The latest WWE and AEW News and Results
On the new Wrestling Weekly, Les Thatcher and I sit down with longtime wrestler, promoter, podcaster and author “The Tennessee Stud” Ron Fuller.
We discuss his book Brutus which is quite a departure from the wrestling business and how it came about as well as his days as an owner of multiple hockey franchises. He also reveals an interesting revelation about his future plans as well.
Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
Southeastern Championship Wrestling was built around the feud between “The Stud” Ron Fuller and “The Bullet” Bob Armstrong.
In late 1982, both men were babyfaces until Armstrong shocked everyone and turned heel, something few thought he could pull off. But, he did and it was incredible. What happened next is wrestling booking at its finest as Armstrong wants to be good again…but Ron’s not so sure.
Enjoy this look at the rivalry and storyline between “The Bullet” and “The Stud” on this episode of the DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Weekly, Les Thatcher and Vic Sosa talk all sorts of wrestling history with “The Tennessee Stud” Ron Fuller!
Along the way, you will hear about how far back Les and Ron’s friendship goes, why Ron went into promoting within 5-to-6 years of getting into the ring, various other business ventures that Ron has got into over the years (and how his wrestling background helped turn one of those businesses around), and why Ron loves doing his own podcasts these days.
Thanks for listening and have a great weekend~!
Many people mistakenly believe that the “Tennessee Stud” was Robert Fuller (AKA: Col. Rob Parker) since Robert and his cousin Jimmy Golden were active during the cable TV era and the end of the territories.
Together Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden were known as The Stud’s Stable but the original Stud’s Stable had actually existed long before. The first version of the stable was managed by Ron Fuller and included people like Arn Anderson, Lord Humongous, and others.
The original Tennessee Stud was the 6’9″ older brother Ron Fuller.
Fuller was a businessman who bought out territories and ran a huge geographic area from the Ohio River to the Gulf Coast. He owned the Nashville hockey team and made it successful in a region of the country where hockey had no foothold.
He wrestled multiple NWA world champions for the title and was a member of the NWA Board of Directors.
So why have so few people heard about Ron Fuller? In today’s show we will look at the man who could look Andre the Giant in the eyes, the Tennessee Stud Ron Fuller.
