Buddy Landell |

| Buddy Landell was
fired by Dusty Rhodes. Landell was coming off drawing a record house that
week in Raleigh against Ric Flair and held the National heavyweight title
and was in line for the biggest push of his career. However, after a cocaine
binge, he literally couldn't get out of bed the morning of an Atlanta TV
taping where he was about to shoot the biggest angle of his career for the
major program with Flair. When Rhodes couldn't get him out of bed, he came
on TV at the old TBS studios holding the belt claiming to have beaten
Landell in a fictitious match and Landell never reached that level of
stardom again. |
