Bruce Walkup was one of those Legendary Jobbers like Jake "The Milkman" Milliman(AWA) Terry Gibbs(WWE) Steve Lombardi(WWE) The Mulkeys(NWA) and Steve Gatorwolf(WWE)
Love how they sold how hurt Walkup was supposed to have been cutting away to the NWA middle turnbuckle. Couldn't see anything but that NWA turnbuckle and hear Ladd screaming as he's "injuring" Walkup.
After scientific wrestler Ernie Ladd wrestles a technical match and wins a non-controversial pinfall victory over Bruce Walkup, JJ Dillon dares to tell the truth about the grappler and his family from No Place Alabama. Thank you Ernie Ladd and JJ Dillon for giving Bruce Walkup the beat down he demanded. Those are the breaks.
gordon solie was one of the biggest agitators in the country. what nerve- to insinuate jj would stoop to some chicanery- it aint his fault the fool jumped into a steel cage with terry funk. u heard it- he tried everything in his power to stop this thing... and then he turns around and signs on the dotted line vs ernie ladd. frankly- thats the breaks... god i still love my old school rasslin!
Solie's just a drunk TV announcer. What does he know? He's such a Homer. He's prolly not wearing pants. Walkup should've used that telegram money, to buy some soap to wash his dirty kids, like JJ said. James J. Dillon, Manager to the Stars. Future Financial Advisor at Tully Blanchard Ent..
Walkup was billed as a Alabama trailer trash chump and was always worked over by other name wrestlers. Very strange member of the jobber hall of shame. He was gone from Florida as soon as he got there.
This channel proves J.J. Dillon's insufferably bombastic prediction correct and incorrect. Before his 2016 death, whereupon he was remembered fondly by a number of News sources, Eufaula, Alabama native Bruce Walkup is remembered for a 1982 moment of curious glory. Incidentally, there was also a Race Car Driver named Bruce Walkup. Which explains that Dusty Rhodes might've booked this with Gordon Solie in mind. Gordon Solie started out on the Mic as an Auto Racing Announcer!🤔🎤🏁🤼♂️B.W.
Angle? The man has nine mouths to feed back in Alabama and has been permanently blinded by Ernie "Muhammad" Ladd. I am shocked the FBI was not called in to examine this situation.
To put it mildly. Ladd's big foot barely grazes his shoulder and he goes down for the count. This was a terrible angle. It might have worked better if one of the faces in the territory took Bruce under his wing and gradually made a wrestler out of him, but that never happened.
Thats the best jobber angle I've seen! Thanks.

LEGEND HAS IT THAT BRUCE IS STILL TRYING TO RESTART HIS WELDING CAREER IN ALABAMA
Walker Should have stayed at his day job if he can't hang with the big cat.

A young, pre-ECW Bill Alfonso as the referee
JJ certainly started wearing much nicer suits when he went over to JCP and started managing the horsemen.
Great stuff

Was Global Wrestling CWF's sister program?
Yes.
Where the HELL were they going with this angle???

Welding must be the big thing down there and this guy can't do it w one eye.
Was Bruce Walkup the prototype of Heath Slater?😏🎤🤼♂️B.W.
Bruce Walkup....as opposed to his tag team partner Patrick "Advance" Presale
Bruce was not a good worker at this point but check out his "cage match" with Terry Funk...his beatdown was more convincing.
nope...his match with Ladd was shit.
To put it mildly. Ladd's big foot barely grazes his shoulder and he goes down for the count. This was a terrible angle. It might have worked better if one of the faces in the territory took Bruce under his wing and gradually made a wrestler out of him, but that never happened.
In this match you can see how fake wrestling really was
😂
