Posted August 19, 200718 yr comment_5420834 Brad Armstrong vs. Jack Victory (2/13/85) Brad looks good here. Terry Daniels & Tim Horner vs. Blue Demon & Paul Brown (2/13/85) Not that Blue Demon. “Dr. Death” Steve Willliams vs. The Shadow (6/8/86) Doc takes care of Shadow pretty easily and man is this crowd fuckin nuts. Tommy Gilbert & Bill Watts cut a great promos where he resigns from his post as a referee due to the situation with Eddie & Watts. The Bladerunners & Kortsia Korchenko vs. Jeff Gaylord, Perry Jackson, & Brett Sawyer (6/8/86) Gaylord as a rookie is hilarious. Hot Stuff brings out a big picture of Watts being buried under the Russian flag to a riotous response. This was a squash and Gaylord never even got in the ring. Ted DiBiase vs. “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer (6/8/86) DiBiase talks shit on Michael Hayes before the match and gets jumped from behind by Buzz. DiBiase used some great armdrags here and Buzz really goes to work on DiBiase’s back with backbreakers and grounded bearhugs. DiBiase gets some nearfalls with an inside cradle and a backslide to huge pops but Buzz takes him back down with the bearhug before bringing him back up for a nice belly-to-belly. DiBiase gets his comeback and throws some great punches along with his patented back elbow smash before hitting a great powerslam to get the win. This was a solid match and it's on the border for me as a nomination. I have no problem with it being on the block if Phil & Tom are down for it. UWF Tag Titles: The Fantastics © vs. The Sheepherders (6/8/86) Tulsa women love them some Fantastics and all four men come into this match with bandages on their heads from previous battles against each other. Fants hit the ring and take out the Sheeps while still in their ring gear as the match goes to a break. So we are JIP with Rogers hitting a monkey flip on Miller. Fants show great teamwork with their quick tags and keeping Luke in their corner. This soon turns into a really good back and forth match as the Sheeps start making quick tags as well. Fulton gets the hot tag and it turns into a four-way brawl. Fulton ends up getting spike piledriven on the floor by Butch & Victory and Luke gets the pin to win the titles or so it seems. Tommy Gilbert comes running out and tells Carl Fergie that Fulton was thrown over the top rope as TV time runs out with no decision but the Fants get their titles back. This was a wild brawl but like the above match a borderline nomination with the JIP part being a big factor in it on my end not crossing said border.

Yeah I was thinking of nominating the Dibiase and Sawyer match.
August 23, 200718 yr comment_5421045 This only lasted about 6 minutes and for what it is worth, I was not impressed with this match at all. These 2 guys are among the best brawlers Mid South has seen and they chose to play it safe. Both have also had much, much better matches that have already been nominated. I don't know if Buzz had pissed someone off but he hits a powerslam early in the match only for Dibiase to kick out yet Dibiase wins with... a powerslam?
