Match # 54: Dutch Mantel, Koko Ware, Bobby Eaton & Jaguar vs. The Grapplers & Bruise Brothers (12/10/83) [EWY-15] One of the Bruise Brothers (Porkchop Cash) looks like Kimbo Slice. The Other Bruise Brother is Dream Machine in yet another incarnation. The Grapplers are muscleheads in masks. Koko is wrestling as Stagger Lee, the mask [...]

Match # 47: Rock N Roll Express & Bobby Eaton vs. The Moondogs & Jimmy Hart (7/25/83) [EWY-8] This match is probably on here just as much for novelty as match quality. Here we have a really early pairing of the Rock N Roll Express, and they partner with future famed rival Bobby Eaton. How [...]

Match # 44: Fabulous Ones vs. Bobby Eaton & Duke Myers (Hair vs. Titles) (5/16/83) [EWY-5] Duke Myers is the wild car here, because everyone else I’m very familiar with in this match. Interestingly enough, Eaton and Lane are on opposite sides here, but would go on to form a version of the Midnight Express [...]

Match # 38: Bobby Eaton & Sweet Brown Sugar vs. Jacques Rougeau & Terry Taylor (1/1/83) My new favorite tag team of Eaton and Sugar. If only the young Cornette could have had these guys instead of Jimmy Hart leading them, my Hart would be content. Terry Taylor, a babyface here, would go on to [...]

Match # 35: Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee, Dutch Mantell & Terry Taylor vs. Bobby Eaton, Sweet Brown Sugar, Rick McGraw & Sabu (12/4/82) A super face team of Memphis, plus Terry Taylor, takes on the first family, plus (not that) Sabu. Sabu looks like one of the Wild Samoans. Eaton and Brown Sugar look king-sized [...]

Match # 33: Bill Dundee & Bobby Fulton vs. Bobby Eaton & Sweet Brown Sugar (11/15/82) Interesting note is that this feature half of the future heel greats the Midnight Express (Eaton) and half of the less famous but solid babyface unit, The Fantastics (Fulton). Dundee and Fulton are your faces, and Eaton and Sweet [...]

Match # 25: Bill Dundee vs. Bobby Eaton (7/24/82) Lance Russell lets us know right away there was a special agreement on the time limit so they could fit it into TV time. I like the Memphis structure that everything must fit into TV time instead of the fake “we’re out of time” TBS way [...]

Match # 24: Bobby Eaton & Sweet Brown Sugar vs. Dutch Mantell & King Cobra (7/19/82) Sugar and Eaton are your heels. Eaton is more famous for his Midnight Express team with Dennis Condrey and/or Stan Lane. I’ve never seen King Cobra before, but we’ve reviewed Dundee matches before. This is arena match footage.
