Posted January 15, 200817 yr comment_5427149 Tully Blanchard vs. Robert Gibson (12:17) (5:52) (18:19) - Story here has Gibson holding on to Tully's arm for dear life. However, after a pin attempt, Tully rubs Gobert's face into the ropes and gains the advantage. Tully, scrapes, kicks, elbows and just abuses Gibson for awhile. The end stretch is pretty hot with Gibson reversing or dodging Tully offense only to attempt a pin or hold but Tully escaping. They end up doing the hiptoss ref bump and JJ and Morton get involved. Flair also gwets involved and they injure Ricky Morton. I don't know how far this match will go but it is worth a look at the very least. (NWA TV 4/87 - 5/87 Disc 3)
August 1, 201411 yr comment_5616540 I give this a solid nomination. Tully was great here just cheap shotting the hell out of Gibson and selling all of his offense. The crowd was hot. Their was some real nice near falls here. It was all action. As far as screw job finishes go this was pretty good.
February 19, 20178 yr comment_5788894 NWA World TV Title: Tully Blanchard © vs. Robert Gibson (5/12/87)The $10,000 is also on the line here of course and this is a fresh matchup. Gibson has the advantage early on Tully keeping him grounded on the mat for a while. Dillon would get involved giving Tully a chance to get over on Gibson but it still doesn't work as Tully has to go to the floor to regroup. Tully still is at the mercy of Gibson once back in the ring but a knee to the gut and a neckbreaker allows Tully to take over. Tully ramps up the intensity as he takes it to the floor where he slams Gibson neck first on the rail which pisses off Morton and allows Dillon to punch Gibson. Tully would get slammed off the top rope and Gibson is back in the match giving everything he had to Tully who is good at taking the punishment and surviving. Gibson would hip toss Tully right into Tommy Young who went to the floor then Gibson would get a pinfall on Tully with Morton making the count. Morton & Dillon then brawl in the ring as Gibson backdropped Tully over the top rope for a DQ. Flair then ran into the ring to brawl with Morton and he posted him with the fans going nuts. Flair then drops a knee off the top rope and the beatdown continues with Flair getting the Figure-Four until Gibson runs them off with a chair. This was a pretty solid match and a very hot angle afterwards puts this over the top for a nomination.
