UWF55 1-6-87

 

Sting & Eddie Gilbert vs. The Fantastics (complete)

 

This was fun, but borderline, then we don't get a finish as Terry Gordy runs in and jumps the Fantastics. He does absolutely kill Rogers with a piledriver. Really feels like someone should make a GIF of it and use it as an avatar

 

 

UWF56 1-9-87

 

This was the show where every match advertised never got started, one of those weird Watts total show motifs, except this one wasn't foriegn objects or foriegn heels but false advertising.

ceman King Parsons & The Missing Link vs. Ken Massey & Jack Victory (1/4/87)

 

Poor Victory is now stuck teaming with jobbers and puts up a fight but his team has no chance here.

 

One Man Gang vs. Bobby Perez (1/4/87)

 

Perez has some shitty luck as he gets stuck with all the big dudes it seemed.

 

Jim Ross conducts an interview with Terry Gordy where he just discusses the current events of the UWF.

 

UWF Tag Titles: Hacksaw Duggan & Terry Taylor © vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts) (1/4/87)

 

Hayes mentions on commentary that this is the first time the Birds are going for the UWF Tag Titles, which is wrong but who cares. Eli the Eliminator & Wild Bill Irwin jump the champs on their way to the ring and OMG follows with a table which they run the champs’ head into. Duggan tries to fight back but Devastation Inc. continues to pound on them. Jeff Raitz & Gary Young tries to help but they get thrown aside as the beatdown continues with Duggan juicing. DiBiase & Savannah Jack then run off the heels. Michael Hayes comes to the ring and demands that the Birds receive the titles since they champs can’t wrestle and Gordy got his title stripped from him because he couldn’t wrestle. Ken Mantell finally shows up and basically tells the Birds to go fuck themselves. Hayes is demanding the champs come out but they get DiBiase & Doc instead, which sends the Birds running to the floor.

 

Rick Steiner & Sting vs. Jeff Raitz & Gary Young (1/4/87)

 

Steiner & Sting look awesome.

 

UWF TV Title: Savannah Jack © vs. Michael “PS” Hayes (1/4/87)

 

Hayes jumps Jack at the bell and the Birds follow so this is another non-match. Iceman, Link, & Chavo run off the Birds this time after 9 diving elbow smashes. Hayes grabs the UWF TV Title belt and walks out.

 

Lumberjack Match: Dark Journey vs. Missy Hyatt (1/4/87)

 

Missy comes out with a huge pillow and Steiner/Sting hold it up for her broken thumb. Gilbert & Missy do a tremendous job here of explaining the injury. DJ wins the match by forfeit and as Steiner/Sting jump the Link, they hold up DJ for a loaded purse shot but Iceman runs in and DJ nails Missy with the loaded purse. Gilbert carries Missy out of the arena.
