Hannibal AEW. ?

[@mikes.7654]

The single most underappreciated wrestler/promoter in wrestling history. Gigantic influence on today's product and yet people have no idea this is the case. Love this guy too.

[@bobrobinson8310]

Ron Fuller is a wrestling wizard as far as knowledge of the business and he tells super stories about the business plus was a great wrestler and promoter.

[@kennydyas3606]

I agree wholeheartedly. The Stud was cream of the crop of southern wrestlers.

[@crisprtalk6963]

I could listen to Fuller tell stories all night.

[@misterslats]

Love this guy. Knew NOTHING about him before this interview other than he was a Welch. One of the MOST appreciated HannibalTV productions. Really good stuff!

[@randymiller3949]

In the 70s & early 80s I grew up in Gordon Alabama...about 20 miles south of Dothan Alabama. I went to the Houston Co Farm Center many, many Saturday nights to watch Ron & Robert Fuller, Bob Armstrong, Jimmy Golden, Austin Idol, Jerry Stubbs & Arn Anderson, & so many other great wrestlers that came through the Dothan area. Much love from Mobile Alabama.

[@davidterry919]

I know the area you are speaking of , my wife's family is from there , in a town called Brewton , I think . Her father worked at a paper mill in Cortland which is in North Alabama, they lived in Decatur , thats also in the North Alabama area. He used give me a hard time because I lived in a very small town called Moulton . The first time I went with her to a family reunion , he dad took me to the area he grew up in . I think it was called Pallard , or Pollard . There may have been 10 or 20 houses in that area with a sulfer water well right in the middle of town , and a railroad tracks on one end. It was way smaller than the town I grew up in. We also watched those same wrestlers but out of Birmingham Alabama. It came on at 12:00 am on Saturday night. Back in those days most TV stations in the south would go off the air at 2:00 am.

[@randymiller3949]

@@davidterry919 David...I've been a truck driver for close to 30 yrs now...I pull a chemical tank & go to a lot of chemical plants & paper mills. I know EXACTLY where Cortland, Pollard, Moulton, & Brewton are!!! I've been to the paper mill in Cortland & Brewton MANY MANY TIMES!!! Brewton is actually about 70 miles north of Mobile Alabama. I've been thru Moulton many time & I used to stop & eat at the Chinese buffet in Moulton where the Tractor Supply Store is now!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.

[@tylowe78]

A lot of wrestlers spent a lot of time in the south, especially TN AL GA and FL.

[@pooddescrewch8718]

Jerry Stubbs was a phenomenal talent

[@kevinlaw405]

Great Stuff! He's easy to listen to and what History!

[@brokengamer316]

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, I only got to read about the Stud Stable in the wrestling magazines. Great interview, as always, tremendous amount of wrestling history. Younger fans of today should watch this interview, they'll definitely learn something. Thank you so much Hannibal for what you do, you're a true class act.

[@chrismiddleton9978]

I've watched the Colonel Parker interview several times, and this is just as good. Great stories.

[@feloniousintent]

To say that this guy is a WRESTLING LEGEND is an understatement. One of the greatest wrestlers to ever compete in the squared circle. Should be #1 in a HOF.

[@trueyankee4767]

This is a man worth listening to and I believe every word he says.

[@jamesconsiglio2709]

One of your best interviews this is my fourth time watching this. Love it

[@Saber808]

The Stud has arrived

[@rict5878]

Hannibal , brother , us Ol school fans are so thankful for all you do!

[@rodzor]

I didn't really know much about him before this, but enjoyed every minute of this interview. Guy can seriously tell stories and keep you interested for the whole time. Some people trail off etc but all of this was on point. Great stuff.

[@silvioberlusconi5837]

Continental territory from the period of 85-86 is one of the greatest wrestling era of any territory/promotion in the wrestling history.

[@raleighwelborn7198]

One of my all time favorites!! Great, old school stuff!!!

[@mikefitchNYC1971]

This is my favorite Hannibal interview.

[@Masseydriver]

This was a great interview Hannibal, worth every minute!

[@Saber808]

Welch family. Most legit wrestling mafia.

[@manybirds7210]

Such a respectable man.and his brother also.

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Loved watching the Fuller's Don Carson Ron and Don Wright the Stomper Joe Leduc Ron Garvin Harley Race Jimmy Golden in Knoxville back when I was a kid.......

[@michaelbowen8923]

Notice how he had nothing bad to say about anyone. A true southern gentleman.

[@official_deathcast]

I've been waiting for this one. Great job Hannibal. I love your interviews.

[@crustafari]

Saw him wrestle Ric Flair for the NWA world championship at the Dothan Farm Center, around 1981. Unbelievable, epic match, The Stud had him licked but then of course heel Flair cheated and escaped with the belt ... crowd went absolutely nuts. Hard to describe that era unless you were there - Southeastern Championship Wrestling forever!!! (-:

[@kennydyas3606]

Anybody who knows anything about pro wrestling anywhere in the South, knows about Ron Fuller, the Tennessee Stud. This guy was one of the top wrestlers ever to enter the squared circle. Wish he would write a book about his career. An interview with both he and his brother Robert and cousin Jimmy Golden would be a real treat. Enjoy your retirement, Stud, you are one of the greatest wrestlers and promoters of all time. This was a very interesting interview and enjoyed watching him talk. He is one helluva storyteller. I just have so much respect for this man. Watched him many times in Mobile, Ala at Expo Hall and Boutwell Auditorium in Birmingham, Ala. His feuds with Bob "The Bullet" Armstrong are legendary.

[@70qq]

I think Ron has a SUPERSTUDCAST interview/show with him , Robert , and Jimmy all together available at tnstud.com

[@crisprtalk6963]

Ron was talking about Florida in 74... I was an 11 year old kid in Daytona Beach then and man wrestling was fantastic! WE loved it. Saw many matches in Deland at the national guard armory. It was the hottest thing in the state.

[@christopherseaton7598]

This guy was one of my favorite werstlers him and his brother Robert Fuller and cousin jimmy golden continental and South East had really good matches they were doing things that wwf and the WCW started to copy

[@mikefitchNYC1971]

Awesome interview!

[@davidterry919]

Mr Hannibal , I would like to tell thank you for all these interviews. They bring back memories from 70's and 80's of me and my grandmother watching southern championship wrestling from Birmingham Alabama. Mr.Fuller was known as the Tennessee Stud. He had all the bad guys or heels as they called themselves. I remember Arn Anderson when he used the name Marty Lundge ..I think that was it , but anyway . My poor old loving grandmother would get spun up out of her frame. I never heard her use those type of words untill Mr Fuller or Jimmy Golden would cheat and Rick Flair would cause her blood pressure to shoot way up. She hated him , she would call him SOB and other words that I never knew she even knows , but thank you very much.

[@davidterry919]

I wasn't completely finished , I hit the wrong button. Back in those days there was no cable TV in this area, it was an antenna . I would have to go outside and turn it to the northwest so we could watch the memphis wrestling. It was not always plain ,but as long as it wasn't to bad fussy or the picture was rolling we would watch it. I watch wrestling now with my boys and there little ones ,but it's just not the same WWE don't have the story line or people like the story teller Mr Fuller. I remember him calling Austin Idol , Austin Idiot . He can tell some stories. Again thank you very much.

[@tylowe78]

I wonder why grandma's love wrestling? My grandmother and i used to watch wrestling too during the early 80s. When the wrestling came on you better not change the channel, lol. My grandmother used to like Sting. It was like a soap opera to her. Those were the days...

[@1magtini]

Ron Fuller was huge in Knoxville in the late 70s. Saw him wrestle Harley Race to an hour draw with Harley doing a flying head butt into a table on the floor in the Coliseum in 1978. Both guys bleeding, broke the attendance record

[@tysman621]

Love Ron Fuller . Good shit Hannibal

[@jackkeithley4934]

I love how both of the Fuller brother interviews on this channel are both 2 hours and 7 minutes long :D

[@sprayanprayoutdoors4906]

Continental was a great promotion

[@RichFrisk]

Great interview. The story on how Ron thinks Roop started the trouble in his Knoxville territory, its interesting because he started trouble in Northern Ca when he worked for Shires.,

[@Saber808]

Please do a part II of The Stud.

[@mazulon]

I enjoy listening to Ron. Great job at the interview as always, Hannibal.

[@TheHannibalTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@WhatAboutall]

70s & early 80s in wrestling, so many great comedy, drama movies and tv series that could be made. Wish we got more movies based in the wrestling business like how we get dramas based in the music business.

[@jasminekenny9160]

Great interview. One of the best i have ever watched.

[@pantangela]

Thanks so much!

[@crisprtalk6963]

This is the best wrestling interview! Ever!!

[@pooddescrewch8718]

[@austinha11]

[@johnwhiskey4286]

One of the greatest heel managers ever.

[@tommydoswell]

Use to go to the mobile municipal hall, ever Tuesday night for Continental championship wrestling. Before WWE ruined wrestling.

[@crichtonleprechaun5222]

Yep,Ray Hall had more heat than any heel!

[@billywilliams8753]

Ron is a great story teller.

[@Jim-Tuner]

The first territory he bought was from a promoter named John Cazana in 1974. Cazana was affiliated with Nick Gulas from the 1950s to the 1970s. Someone uploaded one of the Cazana wrestling programs from 1972 to youtube. Search for "John Cazana World of Wrestling (December 2nd, 1972)".

[@Saber808]

[@davidterry919]

I remember when all that happened , because we got cable about a month later. Then we could watch Wrestling on super station out of Atlanta. I never new any TV station to stay on 24 hours untill we got cable.

[@christopherseaton7598]

Sorry Ron I don't believe a lot of what you are saying come on man a crowd picking up and careing a Cadillac
