[Grimmas]

Ok, we have found a promotion that rivals Montreal for its tag team division!

[dawho5]

I'm digging all the tag action myself, but I have to think that Georgia and Southeastern have the 1 and 2 tag divisions as far as name value and actual tag matches being produced. I tend to save a lot of the marquee matchups (face vs. heel ones anyway) in 2 on 2 action for the big shows and run a lot of 6 mans.

[goc]

Good stuff here. I'm hoping to see Jimmy Golden & Robert Fuller set their sights on the tag belts soon. They're gonna be tough to handle especially now that they have The Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller with them.

[KrisZ]

Boon just keeps bringing it with his stuff.....kudos my friend.

[Jesse Ewiak]

Really good house shows all around with awesome tag action, and Mantell-Armstrong main events putting the cherry on top.

[Beast]

Eaton and Prichard is a great "What if?" tag team and with Cornette right there....

 

I feel like the eventual Cornette as a heel coming out party sometime down the line will be amazing. A fine use of restraint not dipping into that well yet.

Before we go to the studio we are shown clips of Ron Fuller returning to the Alabama area and helping his brother Robert Fuller and cousin Jimmy Golden defeat Johnny Rich & Larry Hamilton. The opening credits roll we pan into Charlie Platt and Rick Stewart sitting at the announcer’s desk. They describe how they are never shocked by the antics of the Fuller and Golden family. At this point all three men come to the announcers table, Ron tells Charlie Platt that the Tennessee Stud has returned and with that comes the return of the Studd Stable with himself, his brother Robert and his cousin Jimmy Golden and they will be taking over Southeastern like the Fuller family has done for years gone by. Charlie Platt replies to these statements and highlights he’s know the Fuller family for many years but he thinks that they may have their work cut out in Southeastern with all the great talent in Alabama at the moment.

We return to the announcer’s desk with former Southeastern Heavyweight Champion “Bullet” Bob Armstrong. As per the announcement two weeks ago, only one of Bob Armstrong or Dutch Mantell can be in attendance for TV a week due to the bad blood between the two. Armstrong says that last week he was unlucky but he beat Dutch and he knows he can do it this week, he has cleared it with the championship committee that he will get another shot this week following his count out victory over Dutch last week. Bob says that he would like to introduce someone to the great fans of Southeastern, he calls someone over. He introduces a young trainee wrestler, TV station employee and more importantly one of “Bullet” son’s Scott. Bob goes on to say that Scott has been training really hard with Brad and himself and one day hopes to become a professional wrestler, but for the time being he is happy working for WTVY. “Bullet” Bob tells Scot he should get on with his work as he has a match to contend with. “Bullet” Bob Armstrong defeats Ted Allen in 6 minutes following a Jaw Breaker and the pin.

We go back to Charlie Platt and Rick Stewart who run though todays results and this Mondays card in Birmingham, when we see Dutch Mantell dragging a member of the TV studio crew into the ring, Platt and Stewart are trying to work out what is going on, it soon comes apparent that Dutch has Scott Armstrong who is a WTVY studio employee but more importantly is Bob Armstrong’s son. Dutch asks if Scott wants to be a professional wrestler like his dad. Scott nods but struggles as Dutch is still holding him by the hair. Dutch goes on to say that Scott’s dad Bob isn’t a legend, but is a coward. He’d happily take Scott under his wing if he wanted to have a champion as a role model rather than a loser. Scott who is visible scared agrees just so Dutch will let go, Dutch does let go while Scott checks over himself. Mantell then goes on to say he’d be ashamed to call Scott and Brad his sons and clothes lines Scott who goes straight to the ground. As medical staff run out to check on Scott, Dutch leaves the ring.

Boon you definitely have the ability to plow through some shows here. I am not too knowledge about SouthEast so this has been a learning experience for me. I think you've got a young hungry roster with some veterans to top it off. Scott Armstrong, Bobby Eaton, and Tom Pritchard all have high hopes in my opinion.
