Posted June 12, 200916 yr comment_5440590 Long story short, these discs - which, judging by the handwriting on them, were all burned by the same guy - don't work quite right and aren't really worth your time unless we can find better copies of them. They all have the same flaw where it will run for a few minutes and freeze. You can skip to the next section, but it will just do the same thing. Shame, because WCCW 1986 opens with a tag match that has Mike Von Erich on one side and the Dingo Warrior on the other, and that's the kind of battle of world class incompetents that I didn't want to miss out on. Also, Mike was tagging with Kevin, and I'm so crazy high on Kevin that I really wanted to see if he could carry Mike and the Woyah at the same time. Oh well.
November 4, 200916 yr comment_5445604 So I reburned discs 3-5 and the bouts would pause for a sec. but still watcheable. On one of the discs their was a fun Texas Tornado bout with the Fantastics vs Grappler/Tatum with Sunshine and Missy in each teams corner. Tomorrow I'll set up threads 4 them.
January 27, 201015 yr comment_5447377 Kevin & Mike Von Erich vs. Dingo Warrior (Jim Hellwig) & "Ravishing" Rick Rude (9/19/86) I really dug Kevin's armdrag counter using the ropes out of a greco-roman knucklelock at the beginning of the match before Mike & Dingo would tag in and boy did this go down quickly. Kevin would play FIP for a bit before making his own comeback with a jumping iron claw off the middle rope. Rude would counter by hitting the referee for the DQ so Dingo attacks him on the floor cementing his babyface turn. This could be extra material for the Dingo turn. World Class Tag Titles: "Maniac" Matt Borne & "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer © vs. Dingo Warrior (Jim Hellwig) & Steve Simpson (10/12/86) This is from the Cotton Bowl. Dingo dominates early with the heels bumping good for him before Simpson would come in to continue the offense but soon enough he would play the FIP which would feature a clip in the action missing some of this. Dingo would get the hot tag to a big pop and started to rip the paint off his face before pounding the heels in a sloppy way until throwing Buzz over the top rope to Borne on the floor for the DQ. The heels made this match okay but it wasn't good. World Class World Heavyweight Title: Black Bart © vs. Kevin Von Erich (10/12/86) Kerry on crutches would accompany Kevin to ringside riding in a Corvette. Kevin looked good here using his legs to keep Bart on the mat or taking him down like the fucking great standing leg scissors on Bart’s ribs. Bart would get control and pounded on Kevin sending him to the floor and when he came in he got a legdrop across the back of his neck for a nearfall but Kevin would bounce right back up and would hit Bart with a flying dropkick off the top rope and a diving body press for the win. There was a great celebration after the match with family and friends in the ring and the locker room with a champagne bath. This was really short as it didn’t even go 7 minutes so I’m not sure about a nomination. Steel Cage Match w/Fritz Von Erich as special referee: Bruiser Brody vs. Abdullah the Butcher (10/12/86) This just wasn’t as good as the Fort Worth match because of two reasons as the cage kept them from doing what they do best and that was brawling around the ring and the other being the presence of Fritz Von Erich. Fritz became the main focus of this match to no surprise and this was setup to further his long feud with Gary Hart as well as to setup Fritz & Abby for a future match which would happen the next month. I think this should be an extra because it furthers the feuds in a good way but the match itself wasn’t anything really. World Class Six-Man Tag Titles: Kevin, Lance, & Mike Von Erich © vs. Brian Adias, Black Bart, & Crusher Yurkov (Bigelow) (10/31/86) The match doesn’t really get going until Kevin gets in the ring as he brawls with the big guys trying to get to Adias. Yurkov was choking Kevin on the mat but Kevin would raise up using his legs around Yurkov’s head and goes into his patented leg scissors in a cool spot. Adias would finally come in there when Kevin was down but would get out as Kevin started fighting back. Kevin would get the tag to Lance who would take punishment for a while. Kevin would get the hot tag and put the iron claw on Yurkov before it turned into a wild 6-way brawl with Rick Hazzard calling for the bell making this a DQ win for the Von Erichs. This had some good moments but as a whole it wasn’t that hot and not a nomination. Then we get some 1984-85 stuff I've seen.
