Posted September 20, 200718 yr comment_5422103 “Gentleman” Chris Adams vs. Gustavo Mendoza (9/28/86) Michael Hayes basically calls World Class the USFL on commentary. Adams used a great Superkick to win. They show a video of the faces hanging out at the Tulsa State Fair which is so great. UWF Heavyweight Title: Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy vs. Steve “Dr. Death” Williams (9/28/86) Hacksaw Duggan makes his return to the UWF after a tour of New Japan and he challenges the winner of the match for a shot at the title. Michael Hayes left for the ring during the break and they showed what happened with Hayes going to get Duggan out of the ring, which started a huge brawl between all 4 men. Akbar then comes down with Leroy Brown & One Man Gang who attack Duggan leaving Doc to get double-teamed. Gordy holds Doc’s left arm on the railing and Hayes jumps off the apron on the arm. Jim Ross says that the match will not happen but sure enough Doc comes back with his arm bandaged and he’s ready for action. Gordy immediately start working on the injured arm but Doc fights through the pain and uses headbutts on the ground to keep Gordy off of him but Gordy is relentless and just keeps working on the arm. Doc makes a comeback though with more headbutts and great right hand punches following it up with a spear. Gordy to his credit though continues to work on the arm but Doc continues to show bravery continuing to fight back at spots. Doc gets Gordy down with a fireman’s carry and then a double clothesline take both men down. Gordy climbs up top and Doc press slams him off with one hand and hits an ugly body press for a nearfall. Doc then hits two big spears on Gordy to take him down and then hits a one-handed piledriver using the trunks for another nearfall. Doc hit another clothesline for another nearfall and then throws Gordy into the ropes where he does a semi-Flair bump just hanging on the top rope until Doc knocks him off. The fans in Little Rock right now are going apeshit over this whole situation and then Hayes shows up again before being cut off by Ronnie West as Doc gets another nearfall. Doc sees Hayes while Gordy puts brass knux on his hand and KO’s Doc for the victory. This whole scenario was so fucking great and Jim Ross sealed the deal on commentary. Just fantastic stuff with Doc putting on a tremendous performance working with one arm and this is a slam dunk nomination. Bill Apter presents Bill Watts the PWI Editors Award for WALKING TALL in so many words. Iceman King Parsons & The Missing Link vs. John Tatum & Jack Victory (9/28/86) Eddie Gilbert is on commentary for this and lusts over Missy. Iceman looked really good here with his chop that took the spit out of Tatum and some nice dropkicks. Tatum is so great at selling a beating with his facials and body movements. Iceman is in basically the whole match as he was on offense early in the match and then became the FIP taking the punishment from the heels. Iceman finally gets the hot tag on Link who starts destroying the heels with headbutts as Dark Journey chases Missy around the ring. TV time runs out as the women get involved. “Nature Boy” Buddy Landell vs. Jeff Raitz (10/12/86) Budro has come home. Jack Victory vs. “Jumpin” Joe Savoldi (10/12/86) Jacko looks good and Savoldi was fine as well. Chavo Guerrero vs. Gary Young (10/12/86) Very good scientific match here. “Gentleman” Chris Adams & The Missing Link vs. One Man Gang & Savannah Jack (10/12/86) This was a fun match with Adams looking great and of course Leroy Brown & Akbar got involved for the DQ finish. After the match, Akbar and Jack get into it and Jack gets kicked out of Devastation Inc. by getting his ass kicked. Jack rebounds though with some great Superkicks and IT’S BREAKING LOOSE IN TULSA and a new babyface is born. Country Whipping Match: Ted DiBiase & Terry Taylor vs. Michael “PS” Hayes & Buddy Roberts (10/12/86) The leather is flying as soon as the faces hit the ring and this is wild brawl at the start. This was so great with the straps being used at will between wrestling moves and the Tulsa crowd was eating this up. The strap shots were just so intense and the match as a whole was very heated. Ross also being awesome on the commentary just made this match even better than what it was. The last 5 minutes of this was fast paced and Taylor hit a flying body block on Roberts for the win. The brawl continued after the match and DiBiase yanked out the loaded glove but the Birds got the glove off his hand and Hayes used it on DiBiase. Taylor clears the ring as DiBiase blades and Ross loses his voice to finish off this tremendous segment. Tremendous stuff and a definite nomination.
