With Mike Boyette,the first time I saw him my parents kept talking about watching him versus the Fields brothers at the Gulfport Armory. They use to go almost every week with my paternal grandparents. I think that was the old Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling fed. When I was around 4 or 5 months old,my grandparents were babysitting me. It was Saturday night so they took me to the armory because they were not going to miss the weekly wrestling shows. I am really surprised no indy is running the Alabama/Mississippi gulf coast region. Last year for 5 months EPW was running Kiln and Bay St Louis. And drawing good crowds. But the owner is an idiot and fucked over the two places they ran on money. So now most venues don't want to bother with wrestling.
I'm glad you liked the Paul Boesch documentary.

yep he was a big star for the Gulf Coast territory.

Gulf Coast Wrestling was huge back then with the local fans. Such stars as The Fields brothers, Cowboy Bob Kelly, Ken Lucas, Rip Tyler & others.

Mike never really broke out as a star anywhere else other than there that I can recall.

I did like him as Apocalypse in Memphis. He was managed by a young Jim Cornette in his rookie year.

Classic Gulf Coast Wrestling
Rip Tyler vs Cowboy Bob Kelly
-Plus Don Fargo is mad!
