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 gimmick [...]

Match # 52: Koko Ware vs. Tommy Rogers (10/24/83) [EWY-13] Rogers insists that Jimmy Hart is not his manager, but Hart is already out at ringside in a seat waiting to watch the match. Interesting.

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 early [...]

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 # 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.

Match # 23: Bill Dundee vs. Sweet Brown Sugar (2/3 falls, Scaffold Match) (6/21/82) As a rule I don’t usually enjoy or like scaffold matches. I find it an antiquated gimmick that’s short on action and usually just disappoints while it injures wrestlers. There’s usually little reason for the gimmick storyline wise and the result [...]

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 # 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 [...]
