Posted March 14, 201114 yr comment_5467293 The Invaders (I y III), & Mil Mascaras vs. Dory & Terry Funk, & "Rambo" Ron Starr (December 1986) This is very interesting matchup. Dory takes punishment to start the match as the tecnicos work over his left arm and it was fun watching Starr & Terry try to out stooge each other in the corner. Terry comes in and is awesome selling his slugfest with Invader I before bringing in Starr who gets his ass kicked as well selling it almost as great as Terry did. Starr would catch Invader with a desperation clothesline before tagging in Terry which led to the rudo control section that didn't last real long before Mil would get the hot tag. Mil runs wild on Dory before it turns into a 6-way brawl with the fans going apeshit. The referee calls for the bell DQing both teams and this was a total blast although it was a little short. I'm throwing this one on the block.
February 8, 201312 yr comment_5534102 This is a completely absurd match that somehow works. The babyfaces take about 80% of this. The opening arm work on Dory Funk is actually pretty good and Dory takes some nice bumps but he has the shittiest facials I've ever seen in wrestling. He looks absolutely bored by everything that is going on. Still you've got Terry complaining from the apron as the faces work heel tactics. Then Terry comes in and demands a boxing match. He alternates between stalling, positioning the ref in the corner and dancing around in his boxing stance, then gets punched a few times and takes this twisted delayed bump to the mat. He is in 100 percent cartoon mode and I love it. The heel team consists of two former NWA World Champs and the first guy to get any offense is former Richard Simmons look-a-like, now "Rambo" devotee Ron Starr. Unbelievable. Then Dory actually sets up Terry's offensive contribution, which consists entirely of choking with his wrist tape. The faces make their big comeback after maybe two minutes of heel offense and chase the heels around, including Funk getting strangled with his own tape as the match gets thrown out. I have no clue how this worked but it did.

June 28, 201312 yr comment_5549116 Taped December 17, 1986. They would typically do the TV tapings on Wednesdays and, since Mascaras was there for the Dec. 21 show, it was likely the 17th since that was the last Wednesday they would work before the holiday break.
