Kerry Von Erich vs. Gino Hernandez (4-14-85) (9:30)

 

This is there touring match, and is pretty great, I loved the top rope armdrag comedy spot. Still I think this might be a slight step below a list match.

 

Kerry Von Erich vs. Thor

 

This isn't as bad as you might expect it to be. Kerry has a great set up for the stomach claw

 

The Fantastics vs. The Dirty White Boys (4-14-85) (17:30)

 

This is pretty damn great. I loved the early belly stomp comedy spot, and the heel beat down is really good. The DWB's are really great at forearms and stomps.

 

“Hacksaw” Butch Reed vs. The Barbarian (4-14-85) (9:25)

 

Barbarian is pretty terrible, Reed tries, but doesn't really succeed.

 

Rock ‘n’ Roll Express vs. “DR. Death” Steve Williams & Gino Hernandez

 

This is yet another great Rock and Rolls match. Gino is such an awesome cocksucker heel, that he adds a ton to you standard R+R's match. Gino's missed back elbow is especially awesome. DVD selection

“The Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich vs. “Gorgeous” Gino Hernandez (4/14/85)

 

These should be great on World Class but doesn’t cut it here. Kerry will be proven to be a great worker without Flair.

 

“The Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich vs. Thor (Kevin Kelly) (4/14/85)

 

Kerry makes Thor look like he has something here.

 

The Dirty White Boys (Tony Anthony & Len Denton) vs. The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) (4/14/85)

 

These teams work great together so this should be fun. I loved the Fants early comedy spots with Fulton shaking his ass, Rogers doing the chicken dance, & Fulton walking on Anthony a couple of times to taunt Denton. This works so great because you know that when the heels get on offense they are going to want to kill the Fants and sure enough that happens. DWB’s are relentless on Rogers who bumps like a madman with the DWB’s really working on his back. Both DWB’s use bearhugs among the stomps and other strikes to weaken Rogers who seemed lifeless at one point. Fulton would get the hot tag and the Tulsa fans go apeshit as he starts pounding the DWB’s with Rogers following suit. Fulton would get an O’Connor Roll on Denton but Anthony would nuke him with a clothesline to get the win in a quick finish after a hot tag. I really liked this match a lot and it should be resurrected to go forward on the list.

 

The Barbarian vs. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed (4/14/85)

 

Reed was fine here but Barbarian was still green as grass.

 

Mid-South Tag Titles: The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) © vs. “Gorgeous” Gino Hernandez & “Dr. Death” Steve Williams (3/31/85)

 

This is from Tulsa. RnR dominate the early part of the match with Gino but Doc tags in and it changes as he just throws Morton around like a ragdoll until Morton sneaks in an O’Connor Roll then hits armdrags on both heels sending them to the floor. Doc would finally get Morton in their corner and tagged Gino in who completely took control hitting Morton with elbows and acted like the biggest cocksucker by going “WHOOOOOOO” after every one. Doc would tag in and the beating of Morton continued as Doc hit 3 straight backbreakers for a nearfall then followed up with a bearhug. Gino tagged in and continue the onslaught until he missed his patended diving back elbow off the top rope followed up by a clash of heads with Morton falling near his corner but Gino got the tag to Doc who ran over to cut Morton off. Doc kept the offense going but missed a running shoulderblock into the corner and Morton got the hot tag on Gibson who cleaned house like he always does. Of course we have a 4-way brawl with Morton getting an O’Connor Roll on Gino for the win. This was a fine match but I’m not sure if it is nomination material or not.
