spaldoni Posted January 10 Report Posted January 10 Chaz gets the win over the mysterious El Toro Armando retains. Hmmmmm, I wonder why Madril looked so worn out Dream and Gibert earn their shot Damn! Rough night for Olympia 2. It appears Miller's reasons are valid in his head. I hope we all find out what those reasons are Whatley has had quite the career in our world. It's cool still seeing him involved in meaningful programs. I expected nothing but chaos between Memphis and Texas. WOW! The main event was swerve city! I couldn't even predict where this was going and I love that! Everybody is choosing sides and things are going to get nuts! Oh yea, we also have a new champ with Embry. His promos alone will be gold. Great stuff!
Jimmy Jack Punk Posted January 11 Author Report Posted January 11 Southeastern Championship Wrestling Ep. 4 From the WTVY Channel 4 Studios in Dothan, Alabama Airing on various stations across Alabama & Mississippi Pre-recorded airing on the weekend of 1/10/91 Host: Charlie Platt Co-Host: Joe Pedicino (the show opens with a montage of random Southeastern Wrestling clips from the different incarnations over the years, we then go to the desk to our hosts Charlie Platt and Joe Pedicino) Platt: Hello and welcome back once again to Southeastern Championship Wrestling, I'm Charlie Platt joined as always by my co-host the one and only, Joe Pedicino. Pedicino: Charlie, it's great to be here and I know we're all still reeling from all the wild action this past Thursday at the Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham. Platt: Wild is an understatement! We have a new Southeastern Heavyweight Champion and "Dirty" Dutch Mantell will not be able to challenge for the Southeastern Championship for the remainder of his tenure with the company. Pedicino: That is true but it would also seem Dutch is no longer associated with the Memphis Mafia. (Before Platt can respond, JC Ice, Doug Gilbert, and the Dream Machine make their way out) Ice: For once in your life Joe Alpacino, you speak the truth! Low down dirty Dutch Mantell is no longer associated with the Memphis Mafia but we'll get to that in a minute! I wanna know whose big idea it was to bring my father into this promotion and make him the special referee for the title match last week? Was it that bald headed geek Jerry Stubbs? Or was it that big lanky wannabe cowboy, the Tennessee Dud, Ron Fuller? All my life, I had to grow up, "Bill Dundee's Boy". Nobody ever saw, "Jamie Dundee", they just saw Bill Dundee's kid. No one ever asked me how I was doing, they always asked me, "how's your Dad?" Then I got in the rasslin business and people still just saw me as "Dundee's kid". I would always try to go territories as far away from him as I could, but sooner or later he would show up there or I would find out that he was trying to control my career from behind the scenes. I'm sick to death of it, and I finally told him to his face at Thanksgiving that I was going to Southeastern, I was changing my name and to stay the hell outta my business! Then what does he do? I watch AWA SuperClash and see him get beat by Don Muraco and apparently he catches the first train to Alabama to come and once again interfere in my life. (The crowd suddenly cheers as Bill Dundee enters the studio) BD: Listen Jamie.... Ice: Old man, I'm sick of telling you! My name is J.C. Ice Baby, Jamie Dundee is dead! BD: Listen son, whatever it is you wanna call yourself and whatever goofy stuff you do to your hair and whatever silly clothes you wanna wear you're still my son and I still love ya and that won't ever change. Gilbert: I don't think a four foot tall midget with a mullet in an Elvis jumpsuit has any room to call anything goofy or silly. BD: First of all, Doug Gilbert this don't concern you! I'm surprised you can still manage to ride Eddie’s coattaiils from down here in Alabama. If your Daddy, Tommy Gilbert cared anything about you he'd be down here trying to straighten you out. Gilbert: Bill Dundee, you haven't earned the right to speak the name of Tommy Gilbert, you sawed off little...(JC Ice cuts him off) Ice: I got this Dougie, don't let him get to you too. Bill Dundee, I'm not your boy anymore, I don't want anything to do to you, so I suggest you pick another territory and go wrestle there and steer clear of the Memphis Mafia. BD: Memphis Mafia? What do you know about the mafia. Listen son, I'm trying to help you avoid the mistakes I made in my life and career. Look at these two clowns you've got with you! Troy Graham's brain is so fried he doesn't know where he is any more and Doug Gilbert’s own brother doesn't want him with him in the USWA! (Gilbert and Dream Machine attack Bill Dundee, Ice hangs back for a moment. He grabs a chair but hesistates....then swings it right into the head of his father splitting his head wide open! Dutch Mantell hits the studio cracking his whip "shoo baby" and the Memphis Mafia quickly disperse.) Platt: What a disgusting display by Jamie Dundee joining his cronies in attacking his father once again, just like he did Thursday night in Birmingham. Pedicino: Disgusting is right, Charlie. My question is this? Will Bill Dundee be willing to fight back against his son? I don't know that he will. Platt: Great point Joe. Right now, we have to take a break. We'll be back with our opening match. ============================ COMMERCIAL BREAK ============================ (Before the next match, a clip from Thursday night airs showing Mike Miller's heinous attack on Mr. Olympia II after he no-showed the tag team match against the Mercenaries) --------------------------------------------- MATCH #1: "Mean" Mike Miller defeated Derrick Dukes by DQ, when Mr. Olympia II hit the ring about 4 minutes in and attacked Miller seeking revenge for what took place last Thursday night! Miller and Olympia brawl around the studio and out into the parking lot. ============================ (Joe Pedicino is joined in the interview area by Dark Journey/Terrance Garvin) Pedicino: Dark Journey, I see you have Terrance Garvin with you this week, where is the "California Stud" Rod Price? DJ: Not that it's any of your business, but Rod Price is currently on a tour of Japan and will be back in a couple of weeks. However, he did leave specific instructions for Mr. Garvin to "get his act together" before he returns. Garvin: Excuse me? He said what? DJ: Rod was quite upset that you lost us two different opportunities at the Southeastern Tag Team titles. Garvin: Ok, first of all neither of those loses were my fault and second of all, what good would it have done us to win the tag titles if we was going to run off to Japan anyway? Pedinco: He does have a point… DJ: SHUT UP PEDICINO! You stay out of this! Listen, Terry……I scheduled you match on television today as an opportunity to prove yourself to both me and Rod Price. You NEED to win this match! Garvin: YOU scheduled me a match? When? DJ: Now Garvin: Now? Against who? (DJ points to the ring where Chaz Taylor is making his way into the studio) Garvin: This is outrageous! Pedicino: Folks, we'll be right back with Terrance Garvin vs…….Chaz Taylor. ====================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ====================== MATCH #2: Chaz Taylor defeated Terrance Garvin w/Dark Journey by DQ when Garvin hit Chaz with with a blatant low blow in front of the referee. Dark Journey was clearly not pleased and giving Garvin an earful as they left the ring ====================== (The song "Texas (when I die)" by Tanya Tucker plays in the studio as Ronnie P. Gossett comes out wearing a cowboy hat and a western style shirt and cowboy boots as both Jimmy Jack Funk and Killer Tim Brooks are waving Texas state flags, moments later the new Southeastern Heavyweight Champion "Flamboyant" Eric Embry comes out wearing a flashy new robe with the Southeastern Championship belt draped over his shoulder) RPG: I can't believe we are this far into this television show before you bring out YOUR Southeastern Heavyweight Champion! Ladies and Gentlemen, and I use that term loosely. Whether you are here in the studio or at home in your trailer park, get on your feet and show respect to YOUR Champion! Embry: Thank you Ronald for that proper introduction! Finally, you people have a Champion you can be proud of....finally you have a Champion who doesn't bark like a dog and embarrass the entire business every time he steps out in public. Platt: Um, Champ. Before you get too far down the road of insulting the former champion, you realize you have a rematch with the Junkyard Dog this Thursday, right? RPG: No, no, no Charlie Platt! You are misinformed. This man has thirty days to make a title defense, he's not putting that belt on the line this week against anyone much less the Junkyard Dog. Platt: Well, according to the General Manager, Jerry Stubbs the match is booked. Embry: First of all, I haven't signed a contract to defend this title and Second of all, we only deal with Ron Fuller, we go straight to the horse's head, we don't deal with the horse's ass. Jerry Stubbs, don't dictate nothin' to me! (Stubbs makes his way out) Stubbs: Ron Fuller isn't here today, he's off handling other business but he told me he wants this match this Thursday night in Birmingham. Embry: Well, tough luck Stubbs. He ain't getting that match unless I sign a contract for it and you ain't getting me to sign a contract for that match, not happenin man! (Gossett leans in and whispers something Embry, Embry makes a face but after further discussion, he seems to like RPG's suggestion and hands Gossett the mic) RPG: Look, if you want to do what Mr. Fuller asked of you....there's only one way it's happening, because you can't force Eric Embry to defend this title for 30 days, but if there's something in it for us....you'll get your match and your boss won't find out just yet that you're in over your head and can't handle this job. Stubbs: (hesistates then speaks) What are you asking for? RPG: If JYD wins, he's the new champion but WHEN Eric Embry beats JYD, I become the full time co-host of this television show. Platt: Oh, good Lord....Jerry, please don't agree to that. (Another One Bites the Dust by Queen plays and out comes the Junkyard Dog) JYD: Olympia, you and I go way back, brother. I lost my title last week without even being in the ring in some sorta stupid three match that never should have happened. You give me this match and the Dog will win back that belt! That's a promise. Stubbs: Dog, I wouldn't do this for anyone else but I'm going to go write this contract up. As long as you both sign it, it's happening. (Team Texas leaves to their song all smiles) ==================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ==================== MATCH #3: WINNERS GET A TAG TEAM TITLE SHOT THIS THURSDAY The Party Patrol (Johnny/Davey Rich) defeated The Bruise Brothers (Ron/Don Harris) when Johnny pinned Don Harris with a 'Thesz Press" ============================ (Jerry Stubbs comes out to the desk) Stubbs: After what took place earlier on this show, the Dream Machine issued a challenge to Bill Dundee to a one on one match in our Main Event here on TV today. Dundee in turn challenged them to a six man tag team match this Thursday in Birmingham with Bill/Dutch Mantell/a Mystery Partner taking on Doug Gilbert/Dream Machine/Jamie Dundee! Surprisingly, they have accepted so it's been added to the card! ==================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ==================== MATCH #4: Vic Steamboat pinned Freight Train McClain with a flying bodypress off the top rope ==================== (As Steamboat prepares to exit the ring, the People's Court theme plays and out comes Alberto Madril - Attorney at Law) Pedicino: Mr. Madril, what brings you out here, you're not scheduled to be here. Madril: I am here on behalf of my client, Armando Guerrero the United States Junior Heavyweight Champion. Victor Showboat, there's no reason you should be getting a rematch this week with my client but a contract came across my desk where you are getting a rematch with ME barred from the building and for some reason that I can't begin to figure out, my favorite lucha wrestler El Toro is also barred from the building as well, meaning he can't wrestle and make money for his family back in Mexico. Steamboat: Oh, come off it Madril. Everyone saw it was you when the "Latin Love Machine's" mask came off. Everyone knows El Toro is YOU and everyone knows any other so called "masked luchadore" that shows up around here will be you too. Madril: How DARE you!?!? I have never worn a mask in my life, covering this face would be the only crime I've ever commited! Steamboat: Well, I'll see you hear next week when I'm the NEW U.S. Jr. Heavyweight Champion, when I have Guerrero one on one this week. Madril: I OBJECT! Steamboat: OVERRULED! Madril: Son of a………..DAMMIT! (storms off) ==================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ==================== MAIN EVENT MATCH #5 "Superstar" Bill Dundee VS. The Dream Machine Highlights: Bill Dundee hits the ring wide open and tears right into the Dream Machine! It's a wild brawl and Dundee is getting the best of Graham until Doug Gilbert and J.C. Ice Baby run in to help. They beat down on Bill Dundee three on one for a few moments until Dutch Mantell hits the ring followed by what Charlie Platt assumes is Dundee/Mantell's mystery partner……"Nature Boy" Buddy Landel! The odds are now even and after a few moments, the Memphis Mafia retreat from the ring. Dundee and company go to the interview area with Joe Pedicino. Pedicino: Well guys, it looks the mystery partner may no longer be a mystery. Landel: I really hated to spoil the surprise for Thursday but there wasn't any way in the world I was going to sit back and look at the monitor and watch those three goofs attack my old pal, "Superstar" Bill Dundee! Billy, I've been telling you that boy of yours ain't right since he got a DUI driving home from kindergarten. Pedicino: He was driving in kindergarten? Mantell: To be fair, he was sixteen at the time. (Buddy and Dutch have a good laugh) Dundee: (chuckles) Alright you two, listen….Jamie is a good boy, he just needs me to give him a bit of an attitude adjustment. Landel: Well, I can promise you one thing, if I get my hands on him down there Thursday night, I'll give him more than a attitude adjustment, and as for the other two, we'll show you boys that WE'RE the REAL Memphis Mafia, you guys are the Memphis Jabroni boys. Pedicino: Fans, here's the full card, we'll see you there on Thursday! ======================== Southeastern Championship Wrestling Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, Alabama Thursday January 15, 1991 Bell Time: 7pm ***MAIN EVENT*** Southeastern Heavyweight Title (Embry's Title vs. RPG becoming Co-Host) "Flamboyant" Eric Embry w/RPG VS.

ErictheDragon Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 JC Ice crosses the line by hitting his own father with the chair. Olympia ii tries to get a piece of Miller. Garvin is told he's in the doghouse. Team Texas uses Embry's title as leverage and now RPG may get his coveted co-host spot. The Rich's get themselves a shot at the tag straps. Ya know, I;m starting to suspect that Alberto isn't as good a lawyer as he thinks he is. Bill and Mantell bring in Budro to even the score as we get a Memphis civil war at this week's Birmingham show.

ErictheDragon Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Starr gets caught in the act. Taylor finds out how mean Miller is. Armando's tricks get his team the win. J.C didn't have much fun at the Party. Papa Bill is much more successful. Whatley & Olympia just shot to the top of the tag ranks. Embry needs help to escape with his title.
LastStopTour Posted January 13 Report Posted January 13 Is the same show run through the entire house circuit? Just wondering because it is a very good show.
kevinmcfl Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Very realistic house show! I love the babyface chasing the titles. JYD and Pez with Mr. Olympia II are in hot pursuit!
Jimmy Jack Punk Posted January 14 Author Report Posted January 14 4 hours ago, LastStopTour said: Is the same show run through the entire house circuit? Just wondering because it is a very good show. Yeah, eventually we'll split it into two separate crews for some of the smaller towns. Once, we're more established.
KingBoggs33 Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Fun collection of shows. I really think that card would deliver really well. It's really cool seeing JYD get some shine. I know his match on the loop ended with a DQ due to interference, but it's nice seeing The Dog get the main event spot here in SECW. I have always had a soft spot for Buddy Landel. I am excited to see what you have planned for him.
Jimmy Jack Punk Posted January 15 Author Report Posted January 15 Southeastern Championship Wrestling Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, Alabama Thursday January 15, 1991 Bell Time: 7pm Chaz Taylor pinned Terrance Garvin w/Dark Journey with a small package when Dark Journey attempt to disctract Chaz ended up distracting Garvin instead. Garvin and DJ had a heated argument all the way up the aisle leaving the ring. Return - U.S. Junior Heavyweight Championship (Both Al Madril & El Toro are barred from the building) Armando Guerrero pinned Vic Steamboat with a school boy roll up and a handful of tights, when Vic Steamboat became distracted about 8 minutes in when "Bad to the Bone" started to play in the arena and the masked man, Alabama fans know as the Bullet started making his way down the aisle, wearing a red satin jacket, gym shorts and a red mask with white trim and big letter 'B' on the top, once Guerrero got the pin, the Bullet turned and left. Ringside fans noted that the open mouth on the mask seemed to reveal an unfamiliar black moustache on the Bullet that he never had in the past. The Southern Rockers (Rex King/Steve Doll) defeated The Mercenaries (Fidel Sierra/Ron Starr) when King pinned Sierra with a sunset flip off the top rope. After the match, The Bruise Brothers (Ron/Don Harris) hit the ring and attacked the Southern Rockers leaving them laying SPECIAL CHALLENGE MATCH "Mean" Mike Miller pinned Mr. Olympia II when J.C. Ice came out and jumped on the apron distracting referee Larry Brock, allowing Doug Gilbert to run in and break a beer bottle over the head of Olympia II, Miller quickly covered him for the win SOUTHEASTERN TAG TEAM TITLES Team Texas (Jimmy Jack Funk/Killer Tim Brooks) w/RPG wrestled The Party Patrol (Johnny/Davey Rich) to a 15 minute time limit draw SEMI-MAIN EVENT SIX MAN TAG TEAM GRUDGE MATCH "Superstar" Bill Dundee/"Dirty" Dutch Mantell/"Nature Boy" Buddy Landel defeated Jamie Dundee/Doug Gilbert/Dream Machine when Landel made Jamie Dundee submit to the figure leglock Post match: Mantel and Landel left ringside celebrating their victory, not realizing that Bill Dundee fell behind as Jamie laid in the ring clutching his leg yelling, "he broke it! He broke my damn leg!!" Bill Dundee remained around ringside as Gilbert and Graham checked on Jamie, Bill finally slid into the ring and pushed them out of the way to check on his son. Jamie continue to clutch his leg in pain as Bill tried to console when Jamie suddenly stopped yelling….and laughed, Bill looked around and realized he was surrounded by Doug Gilbert, Dream Machine, and now "Mean" Mike Miller who has also joined them……they all pounce on Bill Dundee as Jamie jumps up and joins in as well…..they put the boots to him and then pick him up and give him a spike piledriver before Buddy and Dutch come running back in to try and make the save but they are outnumbered and eventually fall victim to the numbers as well and are left laying as Eric Embry and Ronnie P. Gossett make their way down to the ring for their match but just point and laugh at the Memphis bunch all fighting amongst themselves. ***MAIN EVENT*** Southeastern Heavyweight Title (Embry's Title vs. RPG becoming Co-Host) "Flamboyant" Eric Embry w/RPG pinned The Junkyard Dog after the referee got bumped allowing the "The Bullet" to return to ringside and this time he threw a fireball into the face of JYD before retreating back to the locker room, referee William Faulk crawled over and made the three count. Jerry Stubbs and an EMT came out to attend to JYD after the match as Embry and Team Texas celebrated in the ring
KingBoggs33 Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 The Bullet causing mayhem all over the place. I enjoyed the post-match angle with Jamie playing hurt to spring the trap on Bill. I always love a good fireball angle and JYD on the hurt side of it. You already know that when he gets healed, he is coming for revenge. Great show!
ErictheDragon Posted January 15 Report Posted January 15 Garvin & DJ still can't get on the same page. The Southern Rockers get the won but the Bruise Brothers spoil the celebration. Mean Mike takes his place in the Memphis Mafia. Jamie suckers his old man in. Love the scene of Embry and RPG laughing at the whole thing. Somebody better console Platt because RPG finally has his co-host spot thanks to....The Bullet?
kevinmcfl Posted January 16 Report Posted January 16 Throwing a fireball in the face of JYD... who is this Bullet! Wow... what a scene with the Dundees... talk about instant heat! Awesome. Some early show run-ins... perfect Southern style rasslin Awesome show
spaldoni Posted January 17 Report Posted January 17 You always do an amazing job hyping up the big card every week. You make every match mean something. Things get to a boiling point between the Dundees. Things get even crazier when Budro shows up. I love this story. Mean Mike and Olympia 2 brawling into the parking lot was great TV Garvin seems to be on Rod and DJ's list Alberto can never get his objection sustained JYD makes a big promise. I know that sold more tickets. I have to admit, I think it would be hilarious getting RPG back on commentary Boutwell Auditorium Now Garvin's really in the doghouse Armando always finds a loophole, Hmmmmm, who can the Bullet be??? Southern Rockers give the fans some excitement but the Harris Brothers spoil it A beer bottle shot, damn! I think Stubbs enemies have become Olympia 2's as well Looks like a rematch for the tag titles is coming Budro shines with the figure four but the celebration doesn't last long as Dundee takes a big time beating. That chair shot by JC has started a family blood feud WOW! It takes a fireball by the Bullet for Embry to retain and it also gives RPG his old job back. I wouldn't want to be the Bullet when JYD comes back. After all this, I can't wait to tune in to see what's next.
Jimmy Jack Punk Posted Sunday at 11:57 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 11:57 PM Southeastern Championship Wrestling Ep. 5 From the WTVY Channel 4 Studios in Dothan, Alabama Airing on various stations across Alabama & Mississippi Pre-recorded airing on the weekend of 1/17/91 Host: Charlie Platt Co-Host: Joe Pedicino (the show opens with a montage of random Southeastern Wrestling clips from the different incarnations over the years, we then go to the desk to our hosts Charlie Platt and Joe Pedicino) Platt: Hello and welcome back once again to Southeastern Championship Wrestling, I'm Charlie Platt joined as always by my co-host the one and only, Joe Pedicino. Pedicino: Thank you Joe, it's my pleasure as alw…..(before Pedicino can finish, Ronnie P. Gossett and Eric Embry make their way out) Embry: Get out of the co-host's chair, FAT BOY! We beat the Junkyard Dog so now Ronald P. Gossett is officially the co-host of the show so Charlie Platt, give him a proper introduction like you did Pedicino! Platt: (puts his head in his hands for a moment) Fans, please welcome the man who apparently is going to be co-hosting this week's show…..Ronnie P. Gossett. RPG: Not just THIS week! Every week, I'll be here if JYD wants to go again we can beat him again and make Eric Embry the new HOST. Platt: Well, we'll talk more about this later but JYD is currently out of action due to the fireball your masked friend threw at him while the referee was down. RPG: My friend? Bob Armstrong is no friend of mine, he must have an old score to settle with JYD…… Platt: That wasn't Bob Armstrong! Embry: Platt, do you think we're stupid? Everyone has known for years that the Bullet is Bob Armstrong! Platt: Give me a break, that was Al Madril and you know it! RPG: Al Madril was barred from the building, he wasn't even there, in fact I was told that he had accompanied his friend El Toro to Mexico to handle some legal business for him. Alberto Madril is the number one lawyer in Mexico City and he's not even a Mexican. Platt: Ron, is this really happening with Gossett as co-host? (Fuller comes down from the control booth) Fuller: It was in the contract that if Embry won, Gossett would become the full time co-host. As far as all the Al Madril shenanigans I'm trying to see what can be done about that. (The People's Court theme plays and Alberto Madril comes out in his suit carrying his brief case) Madril: I have stood behind that curtain for as long as I could listening to you people slander my good name with false allegations about my alleged involvement in Birmingham when I wasn't even in these United States. I was in Mexico. Fuller: What were you doing in Mexico? Madril: Um, well….not that it's any of your business….allegedly…..uh, I went down there to help my friend Rey Misterio get custody of his son……Rey Misterio Jr. His wife…….Mrs…..Misterio is trying to leave and take the son with her and I'm his attorney in the matter, and legally that's all I'm allowed to say….you know due to……habeas corpus….allegedly. Fuller: Are you just repeating words you heard on Perry Mason? Madril: Overruled! Fuller: You can't overrule a question? Madril: Sustained. Fuller: What? Madril: I deny all charges of being the Bullet in Birmingham and ask that this case be dismissed on the grounds of alleged false pretenses in the third degree as outlined in the case of Ali vs. Frasier. Fuller: Boy, what the hell are you talking about? Madril: I request we take a recess! Fuller: Request granted, please leave! Madril: Thank you, your honor. (Madril runs away as Embry and Gossett look dumbfounded) Platt: Let's go to the ring…….please. ======================= MATCH #1: "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel pinned Roy Moss after a corkscrew elbow drop Gossett mentions on commentary that Landel is the only one of that Memphis bunch he has any respect for but as long as he's hanging around Bill Dundee and Dutch Mantell he'll be a loser. ======================= COMMERCIAL BREAK ======================= (The Memphis Mafia (Doug Gilbert/Dream Machine/JC Ice/Mike Miller) make their way into the interview area now led by Tommy Gilbert) Pedicino: Well, I had heard a rumor that you had turned up at some Southeastern events last week but here you are, to what do we owe the pleasure of your presence, Mr. Tommy Gilbert? TG: Well, since Bill Dundee decided to invoke my name here on television recently and quite frankly I was getting bored being retired, I decided I would hit the road and help guide my boy Doug and his friends here in their endeavors against this bunch of lowlifes their having issues with here in Southeastern. Pedicino: Are you aware, Tommy that these so called "bunch of lowlifes" as your referring to them are only here because of the havoc that your son and his cronies have been causing around here? JC Ice: Cronies? Who are you calling cronies, fat boy? No, the reason they are here is because my ex-father Bill Dundee can't keep his nose outta my business and his buddies Dutch and Buddy just follow him around so he can get them a job or else, Dutch would be drunk on a beach in Puerto Rico and Buddy would probably be overdosed in a hotel somewhere with a 'lady of the night'. Pedicino: Whoah, this isn't Memphis you can't just go around saying whatever you want on television down here. DG: Actually, yes we can Joe Pedicino because the Memphis Mafia does what we want, when we want, and to whoever we want and there's nothing you can do about it! There's nothing that bald headed geek Jerry Stubbs can do about it and there's nothing that big goof Ron Fuller can do about it. So if I just wanted to haul off and say right now that everybody knows that Mr. Olympia II is Brian Adias, you couldn't stop me! (Pedicino jerks away the microphone as Dundee and Miller die laughing) (Jerry Stubbs comes out) Stubbs: I'm about sick and tired of you guys already. Listen, I've signed an eight match tag team elimination match this Thursday in Birmingham with the four of you against Dundee, Landel, Mantell, and Olympia II. You guys can all go out there and beat each other to death but that's enough of you guys out here talking. You've got a match, get to the ring. ======================= MATCH #2: The Memphis Mafia (JC Ice/Doug Gilbert/Dream Machine/Mike Miller) w/Tommy Gilbert defeated Tommy Norris/The Starfighter/Phil Wilson/Benny McGhee when Miller pinned Wilson after a piledriver ====================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ====================== (Joe Pedicino brings out Bill Dundee, Buddy Landel, Dutch Mantel, and the Dream Machine to the interview area) Pedcino: Bill, Jerry Stubbs announced that big eight man tag team elimination match against Jamie and his Memphis Mafia this Thursday In Birmingham. Dundee: Joe, listen….I'm fine with having that match this week but I'm letting everybody know right here and now. I will not under any circumstances fight my boy, Jamie. I know he can be a bit of an a**hole, he's been one his entire life and most people will tell ya he gets it from his Daddy, but he's just going through a phase right now and I will not fight him under any circumstances. Landel: Look Bill, that's just fine. You won't have to fight that little a**hole because Dutch and I are going to be in a race to see which one of us can get our hands on him first and knock him out of this little 'phase' you say he's going through. Mantell: You got that right, he's been going through a phase since he was about eight years ago because he's always been a little smart mouth jerk that needed his teeth slapped out and as far as Tommy Gilbert showing up, Tommy Gilbert if you give me half the chance, we'll send you to a retirement home for good because you'll be bed ridden when I'm done with you. Pedicino: I noticed that Stubbs mentioned Mr. Olympia II will be your partner on Thursday, but I notice he's not joining you right now. Dundee: Look, I don't know much about Mr. Olympia II besides what Doug Gilbert said about him out here earlier but I was told he's not here today but he'll definitely be there Monday night and they say he's got an axe to grind with Mike Miller so that's just fine with us. ====================== MATCH #3: "Superstar" Bill Dundee/"Dirty" Dutch Mantell defeated Tojo Fargo/Bobby White when Dundee pinned White with a "Bombs Away" sit down splash off the top rope ====================== Charlie Platt goes over the "Southeastern on Tour" dates for the week ====================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ====================== ('Texas When I die" by Tanya Tucker plays as Team Texas make their way out) Pedicino: A rematch has been signed for Thursday night as Jimmy Jack Funk and Killer Brooks will face The Rich Cousins in a rematch but his week there will be a 30 minute time limit. Embry: That's just fine, that just means that Brooks and Funk have an extra 15 minutes they can beat on these two punks from Tennessee before they BEAT them! Now, let's get down to business. I am your Southeastern Heavyweight Champion which makes me a top contender to the USWA World Heavyweight Championship! So I'm issuing a challenge right now to Randy "Macho Man" Savage, I want my shot at the title and I don't care if you come here or I have to come up to Memphis, if you've got the guts to give me a shot, I'll be the new USWA World Heavyweight Champion. ("Pistol" Pez Whatley makes his way out) Whatley: Listen here Mr. Embry. Since now seems to be the time for challenges, allow ME to issue my own challenge to YOU for your USWA Southeastern Heavyweight title. Embry: Son, I'm not sure who you think you are, but you're not a contender for my title. You haven't beaten anyone to earn a shot at this title. Whatley: Boy, don't play dumb with me! You know who I am, you know who I've beaten. For starters, you used to have another member of yo' Texas Team out here called Kabuki who liked to spit in people's eyes and hit 'em with them karate sticks but I beat his butt and he quickly left town…..just for starters. Embry: Look son, it doesn't matter who you've beaten. You can't beat me and you haven't earned a shot so go challenge somebody you might have a chance against. Whatley: First of all, I ain't yo son. That's first and foremost. But how about this? Since I can't beat you and I can't beat nobody anyway…how bout you give me a non-title match right here today on TV instead of the scrub I'm supposed to wrestle and if what you say is true, I'll lose anyway and you'll have another win to show Randy Savage….but if you're a liar and I beat YOU, then I get a shot in Birmingham. RPG: Whatley, you are out of your element. Sure, you got lucky and beat my man Kabuki and I sent Kabuki back to Singapore to be punished for the loss, but you aren't in the league of "Flamboyant" Eric Embry. Whatley: Then what better way to prove it than to beat me on TV and shut my mouth. Come on Embry, show the "Macho Man" what you're all about. Embry: You know what……fine, let's do it. I'll beat you here today in the main event and then I'll have Thursday night off unless Savage wants to come give me my World title shot. Platt: Ok guys, we have another match scheduled right now, we'll get with General Manager Jerry Stubbs make this match official in place of the match Pez had scheduled with the Shadow here today. ======================== MATCH #4: The Bruise Brothers (Ron/Don Harris) defeated The Rock & Soul Express (Derrick Dukes/JT Southern) when Don Harris pinned Southern after a big boot to the face ======================== COMMERCIAL BREAK ======================== MATCH #5: MAIN EVENT NON-TITLE MATCH "Pistol" Pez Whatley pinned Southeastern Champion "Flamboyant" Eric Embry with a flying headbutt to earn a title shot this Thursday night in Birmingham Post match: Gossett leaves the desk to join Embry in having a breakdown in the ring as Whatley celebrates amongst the studio fans ========================= (CUT TO A RUNDOWN OF THIS THURSDAY'S CARD IN BIRMINGHAM) Southeastern Championship Wrestling Boutwell Auditorium Birmingham, Alabama Thursday January 22, 1991 Bell Time: 7pm **MAIN EVENT** EIGHT MAN ELIMINATION TAG TEAM MATCH "Dirty" Dutch Mantell "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel "Superstar" Bill Dundee Mr. Olympia II vs. The Memphis Mafia-w/Tommy Gilbert J.C.

ErictheDragon Posted Monday at 01:34 AM Report Posted Monday at 01:34 AM RPG is back in the co-host seat and Alberto Madril wows the audience with another dazzling display of legal mastery. Great build up to the big 8 man tag this Thursday. Embry runs his mouth and now has to defend against Whatley. Stacked card coming to Birmingham.
kevinmcfl Posted Monday at 02:08 AM Report Posted Monday at 02:08 AM I love all the drama that Southeastern provides each week... There is always some mystery to figure out or some match that needs to happen to decide something. The Embry win over JYD was bad enough but now we get RPG as the co-host... While he drives me crazy, the humor is undeniable. Speaking of humor, awesome job with Al Madril! From the mustached Bullet to the lawyer thing, he is money! Great family drama with the Dundees! Also, good hire bringing in Tommy Gilbert! Tojo Fargo is one of my favorite jobber names in the history of Dawn of War! While tonight's football game with Chicago and the Rams is pretty good so far, this was much better. Great work!
spaldoni Posted Tuesday at 10:39 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 10:39 PM You know it's going to be a fun show when RPG and Alberto are in the opening segment. Alberto sure has a way with words LOL Great time for Tommy Gilbert to come out of retirement. The Memphis war is in full gear and the upcoming 8 man tag is going to be off the charts. I love the side stories like Bill refusing to fight his son and the Olympia 2 mystery. Embry walked right into Whatley's trap and I hope the Macho Man caught this show. Excellent set up for Thursday The Bruise Brothers look good and Southern Rockers better be ready. Another big night coming to Birmingham
LastStopTour Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM The Al Madril segment was kinds of fun. The Perry Mason reference was priceless then Madril hightailing it out of there before having to explain anything (even Ali vs. Frazier case) made it even better. This is opening segment gold. Lots of a**holes dropped on TV - 1991, I'm thinking that isn't happening. Memphis Mafia stirs up a bit of trouble, moreso adding Tommy Gilbert to the mix. They will have their hands full at the Birmingham show despite Bill Dundee declaring he won't wrestle his son. The rest of the team has more than enough firepower to handle a very young Jamie. Pistol Pez worked Embry like a rube to get that eventual shot at the title. The rest of the Birmingham card looks super solid.
