Match #72: Iceman King Parsons vs. Chris Adams (10/8/84) The background: In late September 1984 during an Adams/Kevin Von Erich versus Gino Hernandez/Jake the Snake Roberts match, Adams took the fall after being counseled on the ringside floor by old friend Stella Mae French. After being pinned by Hernandez, Adams shoved and yelled at French. [...]

Match #67: Iceman King Parsons & Skip Young vs. Pretty Young Things (8/17/84) Norvell Austin and Koko Ware come in from Memphis for a run in World Class under their PYT moniker. They were good on the Memphis set, so we’ll see how this all Afro-American match works out in good ‘ol boy land. The [...]

Match #45: Iceman King Parsons vs. Buddy Roberts (12/12/83) I wasn’t enthused about this feud earlier in the year, but it did give us bald Buddy, and they do work hard. This one is near Christmas, so I’ll give it a chance.

Match # 34: Iceman King Parsons vs. Harley Race (10/7/83) I’m a recent Harley Race convert, and since Ice Man is a childhood favorite, this one has a chance to be pretty good. Plus it’s an NWA World Title match. Bonus!

Match #33: Chris Adams, Iceman King Parsons & David Von Erich vs. Michael Hayes, Kamala & The Mongol (10/3/83) This is a mish-mosh of talent. I’m much more confident in the babyface side then I am with Hayes partners. I’m watching this one to see what the hell they do with Kamala.

Match #25: Iceman King Parsons vs. Buddy Roberts (2/3 Falls) (8/8/83) I’ve watched the (angle) match from the spring where Parsons beats Roberts in four seconds.

Match #15: Iceman King Parsons, Kevin & David Von Erich vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (5/13/83) Another six-man match, no penalty box, Freebirds and Von Erichs (with the Ice Man). The rivalry continues. I’m a little more excited for Kevin than David, and a little is putting it mildly.

Match # 14: Chavo Guerrero, Iceman King Parsons & Kerry Von Erich vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (Penalty Box Match) (4/29/83) I’ve missed Chavo since the Mid South Diaries. I saw Ice Man in the late 80s on ESPN. I liked him and Brickhouse Brown (which makes me think as a white guy I must group [...]
