Match # 19: Stan Lane & Koko Ware vs. Eddie Gilbert & Ricky Morton (No DQ, 2/3 Falls) (10/81)
This is an AWA Southern Tag Tile return match from a handheld camera at a spot show in Jonesbouro, Arkansas. Gilbert and Morton are your babyface challengers. No disqualification and two out of three falls wins [...]
Match # 17: Ricky Morton & Eddie Gilbert vs. Masa Fuchi & Atsushi Onita (Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl) (9/4/81)
This is fascinating for a few reasons. First off, the Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl is something of legend. It was ECW before there was an ECW. Hardcore before the name was given and the marketing of [...]
Match # 148: Eddie Gilbert & Dick Murdoch vs. Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts (6/25/87)
Looks like the Freebirds get to be babyfaces for once. That’s a welcome change for me. Murdoch and Gilbert tries to take out Bam Bam’s leg. First Doc, now this? Crazy Gilbert! What were those two thinking? We shall see in [...]
Match # 146: Eddie Gilbert vs. Dr. Death (5/17/87)
Doc sprints to the ring for this TV main event. Eddie Gilbert is going to have Dick Murdoch in his corner. He tells me so in a promo he cuts with Captain Redneck. Murdoch says he showed the brainbuster finish and Gilbert acts like a goof. Priceless. [...]
Match # 142: Chris Adams & Terry Taylor vs. Eddie Gilbert & Iceman Parsons (3/20/87)
The story is Adams and Parsons were once tag team partners in a tournament in Mid South (apparently because of the World Class connections). They broke up and Parsons went heel, joining Eddie Gilbert’s Hot Stuff International. Hence this match.
Match # 129: The Fantastics vs. Sting & Eddie Gilbert (9/7/86)
This is for the held up UWF tag team belts. Gilbert has his whole faction out there. Missy and Tatum should keep me interested if the match does not. Should be fun to see a young StingThe Fantastics take forever to get to the ring. [...]
Match # 124: The Fantastics & Missing Link vs. Eddie Gilbert, John Tatum & Sting (8/3/86)
Dark Journey is a face now and Missy Hyatt makes an appearance with the heels. She’s slept with everyone but Sting on the heels side… maybe Sting too. Neat.
Match # 109: Koko B. Ware vs. Eddie Gilbert (2/28/86)
The first of four from the same Houston card. Four matches making it to a 150 match best of the decade review? Must have been a hell of a card. Then again, I’m sure a lot of great cards have happened over the years where no [...]
Match # 94: Eddie Gilbert & The Nightmare vs. The Bruise Brothers (12/31/85)
The Bruise Brothers are Pork Chop Cash and some other hack Memphis act doing a black Blues Brothers gimmick. They are the faces. Eddie Gilbert is another known Memphis act (like the faces) who Chris Candido patterned a lot of his stuff after. [...]
