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 him. 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 1980s, 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, Sid Vicious, 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 the Stud Stable nor Sherri's charges, Harlem Heat, liked it. Parker and Sherri went to get married and Sherri was attacked by Madusa, who was supposed to be Parker's girlfriend. Parker and Sherri split and feuded and then made up again, with Parker leaving the Stud Stable to help Sherri manage Harlem Heat. While with Harlem Heat, Parker's official title was "promoter," while Sherri retained the "manager" designation. In 1996, Harlem Heat fired Parker, and he quickly started to manage "The Amazing French Canadians" (Jacques Rougeau, Jr. & Pierre Oullette). Harlem Heat and The Amazing French-Canadians immediately began feuding. He left WCW in 1998 and resurfaced in the WWF as Tennessee Lee, manager of 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. On June 2, 2006 in Irondale, Alabama, Shannon Spruill faced El Mexico for the NWA Wrestle Birmingham Junior Heavyweight Championship. With the help of her manager, Robert Fuller (who referred to Spruill as his "Million Dollar Baby"), Spruil defeated El Mexico to win her third wrestling title. On September 14, 2006, Fuller was seen, once again as Col. Parker, being interviewed by Bobby Roode on TNA iMPACT! |
