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.
