Feeling Your Oates




When his career first began, Marty Jannetty was actually billed as "Marty Oates", a handsome younger brother of veteran wrestler, Jerry Oates.

Here is Jerry in a black speedo, preparing to wrestle this Tag Team match with his brother Marty.  The shirtless hunks seem to be arguing with the ref.
Their big ugly opponents -- Dick Murdock and Luke Williams -- are looking forward to getting it on with the handsome Oates Brothers.

Jerry continues to have a passionate debate with the ref, while brother Marty watches.  The fans are eager to see some hot wrestling action, so ring the bell!

Jerry gives his kid brother some last words of advice, warning him to watch out for the two brutal killers across the ring.


Older brother Jerry decides to square off against big Dick Murdock.  These two have hated each other for years, and are hoping to settle their grudge tonite.  (Yeah right, this heated battle will continue for a long, long time.)

Although Dick Murdock is fat, he is certainly not jolly.  He has a reputation for being ruthless and sadistic in the ring, actually enjoying the pain he inflicts on other men.
The ref finally calls for the bell, and Jerry Oates eagerly charges his opponent.

Jerry Oates is still active as a promoter in Georgia.  He resurrected Georgia Championship Wrestling, but had to change it to "Great" Championship Wrestling for legal reasons.  His GCW website contains hundreds of great photos, check it out.


Murdock pins Jerry's arms back, allowing his partner free access to Jerry's exposed gut.  It sure didn't take long for these goons to pull out the dirty Double-Team tactics!

A solid fist to the belly leaves Jerry Oates bent over in pain, while his younger brother helplessly watches the brutality from the far corner.
The ref does nothing while the two brutes take turns pounding on poor Jerry's back.  Marty enters the ring in anger, but this will only distract the ref, allowing the cheaters to employ more illegal tactics.

The bad guys -- Murdock and Williams -- have cut the ring in half, keeping their victim trapped in their corner.  They continue to bend the rules, working together to punch, kick, and punish the poor stud.


Jerry is trapped on the ropes, held in place by Luke Williams, who is holding onto the waistband of his trunks.  Meanwhile, big Dick Murdock comes running full steam, like a runaway truck filled to the top with whale blubber.

Murdock drives his knee into poor Jerry's belly.  If they are able to destroy the older brother this easily, imagine what these brutes will do to cute young Marty Oates!!

Murdock peels his victim off the ropes by the hair.  Luke Williams, meanwhile, seems to be licking or biting the poor dude's lower back.
Finally Jerry Oates is able to take control, whipping the big man to the mat and squatting on his head while twisting his arm around in a nice Arm Bar.

Jerry flexes his bicep, dragging the fat man around the ring like a bulldog on a leash.  I think he's finally going to tag in young Marty Oates, and the fans can't wait.

Several of the fans are laughing at Dick Murdock as he cries about his shoulder pain and complains to the ref about hair pulling.  These fans are only going to send this big beast into a frenzy if they keep laughing.

The ref listens to Dick Murdock's complaints, even though Murdock has never fought fair in a single match in his career.  Jerry Oates is forced to release the hold.  The fans go wild when he tags in his younger brother.


Now Marty Jannetty -- I mean Marty Oates -- jumps in the ring and applies an Arm Bar.  He bounces around the ring, showing off his tight ass in those tight red trunks.

The two wrestlers continue to dance around the ring, giving all the fans a nice long look at their contrasting bodies:  Murdock looking beefy and brutal, Oates looking athletic, muscular and healthy.

The big, ugly veteran must feel humiliated to be so easily controlled by this cute rookie.  Surely he is going to fight back soon and punish this cocky kid!
Now Marty mounts his opponent in a dominant position that looks very much like the famous Greek statue of the two naked grapplers locked in combat.


Finally Murdock takes control, bending the cocky rookie over the ropes and choking him.  The fans swear the temperature in the arena rose about 10 degrees at this point.

Murdock looks like he's slaughtering a lamb as he bends the kid over the ropes and prepares to drive his elbow into his neck.

WOW!  A blow to the throat like that could kill most men.  Clearly Marty Oates is very powerful and strong if he's able to survive such a deadly attack.


This poor kid is stunned now!  He hangs on the ropes like this morning's laundry, exposed and helpless to Murdock's brutal assault.

Like most guys in the early 80's, the rookie has some nice flowing hair, parted in the middle and feathered back. Dick Murdock can't seem to resist dragging this kid around the ring by the hair!

Now where did that stupid ref go??  Luke Williams, who isn't even the legal man, reaches into the ring and twists his arm around the top rope.
Now both men are in there!  Luke holds the kid's face against his chest while Murdock pulls a piece of rope out of the front of his trunks.


DAMN!!!   Murdock wraps the rope around Marty's neck and begins strangling him.  I can't believe the ref doesn't see this, or is he too afraid to stop Dick Murdock from doing whatever he wants?!

Marty gasps for air as the big cheater tightens the rope around his neck.  Does Murdock really need to break the rules to beat this rookie, or does he just get off on choking guys??

He's trying to tie the choke-rope around the ring rope, basically hanging the opponent, or at least keeping him tied up so the cheaters can whip his brother 2-on-1.

Murdock is breaking at least a half-dozen Pro Wrestling rules, and probably a few laws as well, as he continues to choke the life out of the handsome rookie.  This is totally out of control, where is the ref??!??!


Again Luke Williams interferes in the match, even though he is NOT the legal man in the ring.  He holds Marty's hair like a punching bag and prepares to bitch-slap him.

The ref is basically allowing these animals to do whatever they want to the helpless kid!  If anything happens to Marty, the ref should be arrested as an accomplice.
Now it's Murdock's turn to yank the kid's head around with a handful of hair and slap his cute face.  This is totally humiliating for the young stud, to be bullied and degraded like this!

Murdock rubs his knuckles on poor Marty's cheek and nose, trying to ugly the kid up a bit, so he will end up being as ugly as Dick Murdock some day.

Marty falls to the mat, exhausted and dazed from the endless assault by these big ugly heels.  Some of the fans seem to enjoy seeing this cute kid rolling around on the mat in agony.

Once again, Murdock grips Marty's hair and yanks him into submission, this time bending him back for a very devastating Elbow Smash.


Murdock is still not satisfied.  He again yanks the smaller man's head back and drives the point of his elbow into Marty's handsome face.  This violence is incredible, the fans are really getting off on this beat-down.



Next Murdock slaps on the old Ab Stetch, twisting the rookie's body into unnatural shapes. Jerry is forced to watch his kid brother suffer just a few feet away.

Marty begs his brother to come rescue him, but Jerry won't violate the rules by getting in the ring, even though the other team has cheated through the whole match.

Murdock drags Marty's carcass over to the far corner and tags in Luke Williams.  The crazy Australian is more than eager to take his turn working on Marty Oates.

Williams takes revenge on Marty for applying his grinding Arm Bars earlier against Dick Murdock.  He twists Marty's wrist until the poor kid is forced to bend over.
Marty' humiliation has reached a new low, as he is forced to beg for mercy from the big ugly opponent.  Jerry Oates is getting very frustrated at having to watch his brother being whipped like a dog.

The heel scoops up his young opponent and Backbreaks him across one knee.  He holds Marty across his knee like he's breaking up some branches for firewood.

Oh no, it does NOT look too good for Marty Oates.  He is as helpless as a fly caught in a spider's web as he is held across Luke's knee, while Dick begins climbing the ropes.

Don't tell me Dick Murdock is going to drop his massive body weight across this kid's neck and chest!!  He could kill the poor dude!

Sure enough, Murdock comes sailing off the ropes like an elephant that was doing a high-wire act but lost it's balance.  He aims his knee directly at the helpless man's neck.  Marty feels like a mouse when he sees a big 310 pound hawk soaring down on him.


The ref allows one of the biggest men in wrestling to drop all his body weight down on the rookie's throat.  I'm surprised this kid's head isn't rolling around the ring like a soccer ball at this point!

The rookie is sprawled out on the mat like he was just run over by a bus.  And not just a little van either, we're talking a full-fledged city bus with the graffiti and the billboards on the side.

And even after nearly breaking the kid in two pieces, the brutes still want to hurt him some more.  Luke Williams rushes over to further punish the dazed victim.

Big brother Jerry has finally seen enough!  He storms in the ring with a metal chair, chasing the two cheating brutes away from his stunned brother.

Even though this dumb ref allowed the other team to cheat during the whole match, he now takes offense to Jerry swinging the chair around like a weapon. He disqualifies the Oates Brothers and calls for the bell, but at least young Marty will live to fight another day.
