny King steps in and basically ruins a great promo.

Wayne Farris talkin' a blue streak right there! HTM was always money on the mic!

Elvis WHO?!?

[@kennethmalone4689]

Lol, the "Blond Bombers" look like a couple of desk clerks at an auto parts store.

[@stevemtc1]

Fuck off

[@kennethmalone4689]

@@stevemtc1 What do you have against Car Quest?

[@TheJoaniejoancansew]

😆

[@tvpmark]

Moondog Spot and the Honkytonk Man......

[@GrandFunker]

Yikes! That gash is crazy.

[@soundgardener4940]

Crazy gash is all well and good in the heat of the moment, but when the Tupelo concession stand is scattered all over the arena like confetti, colored dudes is interruptin' televised sports update segments to express support for a violent white criminal duo of bleached blondes led by a dude literally called _"Honkey,"_ and Pandelerium's raining down like some Esalen cats finally succeeded on immanentizin' the gosh-darned Eschaton, you'd do well to remember the -immoral- immortal words of Steely Dan, who sang:
*_"Ain't never gonna do it without the Fez on."_*

[@tlbradioreacts]

MWVV, you are so right, King ruined it. What was the purpose of the interruption as I don't recall King ever factoring into the Bombers. But Farris had a good promo going and I thought Farris was one of the better talkers in Memphis at that time, if not ever, despite his short time there.

[@MrPotatoesLatkie]

Sonny King was louder, and more animated her than when he appeared on GCW a few years later. Had he acted more as he did here in Memphis, he may have gotten over better on GCW. There, he was too cool acting , and came off as being without spirit.

[@scaparapadoobedoooo3170]

lol, standing with his back to the camera...

[@RayNDeere]

@DotDotkins ... and Larry Latham before he became Moondog Spot

[@stephencatchdudeknight4623]

And did hardcore on a nightly basis.

[@jerichobeach2967]

Boy!

[@2th31]

Seeing HTM as a bleached blond with a beard is just so weird.

[@frankbonini9128]

You Should See How He Looks Now ... It's a Greyish/Silvery Version of This

[@altfactor]

I heard that due to the unscripted damage to the concession stand, the management of the arena in Tupelo, Mississippi where the brawl took place refused to allow professional rassling to be held there as long as that management was in place.

[@2rrkd]

Well then that management must've been gone in two years, as there was another wrestling show in Tupelo, and another massive brawl in the concession stand.

[@andrewclayterman6230]

You heard wrong.. jerry jarrett said on one of his long shoot interviews they had made an agreement to clean it up and pay for anything broken.

[@kevinpayton2664]

What was Sonny King trying to do?

[@AldenRDavis]

Kevin Payton He was trying to manage them.

[@1980bwc]

He was trying to kill an awesome promo, and he achieved that goal.

[@andrewclayterman6230]

get a rub

[@TheMugenmunster]

Justify his job.

[@stephencatchdudeknight4623]

3 names expect the moondog you wouldnt know created hardcore.

[@jamie.777]

Larry Latham, did he speak 🤔 a "language"? Or just bark and grunt?

[@scottbreon9448]

Well, he eventually became a Moondog....

[@NJones-ru4hu]

Is that Sweet Brown Sugar?

[@ObodyNeal]

Honky-tonk Ferrus

[@soundgardener4940]

The coloured gentleman's heartfelt show of support is even more poignant when you consider the fact that the bigger & louder of the two blond wrasslers, and obviously the leader of the duo, *_was literally called "Honky."_*

[@jjpope1113]

Larry Latham was great
