Jackie Fulton vs Bob Holly

“So, Bob Holly vs Jackie Fulton in 1990’s WCW. This is a TIGHT match here. I don’t know if it’s because Bob Holly is wearing Bret Hart’s tights, but it’s the best Holly match I’ve ever seen. If he worked this crisp and hard throughout his career, I think he could have gotten the NASCAR gimmick over on his work alone.
Speaking of 1990’s WCW, Mean Mark Callous is a great worker during this time. Taker is booger red for sure, but he’s charismatic, he’s leaping off top ropes, looking like a Mike Awesome of his day. From a work perspective, he’s probably doing too much and did a lot more with less. Question being, how did WCW let him get away? How could they not see the potential?”
Yeah, I dunno how they missed the boat with Mean Mark. Even doing the goofy Memphis shit like Master of Pain, you could tell he was gonna be a star. The ropewalk gimmick alone should have sustained him for years in WCW as a babyface.
As for the actual match here, Bob Holly talked about how fun and easy it was doing jobs in WCW, because it paid better than the indies and he made lots of good contacts in the process. I have to say, I don’t even remember the Fulton brothers teaming as the Fantastics. But then I know Rogers and Fulton had a bit of an acrimonious split before reuniting many years later.
