Robert Fuller

Robert Fuller (born Robert Welch on May 14, 1951 in Dyersburg, Tennessee) was a professional wrestler.

Career

Robert Fuller is the son of wrestler Buddy Fuller and the grandson of wrestler Roy Welch. He has a brother who wrestled, Ron Fuller, and a cousin that wrestled with him, Jimmy Golden. He was married to Sylvia Fuller, who sometimes managed.

Fuller started wrestling in 1970 in the Alabama and Tennessee regions. He often teamed with his cousin Jimmy Golden and they won many tag team titles.

In the 1980's, he took his brother Ron's idea and made a stable called The Stud Stable. Among the members in the independent versions of this stable were Golden, Cactus Jack, Dutch Mantel, Gary Young and Brian Lee.

He spent some time in the American Wrestling Association with Golden in 1988 and they feuded with the Rock 'N Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson).

He also wrestled in the Texas area where he would team with Jeff Jarrett.

In 1993, Fuller went to World Championship Wrestling as manager Col. Robert Parker, a takeoff of Col. Tom Parker of Elvis Presley fame.

He managed Sid Vicious and teamed with manager Harley Race and his protege, Vader, to feud with Sting and Davey Boy Smith.

In 1994, he managed "Stunning" Steve Austin before reforming his "Stud Stable" with Golden as "Bunkhouse Buck", Meng, Dick Slater, Terry Funk and Arn Anderson. They feuded heavily with Dusty and Dustin Rhodes.

In 1995, Col. Parker got the hots for Sherri Martel. He courted her and neither of their tag teams liked it (Sherri managed Harlem Heat). They went to get married and Sherri was attacked by Madusa, who was supposed to be Parker's girlfriend. They split and feuded and then made up again and Parker left the Stud Stable to help her manage Harlem Heat. In 1997, they fired him and he took on a team to feud with them, "The Amazing French Canadians" (Jacques Rougeau, Jr. & Pierre Oullette).

He left WCW in 1998 and resurfaced in the WWF as Tennessee Lee, manager to Jeff Jarrett. He did not stay for long and went back to wrestling with Golden on the independent circuit in Alabama.

As of 2005, Fuller can still be found wrestling occasionally for NWA-Birmingham.
