This was during your Dundee/Mantel/Budro period of domination. They are really great as heels to build a show around, but the face side is so anemic, I can see why this period bombed. I mean Dirty Rhodes, Rick Casey, Thunderbolt Hamilton and the Fantastics are some pretty pathetic top faces. This set has a fun destruction of Tracey Smothers by Dundee and Mantell, and Dundee doing the same angle that he did in Mid-South, where he slaps Fulton for stealing his shtick. I imagine that must have been a legit Dundee beef if he kept booking angles around it. They also show a music video where Dundee ran the top rope like Yoshitune.

“Nature Boy” Buddy Landell vs. Lionel Green (2/1/86)

 

Squash with an awesome dropkick by Landell.

 

Landell cuts a great promo about Dirty Rhodes but when he shows up, he has a phone call to attend to. Dirty Rhodes then comes out for a promo on Landell. (2/1/86)

 

Abdul Khaddafi (The Libyan) vs. Bobby Fuqua (2/1/86)

 

Squash.

 

We get the debut promo of JD Costello with The Mod Squad and this is good stuff. Costello is really a Cornette knockoff and Lance hints at feeling that same way. (2/1/86)

 

The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) vs. The Undertakers (2/1/86)

 

Squash then they get attacked by Bill Dundee & Abdul Ghadaffi (The Libyan) and this was a great brawl. (2/1/86)

 

Dirty Rhodes & Tracy Smothers vs. “Superstar” Bill Dundee & “Dirty” Dutch Mantell (2/1/86)

 

Dundee & Dutch are total asskickers here and get DQed. The brawl after the match is so great and this should be a definite extra.

 

Larry Hamilton vs. David Haskins (2/1/86)

 

Hamilton wins fairly easily.

 

The Spoiler unmasks as Frank Morrell and brings out Billy Travis as his protégé. Tony Falk & Pat Rose then come out to confront them and a brawl breaks out. This is extra material. (2/1/86)

 

Next we get an Idol compilation video. (2/8/86)

 

Abdul Ghaddafi vs. Jim Jameson (2/8/86)

 

Squash.

 

Then we get an Idol promo.

 

Larry Hamilton vs. Keith Eric (2/8/86)

 

Competitive squash.

 

Lawler sends in a video telling them what he has been up to since he left Memphis. Definite extra. (2/8/86)

 

Then we get another taped promo from JD Costello & The Mod Squad (2/8/86)

 

“Nature Boy” Buddy Landell & “Dirty” Dutch Mantell vs. Jerry Garmon & Benny Trailer (2/8/86)

 

Squash.

 

Dundee comes out and talks about the Thunderdome matches.

 

Then we get a Rick Casey video.

 

2 out of 3 falls: Rick Casey & Dirty Rhodes vs. The Undertakers (2/8/86)

 

Squash.

 

Then we get a Dundee video set to Bad To The Bone. Definite extra. (2/8/86)
