[1992-08-01-SMW-TV] Interview: Bobby & Jackie Fulton

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Fulton responds to Cornette's claim of them being tomatoes by bringing out newspaper and slicing THAT on the barbed wire, to make the point that that's what happens to paper champions in barbed wire cage matches. Fulton may have won that round.

[Tim Evans]

Gonna make them into shredded wheat.

Fulton was great here. Actually Bobby Fulton was really strong at getting angles over, and cut some good promos in SMW.

[Kevin Ridge]

Shredding newspaper isn't all that impressive but the paper champion reference is a good one.

[WingedEagle]

Another promo setting up the barbed wire cage and promising blood.

[PeteF3]

It strikes me that this stuff in SMW is the first time I've actually heard Bobby Fulton cut a promo. The strong hype for this match continues.

[...TG]

As good as Bobby Fulton was here, Jackie was a little unnerving, staring at the camera, raising his barbed wire occasionally.

[GSR]

The Fantastics respond to the Bodies promo from earlier in the show. Bobby tells Bob Caudle that you know what it means to be a paper champion don't you? They're the kind of guys that go into the ring and don't win by ability (all whilst shredding a newspaper on some barbed wire that Jackie's holding). Fire on the Mountain is going to be the end for somebody and whilst they figure they are going to end up in the barbed wire a few times, they are going to throw the Heavenly Bodies into it a few more times and plan on leaving as champions. He then warns Cornette that if he gets in the ring he's going toget shredded, whilst the Bodies are going to get cut, and cut bad.

 

Think this is the go home interview for the match at Fire on the Mountain. One of the things I like is how the TV shows all build for the main house show cards (first Volunteer Slam, then Summerblast and now Fire on the Mountain), you know exactly what matches are taking place and the TV makes you want to see these big events and this is no different here. The whole build for the Fantastics and Bodies feud has been excellent, whilst I'd say that with the exception of Bob Armstrong, Bobby Fulton is the best talker on the face side of the roster. Roll on the barbed wire cage match (although I sadly don't have this at the moment and am waiting to pick it up from someone in a trade), so will have to come back to review it later.

One good demonstration deserves another. Corny wins the visual battle, but I have to give Bobby credit for guts; he calmly shreds that newspaper on the wire while going on without missing a beat about the Bodies being paper champions, and I don't think he (or Jackie) has gloves on either.

 

Everyone involved in this match except for Stan are really into the promos for this match, and it really feels like the biggest match in SMW to date. What that says about the singles division I'm not sure, but regardless I can't wait to see this again! (I've already seen it on Will's SMW set.)

Loved the "paper champions" being shredded on the barb wire.  Also, the whole "we don't need gloves" bit is another nice bit of babyface vs. heel psychology.  Great stuff.
