Dutch Mantel
Initially, Hellwig and Borden wrestled as The Freedom Fighters (Justice and Flash, respectively) in Jerry Jarrett's Continental Wrestling Association initially as fan favorites then later as villains, first led by "coach" Buddy Wayne, then later under manager Dutch Mantel. Because they were essentially bodybuilders and lacked thorough training, the team was raw and brutal, easily hurting opponents with their stiff maneuvers which led to their stay in Memphis being a short one.
