thanks for posting these
 
I'd heard of Billy Hines working as Billy Boy and Bulldog but never as Gentleman Billy Hines. In fact Brower turned face here and we had him feuding vs. Bulldog Billy Hines.
 
wasn't Rip Tyler kind of big to be a Jr. Heavyweight.
 
Stonewall Jackson = Steve Musulin/Steve Muslin/Steve Travis

The times I saw Billy Hines on the IWA tv show, he only worked as a manager. At the time he was past his prime as a wrestler.If he did wrestle on any of their shows,I missed it.
 
As for Rip Tyler, he was pretty slim when he worked for the IWA. Buzz was much heavier. I only got to see them a few times in the IWA. The Tyler's were only with the IWA about six months, if I remember right.

this wasn't the Rip Tyler from gulf coast..the IWA Rip was Lee Teal...I remember hearing the Tyler Brothers and expecting Rip and Randy....when I saw a few gulf coast clippings I realized  he wasn't the same guy

okay, you learn something every day. The guy over at 57talk.com has it that Rip Tyler is a legend in the Carolina's. Obviously he wasn't a legend here but I was under the impression that it was GC's Rip Tyler that teamed with Buzz Tyler here. Thanks for setting the record straight.
