Eddie Marlin vs Tommy Gilbert (Cowboy Boot Match, 4-4-88) Classic Memphis Wrestling

[@AldenRDavis]

Rest in heaven, Mr. Eddie Marlin

[@nazgul12000]

That music is priceless!!

[@440gohorse]

At the end when Gilbert came off top rope with a boot on Marlin’s back, that had to hurt.

[@michaelorick2065]

What a great match of two southern Ledgends

[@aronray6156]

The first time I ever saw Eddie Marlin was in 1988 in Dallas @ the Cotton Bowl for the "Texas vs Tennessee" shoot out! It was the Texas crew of Kerry and Kevin Von Erich with Frank Dusak against the Tennessee crew of Jerry Lawler, and Jeff Jerret with Eddie Marlin! This was all happening when Jerry Jarrett bought into WCCW! "World Class Wrestling" was just about all but done in Texas!

Tommy Gilbert delivers some street justice.

I love this match.

[@michaelorick2065]

Pray for Doug Gilbert for good things for him in his life he's a great wrestler also from a great wrestling family

[@donjulio4025]

Earlier he was holding the left side of his head, hear he has a bandage on the righthand side,

I Kinda Wish I Knew More About FNN Score Back When I Was a Kid ... WOW!

87-88 Was the Time I Was Starting to Have Cable (Cable TV of Jersey City, Later Comcast), & If I Knew About This Channel - & if My Local Cable System Had FNN - I'd Probably Be in Front of the TV Pretty Much Every Saturday Night

They showed All California Championship Wrestling & Hawaii Wrestling too

[@andrewclayterman6230]

Financial News Network.. yes.. the Hawaii shows were great..

[@busch231]

Well, this is an oddity - a very bloody match in which two old pros compete not for a pin or a submission but to be the first to remove both of the other guy's cowboy wrestling boots.

[@stephenbianchi7141]

Boots Hartman Kinda strange... I get that the promoter shouldn't pin the rassler, though.

[@jad43701]

@@stephenbianchi7141 If you listen early on, you will hear that they used to be partners and held the tag belts for a long 3 years.

[@jamie.777]

Tommy and Eddie are awesome

[@tyronebranch8711]

at least this wrestling was real not fake like wwe

[@kevinjohnson-lf3kj]

Excellent Major Band-Aid on Forehead.

CLASSIC Memphis gimmick match!

Remember.."These Toes are Sharp" Lance

[@spurmarks]

No spurs?

[@stephenbianchi7141]

spurmarks That's amazing heel heat... Have a suspicious bag in your corner with all the fans waiting for you to cheat with it. Towards the end, open the bag up, and attach your spurs.

i cant believe how empty the mid south coliseum was during this whole time memphis fans suck i was dying up here in the northeast watching hulk hogan on a cartoon dying for action like this a black eye for southern fans

[@cub35guy]

hot dad type eddie marlin humiliated

[@emeek91]

Empty seats at Mid South Coliseum.

[@creepycrespi8180]

Tommy whipped his ass. When Gilbert & Marlin were tag team partners, Tommy always carried the match. Marlin was always just a jobber.

[@josephpomar6780]

Wrestling was really going downhill as can be seats by the thousands of empty seats at The Memphis Coliseum.

[@josephpomar6780]

can be seen, sorry
