Posted October 16, 200717 yr comment_5422823 #1 Contender Match for the UWF Heavyweight Title: “Dr. Death” Steve Williams vs. “Capt. Redneck” Dick Murdoch (6/13/87) This is from the Superdome and Doc’s comeback match. Doc has the big cast on his arm and if he uses it then he will be DQed. They go to a commercial break like 2 minutes into the match but it looks like we don’t miss it much as Doc is still controlling Murdoch on the mat. Murdoch tries to work on Doc’s arm early but Doc counters it every chance he gets including posting Murdoch’s left arm and working on it. Murdoch though would turn the tables and he started working on Doc’s arm as we go to another break. We come back from break and we totally miss Doc getting the advantage back as he is back to working on Murdoch’s arm but Murdoch would hit Doc’s injured arm with the microphone stand as Gilbert had the referee distracted. Murdoch would then hit Doc with the ring bell which Doc sold like death but he kicked out of the pinfall. Doc would hit the Oklahoma Stampede though but Gilbert would put Dick’s leg on the bottom rope. Doc would start his comeback and he started peppering Murdoch with punches but the battle would go to the floor where Murdoch would post Doc who would juice. We go to another commercial break and we come back with Murdcoh putting the boots to Doc but Doc would hit a spear on Murdoch that would send the referee to the floor then nailed Gilbert with the cast. Doc would then KO Murdoch with the cast and the referee made the count. Big Bubba then showed up and stood there as Gilbert & Murdoch would attack Doc who ate a brainbuster. Dusty would hit the ring and started brawling with the heels but was then destroyed by them with Murdoch using a bottle. Dusty would cut a great bloody promo afterwards. The babyface locker room would make the save. This was a very good match and a great angle afterwards and this goes on the block.

November 12, 200717 yr comment_5423866 I liked this as well. I thought how both guys worked the arm was good. Doc's facials of showing pain was great. Murdoch just attacked the arm relentlessly. Doc's payback spots were nicely executed. Overall, just good stuff.
December 14, 200717 yr comment_5425255 Yeah this fucking ruled, I loved Murdoch working this like a New Jack match constantly grabbing shit from the outside, plus you got to love the blading of the arm. Finish was fucking nuts too, this goes on.
