Lazer-Tron, "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant, & Kendall Windham vs. The Gladiators & Sean Royal (7/18/87)

This is from Memorial Stadium in Charlotte which I loved outdoor wrestling shows. The match is JIP and fine for what it was.

Vladimir Petrov vs. Todd Champion (7/18/87)

Petrov puts Champion away easily with the Russian Sickle.

Then we get a promo with Nikita in the locker room with Caudle talking about his neck and getting his US Title back. We also get clips of the title change.

Next we get a promo from Dusty where he talks about Luger saying that he wants Dusty next and this is the beginning of that feud. Dusty talks about never being the US Champ and now it's time for him to win that. Extra material.

Western States Heavyweight Title: Barry Windham © vs. Big Bubba Rogers (7/18/87)

Rogers & Akbar riding the bullpen car to the ring was classic. They go to a break before the match started but what we get is really fun as Bubba bumps like a motherfucker and Windham almost hits a tope to Bubba on the floor as he hits Bubba with his elbow. Windham would then hit a cross body block off the top rope for a quick win. Way too damn short and I wish we had a longer match. Windham cut a promo afterwards challenging all comers and said that he wants Luger's US Title now.

US Tag Titles: The Midnight Express ("Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & "Sweet" Stan Lane) © vs. Michael "PS" Hayes & Buddy Roberts (7/18/87)

MX & Cornette ride on the bullpen car as well with Cornette holding his tennis racquet high in the air which was great. Cornette then says that every woman in the stadium wants to molest the MX. Cornette goes on commentary during the match saying that he is going to fry the Birds like KFC. This is such a fresh matchup that we needed more of during this whole JCP takes over the world thing. We go to a break very early in the match as Eaton is pinballing around for the Birds and come back with Lane getting back in the ring from the grass. MX got frustrated and did their fake breakup deal with the fans going nuts as the Birds were embarrassing them. The Birds looked really strong here as both Hayes & Roberts were getting offense on the MX who were being total chickenshits here. Cornette held Buddy as Lane grabbed the racquet and smashed Buddy to win the match in their only real offense hilarious.....Terry Gordy then runs out and tells Tommy Young what happened and he reversed the decision calling for the DQ. Very fun match but MX not even getting offense was something else.

Nothing that stands out as a nom.
