DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: Deep South Wrestling retro review
I got this show off YouTube and it doesn’t have an exact date (it literally says 1988 maybe 1987). Anyway, this is The Assassin Jody Hamilton’s promotion out of Atlanta featuring a guy who LITERALLY can’t count to three as an announcer and a lineup of Southern regional castoffs, also-rans, and Great Value-brand wrestlers. We have Great Value Rock & Roll Express who LITERALLY WERE THE DING DONGS AT ONE POINT, Great Value Nightmares, Great Value Jerry Lawler, original recipe Randy Rose (who cuts an unbelievably bad promo), and more. What a show.
