Yes he did, he was in right up to the end IRC. I'm not sure what date he began working for the Poffo's though.

No ; he worked from like April 1982- June 1982. Wasn't much in the "'history" of the ICW promotion.
I'd say his pay wasn't worth the amount of asses he was putting in the seats and Angelo got him to move on.
Just my expert opinion on the ICW run of T-Bolt.
I do have a nice ICW promo of the posed T- Bolt while in ICW for sale now........

Was T Bolt a face or a heel? Anything of note about his run there?

I knew he worked with the Poffo's and I could have sworn he was there at the end. I know that after he left Poffo he basically took indy bookings until he went to work with Ole in Georgia in 84'. As for T-Bolts length of time in ICW, he could have been in for one week, but with the creative use of video tape it could be made to appear as though he was there for several months.

As a said earlier he was only there for a three month period in 1982. I checked my site with ads and he was there from about May 4 1982 thru early August 1982.He only was a face on the show and teamed a lot with Ronnie Garvin vs the Blondes Convertible.
I hardly watched the show a lot that summer as Randy was threatening retiring with the belt and didn't have a bunch of time on tv.
But the ICW are here for the checking if anyone wants to look at 1982 or any other year.

Didn't Bolt come in with Jim Wilson as part of a 'talent exchange' with the promotion Bolt/Wilson were trying to run down in ATL? I read that Bolt split because he didn't want to put Bob Orton Jr. over on TV.

I think that was mentioned in Wilson's book.

Yes ; he was scheduled for a bout in mid 1981 against Bob Orton Jr at Henry Clay High School ( which was ICW's main big gig at the time) for Bobby's TV title. I'm pretty sure he no-showed - I went to the event but am not 100% sure but believe so. Was not aware of the back story but it sounds plausible.
He did get shot at Savage's world title in the 1982 run. Was also maybe touted at US Heavy weight holder at that time also. Sure of that as they did an Inside ICW with Randy talking and telling about T-Bolt scoring the US title victory.
