Match # 91: Fabulous Ones vs. The Sheepherders (Cage Match) (8/6/85) After Mid South I thought I’d finally gotten away from having to hear “Born in the USA” as agood guy theme. I was wrong. The Fabs are fighting evil New Zealanders, and a cage is the only way to settle it. Someone call Springsteen [...]

Match # 89: Fabulous Ones vs. The Sheepherders (Boyd & Morgan) (6/22/85) The Fabs are the AWA Southern tag champs. We’ve got the original Fabs here too. The Sheepherders are not Luke Williams and Butch Miller, but a similar team with the same basic New Zealand gimmick. The Fabs do a promo and invite the [...]

Match # 84: Fabulous Ones vs. Pretty Young Things (4/22/85) This is the original Fabs, with Steve Keirn and Stan Lane, who I prefer much more then the Gilbert/Rich team. The PYT of Austin and Koko is much more suited for this match up, at least in my opinion, so I’m excited for this one.

Match # 64: The Fabulous Ones vs. Pretty Young Things (6/25/84) Now I’m confused. The Fabs had left and the NEW Fabs were feuding with the PYT. Now here stand Stan Lane and Steve Keirn, being awesome and doing what I’ve thought was lacking from the Rich/Gilbert team.

Match # 57: Fabulous Ones vs. The Moondogs (1/9/84) We know the drill by now. Check the Memphis Diaries archives if you aren’t hip to this feud. The Fabs still want the Moondog’s blood. The Moondogs just want a fight. Lets get to it!

Match # 46: Fabulous Ones vs. Moondogs (6/13/83) [EWY-7] The Moondogs took out Steve Keirn in a stretcher match a month or so ago. In the interim Stan Lane went to the man who put the Fabs together, Fabulous Jackie Fargo, and tagged with him in an awesome but short tag match versus the Moondogs. [...]

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 # 43: Fabulous Ones vs. The Moondogs (Stretcher Match) (5/2/83) [EWY-4] A month back First Family members The Moondogs cheated to beat the Fabs at the Mid South Coliseum in Memphis. This is a rematch, with the gimmick being your opponent (one of the two) must go out on a stretcher. This match is [...]

Match # 42: Fabulous Ones vs. The Moondogs (4/4/83) [EWY-3] The Moondogs ripped up the Fabs fancy coats, hit them with the dog bone they carry around, and embarrassed them. Hence, we have this match for the AWA Southern tag titles. The Fabs come in heavy, take it to the Moondogs in a brawl. The [...]

Match # 32: Fabulous Ones vs. The New York Dolls (2/3 Falls) (11/13/82) A battle of well dressed men in top hats and jackets, though this time the babyface Fabs come in black, while the heel Dolls wear white. A tag team studio match with a 2/3 falls stip that includes TV time remaining, so [...]

Match # 111: Chavo & Hector Guerrero vs. The Fabulous Ones (Texas Tornado Cage Match) (2/28/86) This was a great feud that has begun to have diminishing returns for me. I loved the first two matches, felt slightly let down by the finish and work of the third, and then it got worse. My problem [...]

Match #105: Chavo Guerrero vs. Steve Keirn (no DQ loser is painted yellow match) (1/31/86) Loser gets painted yellow by the winner. You know, cause goofy people in 1930 from Texas would call somebody “yella” if they were scared. Whatever. Steve Keirn is yet another victim of the flamboyant gayness of wrestling, wearing suspenders with [...]

Match # 102: The Fabulous Ones vs. Chavo & Hector Guerrero (Mexican Death Match) (1/24/86) This match has a lot of expectations going in as the first was great and the second meeting was even better. Rules to this one are after you pin your opponent they have 30 seconds of rest and then the [...]

Match # 93: The Fabulous Ones vs. Chavo & Hector Guerrero (12/29/85) Rematch from earlier on the disk, and this one I was hoping to see again. Great start as Hector shows the fire and aggression chasing Stan Lane with the Mexican roll till Lane leans under the ropes. Kiern is there to reassure him. [...]

Match # 90: The Fabulous Ones vs. Chavo & Hector Guerrero (12/27/85) They’re back! The brothers Guerrero are here in this match as faces, straight from Houston. This is my first chance EVER to watch the Fabs, a team I’ve heard so much about. Steve Keirn has gone on to run the Florida WWE development [...]
