• Dick Slater vs. Broadway Malcolm

 

On the same day the promotion brings in Dick Slater and Buzz Sawyer, how awesome is that

 

• Tony Faulk & Pat Rose vs. The Barbarian & Humongous

 

Not good

 

• “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. Rick Dunn

 

Sawyer is so much fun to watch

 

• “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan & Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. The Nightmare & Jerry Gray

 

I like the Nightmare/Gray team as kind of a Mid-South version of Disorderly Conduct, this was fun

 

• “Hacksaw” Butch Reed vs. Bob Brown

 

It seemed from the commentary that Brown was in for some sort of push, but he fucks a bunch up here and this is a total mess

 

• The Fantastics vs. Ted Dibiase & “Dr. Death” Steve Williams

 

Man I haven't seen Williams kill anyone like this in Mid-South, this was an O'Days level beating by DiBiase and Williams, Rogers gets slaughtered in the Face in peril section, Williams punches him in the throat, Dibiase is kicking him in the eye, good blowout at the finish too. Really fun TV match, and the beating puts it over the top.

Ted DiBiase & Dr. Death beat the fuck out of Bob Sweetan for losing the Mid-South Tag Titles. Sweetan would make a comeback though and beat on DiBiase & Doc with a steel chair. Another extra.

 

“Mr. Unpredictable” Dick Slater vs. Broadway Joe Malcolm (9/25/85)

 

Slater makes his TV debut.

 

The Barbarian & Lord Humongous vs. Tony Falk & Pat Rose (9/25/85)

 

Squash.

 

“Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. Richard Dunn (9/25/85)

 

Buzz debuts and cuts a promo where he rips JCP & WWF before the match then murders Dunn.

 

Hacksaw Duggan & Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. Jerry Grey & The Nightmare (9/25/85)

 

This was yet another fun match with Grey & Nightmare as a team. I really liked the Duggan/Jake dynamic.

 

Mid-South TV Title: “Hacksaw” Butch Reed © vs. Bob Brown (9/25/85)

 

Pretty much a squash. Watts buries some magazine writers on commentary.

 

Ted DiBiase & “Dr. Death” Steve Williams vs. The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) (9/25/85)

 

DiBiase & Doc were at this point in my opinion the best team in the world as they were just brutal asskickers who were destroying fuckers. Fants also look good here too when they are on offense but it’s when Rogers is the FIP is where this match is kicking because Rogers takes a hellacious beating. Doc murdering Rogers with a clothesline after a leapfrog was awesome. Rogers fought and fought to get the hot tag to Fulton but fucked up a sunset flip spot off the middle rope although they rebounded nicely. Doc missed a diving body press off the middle rope and the hot tag was made. Fulton comes in blazing with this turning into a 4-way brawl. Fants hit a double dropkick on DiBiase but he would load up the glove as Doc MURDERED Fulton with a backdrop suplex attempt that was supposed to be an O’Connor Roll. Fulton would rebound but got his jaw jacked with the glove for the victory. I loved this match and yeah it was short and yeah there were some missed spots but goddammit it this was awesome. This moves forward.
