Interview from Smokey Mountain Wrestling 4/2/93 Arn Anderson-Rock and Roll Express vs Heavenly Bodies-Bobby Eaton vs Dutch Mantell-Robert Fuller-Jimmy Golden
Arn Anderson with the Rock and Roll Express?? Ricky's promos never really made a lot of sense, and he didn't disappoint. But it was good to see Bobby and Stan reunited.
@@brianezell5790 You do realize Jim Cornette is white don't you? In fact there is not one black person in the entire segment. Were you high when you watched this?
no one will believe me but i used to live in Charlotte NC 2 house down from Bobby the Beautiful and about 20 houses away from Arn Anderson. i got to meet rick flair and tons of guys when they would come over to see bobby or Arn. Their kids were just normal neighborhood kids and we all hung. such a good time in my childhood!
He is a flawless performer. He is text book perfect in the ring. He may not be the biggest draw of all time. But he is as good as any other worker in the business.
That video should be used as a training manual to show young wrestlers how to successfully do promos. You had some of the best talkers in the business in that video: Arn Anderson, Ricky Morton, Stan Lane, Dr. Tom Pritchard, Robert Fuller and Jim Cornette (who ran SMW) at that time. Old school promos at their finest!
you just witnessed 10 of the best wrestlers of that era. if you were lucky enough to c this match i bet it was a damn wild and crazy match. gotta love the old stuff. All hail memphis and smokey mt. wrestling.
The 4 Horseman! Arn Anderson and the boys were the SHIT! I love indie wrestling. You don't see today's wrestlers cut promos like they did back in the days.
Love the way they would mention whatever town they were working in multiple times to sell tickets. Ricky even had a Pikeville shirt on. Youd be surprised how adding little touches like this (the shirt) would help ticket sales. It helped build a connection with the fans. Was it just me or did Dr.Tom morph into Roddy Piper? Never realized how much these two sounded alike.
Watch Bobby Eaton in the background lol. I kinda think he was getting a little irritated after cornette started speaking and the one heavenly body guy kept annoying him with his belt and flicking his hair.
The Mt. Rushmore of wrestling announcers. 1) Lance Russell 2) Bob Caudle 3) Gordon Solie 4) Tony Schiavone. I enjoyed them as much as I did the wrestlers!!
i love arn anderson especially his comment about the life you save may be your own. AA one of the few left handed wrestlers ever him and the patriot pretty much in teh time i've watched post 1990.
Very nice to see a segment where all the wrestlers are still alive. (Lance Russell passed away and I don't know about the SMW interviewer guy) but All 9 wrestlers plus Jim Cornette and Les Thatcher are all still with us.
LoL. If Robert Gibson and Bobby Eaton ever formed a tag team, it would be the quietest team ever. During interviews, they'd just stare into the camera and nod. And smile every once in a while.
Gotta give it to Jim Cornette he knew how to make a match seem expecting he hyped this match very well and gave the other guys their do Territory wrestling is the best
Amen. The Rock's promos were almost the same every time. HBK's promos? I can't think of any line he's said that's been all that memorable other than the repeated ad nauseum DX catch phrases. Yet, I can still remember the first interview I saw of Arn Anderson, when he stared at the camera and to emphasize how serious he was said "Look close, this ain't a toothpaste commercial." Sounds kind of dumb, but the way he delivered it made it awesome.
Tom Prichard was one of THE best talkers in wrestling...He reminded me of Roddy Piper alot...And he was the Rock of the Continental Wrestling Federation...and the Bullet was the HUlk Hogan.
Some of the single greatest tag teams and tag team wrestlers to ever be in a match. If we could have fit The Fantastics and their partner Steve Keirn or Tommy Rich in there. It wouldve been near perfect. haha
