Loss Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Sweet Brown Sugar is finishing off a match when Iceman grabs the house mic and says he's going to beat up on Uncle Tom, and teach him what being black is all about. Jarrett comes out and jumps Iceman and we've got ourselves another pull-apart brawl. Sweet Brown Sugar emcees the crowd into wanting to see another fight, which is dumb if they're not going to let them, but this remains a fantastic segment.

PeteF3 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Parsons is out to do what he does best--beat up on Uncle Toms. As he gets into the ring to show Skip Young what bein' black is all about, Jeff Jarrett tackles him from behind and we get a big pull-apart. Skip Young will be guest-reffing their match on Friday and exhorts the locker room to "LET 'EM FIGHT," but nothing comes of it, though Parsons does deliver a jumping headbutt to John Brazelle that's barely sold in a funny moment. I still don't know why these two hate each other so much beyond "That's the program" but these are good segments nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Great hate from this and Iceman saying he was going to show Brown what being black was all about made me gasp. Jarrett is showing a lot of fire and came lunging in to attack Iceman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm marking out big for this program. Parson's has an edge of realism in this program. Jarrett shows a lot of fire and is willing to throw hands. Good stuff. I loved the Uncle Tom stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Ridge Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Iceman Parsons drops the Uncle Tom reference on Sweet Sugar Brown. We get another big pull apart with Jarrett and Parsons. Brown wants to see them fight. I keep confusing Gary Young with Scott Hall during these pull a parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Oh, boy. Was Jerry Jarrett trying to get kicked off of Dallas TV? First violence against women, now race-baiting? And instead of Lawler and Snowman fighting for a title, we get Jeff Jarrett and Iceman King Parsons fighting for.......what, exactly? And Skip Young as the referee? If you want to rerun Lawler/Snowman with a Texas twist, what's the matter with using the King himself against Iceman and making it for the title? I'm enjoying Lawler-Dundee/DWB-Gilbert as much as anyone, but there's nothing about that feud that couldin't keep if you wanted to run an actual program for the title instead of just a tag feud that could be done at any time. (If I understand this correctly, the way the TV worked, the same talent couldn't appear in both Memphis and Dallas live in the same weekend, so if Lawler had worked a program with Iceman in Dallas, they couldn't have done the DWBs/Gilbert feud in Memphis at the same time.) As for what we saw, I guess Jeff's not a bad substitute if you know that his dad owns the promotion, which I'm not sure they did in Dallas. But there were two things that stood out as ridiculous and almost sank the segment: 1) Young telling the officials to let Jeff and Iceman fight when it was clear that they were being held apart for good and 2) John Braselle no-selling Iceman's headbutt. The first is at least forgivable in the heat of the moment, but the second is an unconscionable error at best and a fireable offense at worst. When you're a matchmaker with no wrestling experience and a wrestler hits you, you go down like you've been shot and get stretchered to the back no questions asked, even if it's accidental contact, which this wasn't. Fortunately, Craig never acknowledged it on TV, because if he had, Iceman might just as well have packed his bags. If his best headbutt can't even knock down the freakin' matchmaker, what chance does he have against Jeff? On the lighter side, I loved Percy calmly eating Oreos, of all things, as if nothing was going on. I'm not sure if that was deliberate of just a hell of a coincidence, but either way, it worked splendidly. This one looks like it could be either a classic or a trainwreck. We'll find out which in the month and change to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew wardlaw Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Whoa, Iceman dropping an Uncle Tom line is brutal. I'm looking forward to where this is going, Iceman is gnarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSR Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 We join the action just as Sweet Brown Sugar is covering his opponent to get the win. Iceman Parsons has been watching the match from ringside and gets on this mic and says that as he’s come down this far he might as well do what he does best, and that’s beat up on Uncle Tom’s and teach Sweet Brown Sugar what being black is all about! Parsons gets in the ring and squares up to Sugar, when out from nowhere comes Jeff Jarrett who goes flying at the Iceman. The dressing room empties to try and separate them, followed by matchmaker John Brozell. Sugar says how the people want to see these two fight, so let them fight! Brozell is not letting that happen though. Jarrett and Parsons break free on a couple of occasions, but aren’t able to do much before the wrestlers hold them back again. Jarrett is taken out of the ring first and it looks like Parsons hits and then head butts Brozell, but he doesn’t sell either shot! Eventually they are both ushered away, despite the crowds chants of ‘Let them Go!’ Jarrett’s run in was tremendous, the way he came flying in there at Parsons. This feud hasn’t grabbed me anywhere near as much as Jerry Lawler and The Snowman, but this was a good segment nonetheless. Not sure what went down when it looked like the Iceman struck John Brozell? You know full well that Eddie Marlin would have been bumping for him left, right and center if he was in Brozell’s shoes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Jarrett and Iceman are carrying this off as well as can be expected. It's just the booking is kinda screwy, throwing Iceman into a role the crowd is probably not ready for him to be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Benaka Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Skip Young sounded great on the mic, exhorting "Let Them Fight!" The crowd picked up on it nicely. I was really sad to see John Brassiere no-sell an Iceman headbutt. He should have been out cold! The chaotic pull-apart ends with Percy Pringle gingerly opening a box of Oreos in the background and offering the box to the announcer. Is this some sort of subtle racial commentary after Iceman's Uncle Tom comments? These Texas USWA segments continue to deliver on the 1990 set.
