- Stud Stable
The Stud Stable was a
professional wrestling heel stable inWorld Championship Wrestling ,Southeast Championship Wrestling and theContinental Wrestling Association .History
The Stud Stable was first formed by "The Original Tennessee Stud" Ron Fuller in Southeastern Championship Wrestling in the early 1980s. His version included Fuller's cousin
Jimmy Golden , a youngArn Anderson and the maskedLord Humongous (not Sid Vicious, but the original Lord Humongous)). They feuded with "Mr. Olympia" Jerry Stubbs,Austin Idol andBob Armstrong , as well as Armstrong's sons, Brad, Scott and Steve.The next version was created by Ron's brother
Robert Fuller in the mid-late 1980s. [Foley, Mick. Have A Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks (p.116)] Between 1986 and 1989 in the Continental and Memphis areas, members included Fuller, Golden,Dutch Mantel ,Wendell Cooley , Detroit Demolition,Tom Prichard ,The Flame , Cactus Jack, [Foley, Mick. Have A Nice Day: A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks (p.117)]Brian Lee andGary Young . They wrestled in the Continental and in the CWA promotions and feuded with the Armstrong family, Cooley andThe Nightmares in Continental, and withJerry Lawler andJeff Jarrett in Memphis.Another version of the Stud Stable was formed in
Smoky Mountain Wrestling that contained Robert Fuller, Jimmy Golden, and Dutch Mantel. The Stud Stable feuded withThe Rock 'n' Roll Express and theHeavenly Bodies . They started out as pure heels, but became tweeners, feuding with both heels and babyfaces. The group disbanded when Robert Fuller went to WCW to become a manager in 1993.The last version was created in World Championship Wrestling when Robert Fuller was known as "Col. Rob Parker." He formed the stable in 1994 with Arn Anderson,
Terry Funk , Golden as Bunkhouse Buck, and Meng, who was Parker's bodyguard.This stable feuded heavily with Dusty and
Dustin Rhodes until late 1994 when Funk left and was replaced byDick Slater . The Blacktop Bully was also briefly a member. In early 1995, Meng left (eventually to join theDungeon of Doom ) and Anderson went to rejoinRic Flair . The Stud Stable feuded withHarlem Heat over theWCW World Tag Team Championship in which they won. They were also feuding because of a love/hate relationship between Parker and the Heat's manager, Sister Sherri. Parker eventually dumped Slater and Buck for Martel and the Stud Stable was finished.Members
