Hot Stuff International (“Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert, “Capt. Redneck” Dick Murdoch, & Rick Steiner) vs. Shane Douglas, Ken Massey, & Jeff Raitz (6/12/87)

 

Murdoch is so awesome here in every way with his selling and his offense. This is also Douglas’ debut. Murdoch does a fantastic promo after the match about Barry Switzer, Dusty, & Dr. Death.

 

Black Bart vs. Bob Bradley (6/12/87)

 

Squash.

 

UWF Tag Titles: The Lightning Express (Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner) © vs. Enforcer #2 (Doug Gilbert) & Shaska Whatley (6/12/87)

 

I guess Enforcer #1 (Mike George) quit the company. Shaska is great here on his selling and the champs looked good also.

 

They show the Dr. Death/Switzer promo again.

 

Barry Windham vs. Davey Haskins (6/12/87)

 

Windham looks good.

 

Steve Cox vs. Mike Boyette (6/12/87)

 

Squash.

 

Shane Douglas vs. Mike Boyette (6/25/87)

 

Boyette does a crazed promo before the match and gets beat.

 

Sting vs. Black Bart (6/25/87)

 

This is a brawl from the bell with the ref getting knocked out to the floor and Akbar getting involved along with Chris Adams who pushes Bart off the top rope as he tried the Texas Compactor. Sting would get the branding iron and cleared the ring with this match being a no contest.

 

The Lightning Express (Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner) vs. Angel of Death & The Terminator (6/25/87)

 

LX do a fine job here of carrying these guys. Terminator would lock the claw in on Horner after the match and they are really trying to get this gimmick over.

 

Barry Windham vs. The Enforcer (Doug Gilbert) (6/25/87)

 

Windham looks good.

 

“Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert & “Capt. Redneck” Dick Murodch vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy & Buddy Roberts) (6/25/87)

 

Gilbert sells his ass off for Buddy early in the match bumping all over the place. Gordy & Murdoch finally get in there against each other and it’s nothing but a slugfest that doesn’t last long though as Gilbert tags in. Gilbert would soon take a beating from Gordy then Buddy once he tags back in but Buddy would get caught in the corner and Murdoch would start pounding the hell out of him. Murdoch would start working on Buddy’s left arm in honor of Dr. Death but Buddy would finally get the hot tag on Gordy who starts cleaning house on Gilbert. Murdoch would ram Buddy’s shoulder into the ringpost on the floor before going back to the ring where it’s 2-on-1 on Gordy then hits the referee for the DQ finish. Gilbert would throw the ref to the floor and Gordy has bladed thus bringing out Michael Hayes but he gets jumped from behind on the way to the ring. Dr. Death would show up and he started bashing heads in with his cast with Gilbert & Murdoch juicing. The match was really good then the brawl afterwards was awesome and this goes on the block.

Sting vs. Black Bart (6/25/87)

 

This was fun, I like early face Sting

 

“Hot Stuff? Eddie Gilbert & “Capt. Redneck? Dick Murodch vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (Terry “Bamm Bamm? Gordy & Buddy Roberts) (6/25/87)

 

Fuck yeah, I still think any show where all promos discuss Dusty probably belongs in a Crockett set, but this should make any set it is consideration for. I loved all of Gilberts goofy bumping for Roberts punches, and then the heels get nasty trying to break every body part they get their hands on. Plus your post match brawl was awesome. Good shit.
