In his near-forty years as an active wrestler "Bullet" Bob Armstrong has seen it all, and in this exclusive Highspots shoot interview the patriarch of the legendary Armstrong family looks back and takes us along for the ride.
Be they from his heyday in the Georgia, Continental and Memphis territories, overseas excursions to Japan and Korea, or latter-day runs in Smoky Mountain Wrestling and NWA-TNA, Armstrong has no shortage of stories to tell; from epic world title matches with the likes of Ric Flair, Harley Race and the Funks to encounters with future legends Hulk Hogan and Arn Anderson in their rookie years.
Bob shares family memories of raising and training sons Brad, Brian, Steve and Scott, in addition to harrowing accounts of his injuries over the years, including the in-ring accident which resulted in the loss of a finger and the weight room accident which literally crushed his face and led to the creation of his masked alter-ego, "The Bullet."
Other topics include Bob's stint as a WCW road agent and first-hand account of the infamous Vader/Paul Orndorff backstage fist-fight, as well as his own shoot encounters with both opponents and overzealous fans!
EXTRA #1: Rare footage from Southeastern Championship Wrestling of Bob refereeing a Ric Flair vs. Ron Fuller NWA World Title match, and Bob's subsequent shocking heel turn.
EXTRA #2: Bob and Brad Armstrong vs. Thunderfoot #1 and #2 from the Anderson Brothers Classic Tag Team Tournament in Shelby, NC, on December 11, 2004.
