Posted September 29, 200718 yr comment_5422366 There is a good bit of this I have seen but here is what I haven’t seen. JIP of the UWF Heavyweight Title Tournament finals with Gordy/Duggan and One Man Gang The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael “PS” Hayes & Buddy Roberts) vs. Ted DiBiase & Terry Taylor (5/25/86) DiBiase dominated early especially on Hayes where you could just feel the hatred there between both men. Taylor tagged in and slowed it down with Buddy who did the fucking Nishimura headscissors spot. Birds tried to get the advantage on Taylor but he fought out and tagged in DiBiase who started on Hayes again but met a boot to the face when coming into the corner. Buddy tagged in and continued the Birds offensive barrage but DiBiase just kept fighting back and then engaged in a slugfest with Hayes. Hayes was bumping madman here taking shots from DiBiase & Taylor. Taylor would trade nearfalls with the Birds before Roberts would take stereo atomic drops from DiBiase & Taylor. Buddy would send DiBiase to the floor with Hayes trying to piledriver him but DiBiase ran him into the ringpost. Birds then took it to DiBiase when he entered the ring as the Tulsa crowd was going nuts. DiBiase would counter a Hayes suplex into one of his own and the double tag was made with Taylor taking care of the Birds. DiBiase would join in for the 4-way brawl and Taylor would get Roberts in the O’Connor Roll but Hayes would hit him with a clothesline. Hayes then picked up Roberts and suplexed him face first on Taylor for the pinfall. This was a really solid match and it goes on the block. UWF Heavyweight Title: Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy © vs. “Dr. Death” Steve Williams (6/22/86) This is the first big singles match and in Tulsa of course. I can’t say enough about when these two go against each other as it’s nothing but just hard-hitting action with great bumps by Gordy. Doc’s selling for Gordy’s punches was great as he could go down at anytime but just kept standing. Gordy then threw Doc so hard into the turnbuckle it fucking broke, so fucking great. The ring crew came up and fixed the rope as the guys were pounding each other and fixed it pretty quickly. No one man held the advantage for too long as it was great back and forth action but Doc backdropping Gordy out of a piledriver attempt to the floor would turn the tide. Doc throwing Gordy around like a ragdoll into the turnbuckles was great. Hayes would come down to ringside but Watts would soon counter him. Doc hit a big clothesline following up with a tackle that sent Tommy Gilbert to the floor. Hayes would trip Doc up, which of course brought Watts over to take care of him. Doc would carry Gordy around for the Oklahoma Stampede with Watts counting and the Tulsa crowd going absolutely bonkers. IT’S BREAKING DOWN IN TULSA as the OU contingency clear the ring. This was greatness and a definite nomination even with the non-finish. “Cowboy” Bill Watts vs. Sting (6/22/86) Gilbert would explain before the match that Watts had ran Korchenko & Rock out of the UWF. Sting went into this match legit scared to death because of what he thought Watts thought of him personally but Watts told him that he knew he had potential and that he’s not a problem. Watts tells Gilbert that he would beat Sting then would whoop his ass too. Watts would win quickly with the Stampede then started pounding Gilbert bloody with a belt and Gilbert bled a ton here. Freebirds came out and Watts held his own for a while but the numbers game was too much and Gordy caught Watts off the top rope with the Oriental Spike. Gordy then puts the Spike on Watts and Watts bleeds from the mouth until the dressing room empties for a fucking insane brawl. This was phenomenal and a slam dunk extra. Jim Ross was godly at this time. DiBiase then has a wild brawl with Hayes after Hayes expresses his anger with the fans calling him a sissy. Roberts joins in but Taylor follows up then Gordy then Duggan and IT’S BREAKING LOOSE IN TULSA as the Birds are sent running. Jesus the UWF in this time period some of the hottest TV ever and it still holds up as well today as then. Ted DiBiase, Hacksaw Duggan, & Terry Taylor vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy, Michael “PS” Hayes, & Buddy Roberts) (6/22/86) This is nothing but a wild 6-way brawl from the start but it would eventually settle down to a normal match. It would start getting kicking even better but TV time would run out.
