3/22/86 "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer vs "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. North American Title match. This exactly as you picture it a brief hard hitting brawl! Duggan came into the ring with bandaged ribs from a previous attack by Sawyer. A half a minute into the match "Mad Dog takes a scary looking bump between the top/middle ropes to the outside after a flurry of punches by Duggan! Sawyer's feet never touched a rope and he flew out and landed back first! Sawyer got the heat after taking an early beating by ducking Duggan's Football tackle finish and big Jim went thru the ropes to "SPLAT" on the floor. Sawyer had to be leaving the area because we was the champ and had control for less than a minute. He throws Duggan back in hits a suplex goes for his top rope splash, Duggan moves hits his football tackle and wins the belt in 6 minutes! The roof blew off the arena in OK City! .... A title squash is very rare in this era, but that is what this was!
UWF Tag title bout Champions Ted DiBiase/Steve Williams vs The kiwi Sheepherers! Doc/Teddy are using "Born In the USA" as their theme, As many did at this time. Did Nobody listen to the song? It ain't exactly a ringing endorsement for the country!...oh well! The Sheepherders could get heat in a phone booth! They had a young Jack Victory as their flag bearer.Typical if not a bit rushed, for tv I assume, tag bout! Sheepherders took over after Doc rushed the corner and ate a boot to the face! Classic tag finish As after a hot tag DiBiase hooks on the figurefore on Butch Miller. Jack victory jumps on the apron with the NZ flag distracting both Dr Death and the ref. As doc pummels victory, Luke Williams comes of the top rope with the "steel" flag pole to DiBiase's Chest. Ref turns counts the pin and presto changeo go the UWF tag belts to the boys from NZ! The hot crowd elevated this match no doubt!
3/22/86 Mid-Atlantic heavyweight title match, Champ Sam Houston vs Dadgum Black Bart! Of tge three matches covered today this was easily the best! A crisp fast paced affair with very solid work put in by both guys! Lord the ladies in this crowd loved Sam Houston. He began fast showing his quickness. Hitting bart with a crossbody then a series of three pinpoint dropkicks. At one point Houston sends Bart over the top rope with a one legged dropkick and Bart nails the grardrail chest first. They wrestle thru a ad break. When we get back bart catches Sam and gives him a
Stungun, throat first into the top rope! Houston with a great fire filled comeback.The fisish was long but well executed as Houston dropkicked Bart into the ref after that Sam goes on to pin Bart twice for a visual three count with no ref. As Sam comes at him Bart grabs Houston by the trunks and hurls him to the floor(Sam took a stiff looking back bump) As a dazed Houston is climbing back in the ring Black Bart climbs to the middle rope When Sam sticks his head thru the ropes Bart hits a Guillotine leg drop(what he called the Texas Trash Compactor I swear i am not making that up!) Houston fails to a heap on the concrete! Bart goes out rolls a lifeless Houston in the ring and the recovered ref counts the pin! A new Mid-Atlantic champion crowned! This was simple but very good work done by these guys!
