(BUSTER) CWF 1984-85 #2

Dory Funk Jr. vs. Mike Graham (8/29/84)

 

This match is split over two discs as it starts out more of a technical style before going to the next disc where Dory is using more shortcuts and roughhousing tactics. Graham is fiery though and fights back hard taking it Dory in and out of the ring where Bill Alfonso follows trying to get them to come back in the ring not counting them out. They do come back in but Dory throws a chair which is immediately thrown back out before they would go back to working with Dory locking on a Kevin Von Erich style bodyscissors. Graham fights back again but the bell rings due to them going to a 10:00 draw although that doesn't stop them though as they fight some more and Alfonso decides to restart the match. Graham is still taking it to Dory but it basically turns into a back and forth slugfest until Dory throws Graham into Bill Alfonso sending him to the floor. Dory goes for the spinning toehold until Graham counters with the figure-four which brings in Jesse Barr who turns heel here attacking Graham. Barr & Dory then double up on Mike before leaving and this is the beginning of Barr being Dory's protege. Solie is great here selling this atrocity so Barr grabs Solie by the jacket then decks Buddy Colt who tries to step in. The match was pretty good but the angle after it was great. This is a nomination,.

 

Blackjack Mulligan is out next with Kendall Windham who is making his debut here as they are trying to convince The Lock (Wenona Little Heart aka Mulligan's real life daughter) who is in the story here a family friend to come back to their side.

 

Superstar Billy Graham & Kevin Sullivan vs. Chief Joe Lightfoot & One Man Gang (8/29/84)

 

During the match, Lock goes over to the Windham family and he lifts the veil over her head which angers him severely so he runs in the ring and chases Sullivan before they leave the area. The match continues with Gang getting in a lot of offense on the heels but Lightfoot isn't so lucky and gets put away easily. Extra material.

 

Superstar Billy Graham & Kevin Sullivan vs. Mike Allen & Tony D'Amato (9/19/84)

 

Kendall is by himself here saying that his dad was in the hospital after being jumped by Sullivan and his boys or in other words he was on his way to the WWF. The Lock goes over to Kendall where he shows her a doll from their past and they hug so Sullivan goes over to Lock and he slaps her up then tries it again but Superstar stops him. Humperdink would deck him with a steel chair and then they would hang Graham from the top rope bashing him more with the chair causing him to juice heavily before Mike Graham would run them off. Definite extra.

 

Barr & Dory come out next with a bag of feathers calling Mike Graham a chicken before Scott McGhee comes out with Barr challenging him to a match.

 

Jesse Barr vs. Scott McGhee (9/19/84)

 

After some good back and forth action, Dory would trip up McGhee allowing Barr to put on a modified cobra hold to put out the Florida champion. The heels would then tar and feather McGhee afterwards.

 

Then we ge clips of Whatley/Sullivan from 9/25/84 with Superstar Graham making his return running off Sullivan.

 

Jesse Barr & Dory Funk Jr. vs. Mike Graham & Harley Race (9/25/84)

 

Graham & Race teaming up is interesting. We get the intros then it's clipped multiple times which hurts the flow of the match. Fun for what it was though especially Race working babyface. Barr, Dory, & Jim Neidhart would then try to tar and feather Mike until Superstar & McGhee would run them off.

 

Next we get clips of Barr winning the Florida title from McGhee in Orlando on 10/14/84 and a promo afterwards.

 

Then we get clips of Lewin & Sullivan destroying Supesrtar in a cage match from Lakeland on 10/13/84.

Florida Heavyweight Title: Jesse Barr © vs. Superstar Billy Graham (10/23/84)

 

Barr uses his wrestling ability here to escape from the full-nelson which Graham goes for early and often. Barr would eventually hit a shoulderbreaker on SBG and with the ropes he got the pinfall. SBG would bring in a chair that Barr would then use on him before going back to an armbar.

 

Then we get clips of a Krusher Khruschev/Jim Neidhart squash where Brian Blair would get involved and there was dissention teased among the heels. (November 1984)

 

Barr is out next with a checklist of everyone he has eliminated before Brian Blair would come out challenging him to a match which Barr said won't happen because he's beaten him already. (12/4/84)

 

Michael Hayes shows up on the set bringing Solie a special Christmas gift which is a briefcase before Krusher Khruschev & The Saint comes out and they destroy the briefcase leading to Hayes brawling with them. Hayes is extremely pissed afterwards with Dutch coming out and Hayes wanting to buy his contract. Definite extra. (12/4/84)

 

Brian Blair vs. Killer Khan (12/11/84)

 

This is supposed to be Blair against Barr but Barr comes out with his arm in a sling saying that he can't wrestle so he has brought in Khan to take care of him. Khan dominates Blair early on but after a strong flurry and a cross body block off the top rope he gets the win. Barr then runs in with his sling gone taking it to Blair but Blair gets the best of him and celebrates with the chicken.

 

Dutch is out next talking about his upcoming matches with Saint & Ric Flair before the Pretty Young Things come out where they read a letter from their bossman (Percy Pringle) then attack Dutch with their radio. Michael Hayes would run out to make the save and read the letter which says that Flair has a bounty out on Dutch. Extra material. (12/26/84)

 

Then we get clips of a Barr squash when the chicken runs out and delivers a flying forearm revealing himself as Brian Blair. Barr is extremely angry afterwards saying that Blair will now get a title match. (12/26/84)

 

Michael Hayes vs. Jose Medina (1/2/85)

 

Hayes works this in his street clothes as Buddy Roberts wasn't there with his ring gear. Squash before Krusher, Neidhart, & Saint attacked Hayes after the match and they try to cut Hayes' hair until the Youngbloods make the save. Hayes then cuts an angry promo afterwards when Dutch & Buddy come out late not knowing what went down so they went into the locker room then threw them out for a wild brawl. Extra material.

 

Then we get clips of a 2 ring battle royal won by Blair & Barr in Miami on 12/26/84. Barr would attack Blair afterwards and stole the $15,000 check.

 

Next we get the revelation of the Bossman as the PYT's introduce Percy Pringle who also talks about bringing Rick Rude in. This is great stuff and a definite extra. (1/2/85)
