Ron Fuller

And they were on top for about seven, eight months.

They had a real famous feud with the Fullers, Buddy Fuller and Ron Fuller and Robert Fuller.

They had a Mississippi chain match in the Mid-South Coliseum that drew like 10,000 people.

They were with another English guy named Johnny Gray.

Johnny Gray, yeah.

So Johnny Gray and Bill Dundee and George Barnes against Buddy Fuller, Ron Fuller, and Robert Fuller.

And so that feud ran its course.

And then George Barnes got homesick and went back to Australia.

We also have an RIP Bill Dundee playlist with, uh, some of the best stuff that's out there, of course from Memphis Wrestling and from the Tennessee territory.

The amazing tag team match with, uh, Bill Dundee and George Barnes against, uh, Ron and Robert Fuller, and then the, uh, Mississippi Chain match with, uh, b- the three Fullers, uh, Buddy, Robert, and Ron Fuller, and, uh, Bill Dundee, George Barnes, and Johnny Gray.

Uh, that is out there as well.

And so, lots of great stuff, um, that we could spend several days just, uh, watching and admiring the career of the superstar, Bill Dundee.

Uh, like I mentioned, the All Asia Tag Team Championship with brother Ted, uh, they won it in Tokyo in October of '76 for Baba in All Japan.

They were the National Tag Team champions once TBS went up on satellite.

Uh, Jerry Oates and Ronnie Garvin beat the Road Warriors on the 4th of July on 1984 in Columbus, Georgia, which was a huge night.

Never talked to Jerry about that.

And as small as you guys were on that time of wrestling, you and George Barnes both about 5'8", 215 pounds, they all were 6'7", 6'8".

Not Ron Fuller was, to me.

He's a long-rangey guy.

So long-rangey guys and big bones weigh a lot more than you look.

Did he come with you? No, he was already here.

So he was working on Nick's end.

So when we wrestled Robert Fuller and Ron Fuller that Monday night, Johnny Gray snuck in and the two of us beat the hell out of them.

Got them down, got juiced, blah, blah, blah.

I do wanna say about that robe that you just mentioned, uh, Fuller, Robert didn't have those made.

Those are Ron Fuller's robes-

Ron's.

You told me that

She created Pigeon Forge of what it is now.

somebody had posted in a group about, they just wanted to imagine her seeing Ron and Whitey when they came to Sevierville in the 50s and 60s.

And I said, well, they didn't get to work for John Kazan until the 60s.

And Sevierville was such a small town then, and Pigeon Forge was even smaller then.

Yeah.

It was...

It was great in Waterloo to see Ron Fuller and Jeff interact with all the family history and everything.

Because Ron told me, you know, that day, because I was like, do you know Jeff? And before we went to the banquet and he's like, I met him, you know, like when he was a kid and stuff.

Okay.

On this night, the All-Star Wrestling Group, the one that split from Fuller.

Right.

So they were called the All-Star.

They ran this...

They've been running Chilhowee Park, which was where Fuller used to run before he started going to the Coliseum.

Okay.

And from all I've always read, they didn't draw good.
