SirEdger Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I won't lie. I got a kick out of the "semi-functioning in society" line about Jimmy Jack Funk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 As much as I love Embry the moron, Embry pissed off is even better. That deal with Bad News and Ronnie both wanting and qualified to be the loner badass is so awesome. Dutch can't seem to win. Everywhere he goes he has bounties on him. Embry being aided by Leatherface is all kinds of great. Great card with some exciting brawling and a Kerry stretcher job for Kamala. And the lesser von Erichs winning a tag team battle gauntlet to nobody's surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 World Class Championship Wrestling TV presents: GOLD RUSH '86 Every Match on this episode is a title match!! Special 2 hour edition Recorded at the Sportatorium in Dallas, TX on 2/13 Airing on Friday 2/21 on WTVT throughout Texas And various outlets across the Southwest. Hosted by Bill Mercer and Bruce Prichard Ring Announcer/Interviewer: Marc Lowrance (Bill Mercer and Bruce Prichard are in tuxedos standing in front of the World Class set) Mercer: "Hello wrestling fans and welcome to a very special edition of World Class Championship Wrestling….It's called Gold Rush because ALL of the gold here in World Class will be on the line along with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship!" Prichard: "That's right Rick Martel will be putting that title on the line against a former NWA Champion in the one and only Terry Funk!" Mercer: "Also the heated rivalry between Iceman Parsons and Eddie Gilbert continues as Gilbert gets another chance to actually win the belt he STOLE from Iceman recently, I understand before matchmaker Frank Dusek would sign tonight's contest, Eddie Gilbert had to return the belt to him, which he finally did." Prichard: "I think that's ridiculous, if Parsons wanted his belt back he should have had to fight him for it." Mercer: "Well I think if Gilbert wanted the belt he should have to beat Parsons in a match for it, not just steal it." Prichard: "I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then…" Mercer: Speaking of that match, let's go to it….right now." WCCW Television Championship "Iceman" King Parsons fought "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert w/Missy Hyatt to a double countout. Afterwards Fritz announced these two will meet in a rematch for the TV title tomorrow night in Houston…and it will be a lumberjack match. (Highlights are shown of all the craziness that's gone on in recent months involving Bad News/Shultz/Garvin and now recently Dutch Mantell) NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship "Dr. D" David Shultz pinned Bad News Allen with this feet on the ropes……After the match, Dutch Mantell hit the ring and attacked Shultz, Bad News got involved and it became a three way brawl until Ronnie Garvin ran in and it became a wild four way battle until the show went to commercial (Jimmy Garvin approaches Eric Embry in the dressing room) Garvin: "Eric, can I ask you something before we head out for the match?" Eric: "Sure Jimbo, shoot!" Garvin: "Please don't call me Jimbo…..anyway. How long had you been cooking up this Leatherface plan? I mean, I wondered why you kept mentioning him…then all of a sudden somebody shows up dressed like Leatherface and now we're the North American tag champs….it's almost like you planned the whole thing….but surely not cause…well….I mean….that's pretty elaborate for somebody who seems…..you know…" Eric: "No I don't know….what are you saying Jimmy? Someone as stupid as me? Is that what you are trying to ask Jimmy? How did someone as dumb as I seem to be come up with something so smart?" Garvin: "No no no….that's not what I'm saying at all Eric…..but….I do find it odd that while you do seem a bit….I don't know…aloof shall we say….everything you've come up with has worked flawlessly….all the stuff with Shultz where all the heat with my brother fell back on him…" (Embry interupts) Eric: "Jimmy, Jimmy….don't overthink it buddy. I'm still the same ol' Eric. I still love eating at Panchos and I'm still the nice guy you've known this whole time…..I just happened to be friends with Leatherface." Garvin: "Yeah…so back to that. Who did you get to dress up as Leatherface?" Eric: "I didn't get anyone to dress up like Leatherface…..I'm actually friends with Leatherface….the real Leatherface….I've known him for years. Again, Jimmy don't overthink things man….I've got this." Garvin: (rolls his eyes) "You're right, I don't know what I was thinking of course you are friends with the REAL Leatherface (Sighs) ….still the same ol' Eric. Let's go defend our belts." Eric: (raises his eyebrow to the camera) "Don't be jealous Jimmy, I'm sure you've got some cool friends that will help us out one day too….but in the meantime, you just let dumb ol' Eric do what he does and we'll be fine." NWA North American Tag Team Championship "Flamboyant" Eric Embry/"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin w/Precious defeated "Superstar" Bill Dundee/"Exotic" Adrian Street w/Ms. Linda when Embry pinned Dundee with a small package and a handful of tights after Embry appeared to have injured his knee and Dundee took a step back for a moment and Embry took advantage Backstage: Marc Lowrance talks about the Main Event this week in Houston as Kerry Von Erich will seek revenge one on one against Kamala the Ugandan Headhunter! Also on the card: Ronnie Garvin challenges David Shultz for the Texas title, Lance and Mike Von Erich challenge Garvin and Embry for the North American Tag Titles and much more this Saturday at the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston, TX! NWA North American Heavyweight Championship Big John Studd w/Percival Pringle III defeated Mr. Olympia with an over the shoulder backbreaker (Marc Lowrance is joined by Dory Funk Jr who is no longer wearing a neck brace) Marc: "Dory, I hear your recovery from the neck injury at the hands of Jimmy Garvin and Eric Embry has come along quicker than initially expected and that you've been cleared to compete as of next week." Dory: "That's right Marc, obviously revenge is on my mind….but also on my mind is that huge Crockett Cup Tag Team Tournament coming up where Terry and myself could win not only a million dollars but the NWA National Tag Team titles as well. Not to mention our half brother Jimmy Jack is out and I've got to keep an eye on him because if you turn him and Terry loose together there's not telling what will happen. But right now, I'm focused on watching my brother Terry becoming the NWA World Champion once again." Main Event NWA World Heavyweight Championship Rick Martel pinned Terry Funk with a backslide…As Funk was getting ready to leave the ring….Garvin, Embry, and Leatherface hit the ring and attacked Terry until Jimmy Jack and Dory Jr. ran in to make the save! © 1986 Southwest Sports Inc./National Wrestling Alliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 That's the beauty of Eric Embry's character. He acts so silly that it's hard to imagine that he could actually be friends with the real Leatherface. But man, all hell broke loose in Houston. Lots of controversy and it's gonna make for some awesome TV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Big upset win for Kamala! Dr. D and Bad News aren't finished with each other yet. And that twist with Embry just playing dumb is absolutely brilliant. Well played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaldoni Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hmmmmmm maybe there's more to Embry than I thought LOL. Love the Jimmy Jack/Leatherface wild confrontation. Also like the four way feud going on between Dr. D/Bad News/Dutch and Garvin. You can go in a lot of directions with those four. Gilbert/Ice Man are in a heated rivalry over the TV title. Kamala with a huge win over Kerry. Really good title defense for Martel with a victory over Funk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmcfl Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Nice win for Kamala. Gold Rush was a huge hit and once again Embry steals the show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Embry showing his true colors and it probably doesn't end well for Jimmy Garvin. Leatherface and Jimmy Jack would have been fun. Love that Dutch jumps right into Ronnie Garvin's spot in that Texas Heavyweight Titles rivalry. Kamala being pushed in two territories makes me smile. The Funks are going to get their revenge on Embry/Garvin some day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainmakerrtv Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 The Von Erichs vs. The Steiners would have been a dream match ... and then Kamala and Kokina!
