[edit] History

The Stud Stable was first formed by Ron Fuller in Southeast Championship Wrestling in the early 1980s. His version included Fuller's cousin Jimmy Golden, a young Arn Anderson and the masked Lord Humongous. They feuded with Jerry Stubbs and Bob Armstrong.

The next version was created by Ron's brother Robert Fuller in the late 1980s. He included Golden, Dutch Mantel, Cactus Jack, Brian Lee and Gary Young. They wrestled in the Southeast and in the CWA promotions and feuded with the Armstrong family.

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 with the Rock 'n' Roll Express and the Heavenly 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 by Dick Slater. The Blacktop Bully was also briefly a member. In early 1995, Meng left (eventually to join the Dungeon of Doom) and Anderson went to rejoin Ric Flair. The Stud Stable feuded with Harlem Heat over the WCW 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 & Buck for Martel and the Stud Stable was finished.
