VS 181 (February 1986) 3 Discs

Stoney Burke vs. Chris Colt (2/8/86)

Colt's tights are quite colorful here. Colt stalled a little bit and mainly worked Burke's left arm with the match in general dragging until there were 4 minutes left in the match. Both men decided to speed it up a little bit but Colt couldn't himself and stalled again before using his veteran tactics to subdue Burke. Colt would walk around the ring killing as much time as he could to get before coming back to the ring when the bell rang for the draw.

Stretcher Match: "The Crippler" Rip Oliver vs. Billy Jack Haynes (2/8/86)

Don Owen's speech before the match was fantastic talking about the match and having to get Billy to explain it to everyone. Billy telling the crowd to go wild before the match was fun and these guys came out firing shots fast and furious with Oliver juicing very quickly. Billy puts Oliver on the stretcher and the wrestler try to take him away but he gets off of it and comes back for more punishment. Oliver is getting destroyed here until he gets a desperation thumb in the eyes which gave him the opportunity to attack Billy including posting him then following with a piledriver. Billy comes firing back though and just tears Oliver apart even hitting a piledriver on the floor for good measure. Oliver gets loaded up on the stretcher and they haul him out of there or so we thought as Oliver got off of the stretcher before going to the dressing room which was the rules. Billy brings him back to the ring where he lifts him up for a backdrop suplex but Sandy Barry got knocked down in the process. Oliver thumbed Billy in the throat then knocked Billy out with brass knux. The wrestlers loaded Billy on the stretcher and carried him from the ring to the dressing room with Oliver declared the victor. Sandy Barr would take the brass knux away from Oliver after the match but the decision couldn't be changed because the match had no rules. This was really fun with Oliver bumping and bleeding hard but desperately finding a way to win. I'll pass this forward as a low-end nomination.

Oliver, Bobby Jaggers, & Moondog Moretti then cut a promo afterwards about the previous match and other things.

Little Mr. T vs. Tokyo Joe (2/8/86)

Your standard midgets match but the real highlight here was T giving Sandy Barr an airplane spin with Joe pinning Barr and T counting the pin then celebrating with him.

Next we get Billy Jack Haynes, Tom Zenk, & Brady Boone joined by Sandy Barr for a promo with Barr giving Billy the brass knux which weren't taped in a nice touch. Billy was pissed and demanded Don Owen do something.

Scott Doring & Tom Zenk vs. "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers & Mega Maharishi (Ed Wiskowski) (2/8/86)

Great seeing the Maharishi gimmick here and he had cut his hair shorter as he was about to go to AWA for the Col. DeBeers gimmick. Doring was a big jacked up guy who I'm shocked WWF didn't bring in. Decent action that saw Zenk get an inside cradle on Maharishi to take the 1st fall. Between falls we get promos from Jaggers & Moretti talk about The Clan. The 2nd fall starts with 2 minutes left in the show and the faces dominated until the bell rung.

Billy comes back out for a promo with the brass knux and said that he and Oliver would have a street fight next week with Don Owen coming out saying that it would not be televised because of the violence.

"Mean" Mike Miller vs. "Hercules" Jerry Sampson (2/15/86)

Miller coming out with a Japanese kimono on like he is fucking Mr. Saito is great. I love they were making a big deal of Sandy Barr getting an actual referee shirt. Sampson was a big jacked up guy as well but he was terrible at just doing normal spots. Miller carried him to a watchable match with Billy Jack Haynes on commentary.

Billy then cuts a promo on Oliver talking about their street fight that isn't televised.

Scott Doring vs. Karl Steiner (2/15/86)

This was a bland match with nothing really going on.

Next we get a promo with The Clan (Jaggers, Miller, & Oliver) talking about the upcoming street fight with Billy Jack Haynes and that Oliver is going to represent the Northwest in Japan soon. Miller was already over there and just come back talking about how the Clan is taking over. Meanwhile Jaggers talks about Cocoa Samoa coming in and how they will take care of him.

Bounty Match: "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers vs. Tom Zenk (2/15/86)

Jaggers put a bounty out on Zenk's head and is now trying to collect his own bounty which is interesting. The match started with a good pace until Zenk took control on the mat working holds. You could see where Zenk had potential as he was only in his 2nd year plus he had a good look and Jaggers made him look good bumping and selling for him. Zenk was really keying on Jaggers' left arm here with Bobby selling strongly. Jaggers though would catch Zenk with a shot then dropped a big elbow along with grabbing the trunks got the 1st fall. Jaggers then cuts a promo between falls about Zenk. The 2nd fall picked up with Zenk going back to work on Jaggers' left arm but Jaggers would take it to the floor where he threw Zenk into the steps then slammed him on the floor. Jaggers kept up the abuse on Zenk when he came back into the ring hitting his big elbow again but this time Zenk kicked out. Jaggers continued trying to put Zenk away but Zenk kept fighting back and eventually got a sunset flip to even the falls. Zenk & Brady Boone then cut a promo between the falls about the Japan trip. The 3rd fall started up with Jaggers working over Zenk trying to get a pinfall to keep his money but Zenk is pesky and keeps fighting back until the match ends in a draw. This was a fun little match and I'll pass it on as a low-end nomination.

Next we get a showdown between The Clan and Billy Jack Haynes, Brady Boone & Tom Zenk on the stage and this was pretty good.

Cocoa Samoa vs. Karl STeiner (2/22/86)

This is Cocoa's debut in the territory. Billy does commentary here and tells the background between Cocoa and Rip Oliver in Florida which was nice. Cocoa wins in impressive fashion.

Then we get a promo with Billy Jack Haynes and his wife and father who is in a wheelchair and this is extra material.

Scott Doring vs. Nick Kiniski (2/22/86)

Don Owen talks before the match how he loves babyface matches like this. These are two big thick guys working a boring match that goes to a time limit draw.

The Clan then cuts a promo about how there is no way in hell that Billy Jack Haynes will go to Japan as Rip Oliver's destiny is taking him to Japan.

Billy Jack Haynes vs. "The Crippler" Rip Oliver (2/22/86)

Each man brought out their buddies to watch their backs here as the winner will represent the Northwest in Japan. Oliver tried to start slow but Billy came out blazing throwing all kinds of bombs as the crowd went nuts. Billy would drop Oliver with a piledriver but only got a nearfall then kept up the pressure until Oliver caught him with a shot to the throat. Oliver then took it to the floor where he bashed Haynes over the head with a steel chair and now he is in full control roughhousing Haynes in the ring. Oliver then totally wiffed on a piledriver which looked HORRIBLE as Billy bumped right on his head after Oliver lost him falling backwards. Oliver works over Billy's neck fiercely and then actually hit the piledriver this time but he couldn't put Billy away. Billy is juicing now but as Oliver tried to suplex him back in the ring , he got him in the Full-Nelson and then Sandy Barr got bumped. Jaggers hit Haynes in the back with something and Oliver got his own Full-Nelson but Cocoa jumped off the top on Oliver with Barr making the count to give Billy the win. Other than the whiffed piledriver this was a very strong aggressive match and moves forward fairly easily as a nomination.

The Clan comes out next for an angry promo about what just happened and they want revenge.

Brady Boone vs. "Mean" Mike Miller (2/22/86)

Boone hitting his backflip off the top rope before the match was cool. I love that "Miller Time" is on the back of Mike's tights. The first fall ends with Miller getting DQed because he wouldn't break on the ropes as he was choking Boone. Then we get a promo with Billy Jack Haynes and his friends about the win earlier over Oliver and how important it is that he is going back to Japan. The 2nd fall starts up with Boone taking the fight to Miller before TV time would run out.

The Clan then cuts another promo vowing revenge before the show goes off the air.

Brady Boone vs. Timothy Flowers (1/25/86)

This is Flowers last match in this area for a long while. Haynes does commentary here during his cousin's match and Boone looks really good here as Flowers was a strong opponent for him to have a showcase with.

Haynes then announces that he hurt his hand the previous Wednesday in Seattle trying to block a chair shot and that he wouldn't wrestle on the show that night and that Steve Pardee will take his place. Haynes also talks about the stretcher match the next week.

Billy Two Eagles vs. Chris Colt (1/25/86)

Colt looks as sleazy as ever here man wow and he is really good at taking some wild bumps here for Eagles. This is the Colt show here as he is so entertaining here at everything he does whether on offense, defense, selling, stooging, bumping, whatever. Colt even gets DQed as he raked Sandy Barr's face trying to escape an abdominal stretch then gets shoved out of the ring by Barr afterwards. The match was just okay but Colt was awesome here.

Jaggers & Oliver are out next with Moretti talking about their newly won Northwest Tag Titles and how there would be more gold coming to The Clan.

"Hangman" Bobby Jaggers vs. Nick Kiniski (1/25/86)

I love that Don Owen announced that Zenk beat Jaggers during the week for the Northwest Heavyweight Title before the match. Jaggers & Kiniski telegraph they are working the draw early as they just hemm and haww around but the fans love giving Jaggers shit so it works. Okay match I guess.

Steve Pardee vs. Terry Bradshaw (11/16/85)

This definitely isn't the former Steelers QB but he has the quintessential babyface look for this time period. Total babyface match and it was fine for what it was.

Chris Colt vs. Ole Olson (11/16/85)

God damn I love Chris Colt and his tights are a total mismatch which makes sense because Colt looks like he just came off a 2 day heroin binge. Colt again is entrancing in this match and he makes it more entertaining than what it should be....his leading at the old woman in the front row was amazing. Olson is bland and just works holds while Colt is on fire. The match goes to a time limit draw but damn. My god we need Colt matches as extras on the set....especially this one.

Next we get a promo from Miller, Moretti, & Karl Steiner talking about beating the babyfaces in the area.

The disc runs out during a Miller/Moretti/Steiner vs. Olson/Pardee/Zenk match.
