Adrian Street vs "Wildcat"Wendell Cooley. Street is defending his Continental Heavyweight title! I love "Exotic" Adrian! A Standout gimmick/persona.Sort of Goldust version 1! A double tough "shooter" as well!His valet/wife "Miss Linda" was no joke in her own right. Street had the belt painted pink! Interesting side note the ring announcer for the match former Alabama Jr heavyweight champion and "job guy"1st class Mike Jackson! My god he was a great worker!....Right at the bell Cooley scores with several rights, Street hits the floor and Cooley comes out and chases him down the aisle. Cooley comes back to the ring and goes after Miss Linda. Street set Cooley up perfectly as Adrian runs back down and clobbers the "Wildcat" from behind. Street beats him up on the floor then gets in the ring and skips around! That draws "HEAT" in Alabama folks! Adrian and Miss Linda take Turns one distracts the ref while the other beats the dog out of Cooley. Cooley finally gets back on the apron and starts to "No sell" Streets punches. Adrian backs away Cooley steps through ropes and begins doing the Hacksaw Jim Duggan bigfoot stomp. Street rushes him and puts on a full Nelson. Cooley reverses the hold and begins to drive Street's face into the turnbuckle while still holding onto the hold. Adrian escapes and goes behind and hits a beautiful crucifix! Cooley kicks out at two and somehow ends up on top and pins Adrian for three to win the Championship, The finish was clunky and odd and made no sense! The match has legit 98% street beating the crap out of Wildcat Cooley! This was odd why have a babyface win your big title on a "flash/fluke" pin!
3/29/86 WWA(Indianapolis) TV This is going to be very bad get ready! We start the show mid-match,My guess is the 1st Part of the match was so bad they didn't wanna show it, but then why show what they did??? The match is "Flying"Fred Curry vs the Hooded Hangman. This is on the short list of the worst 2 minute squashes I have ever seen! Curry won with a botched snap mare(I doubt the hangman had taken many by the looks of him)! Two eye rakes with the heels of his boots and the single worst front roll i have ever seen, Curry did not get off the ground he very gently rolled over the guy and pinned him!
The hosts of the show are Terry Sullivan sounds as if he is reading cue cards with forced zeal and Dick the Bruiser who talks so low and growls i cant understand a word he is saying(that is probably for the best). Next we have a "Jumping"Jeff Farmer level interview from Calypso Jim! The Audio on this show is really bad,so I don't know who he is talking to here. but he calls him Camel Breath and says he is going to ride him all over the ring next Saturday night(i swear i'm not making that up!) This promo should air on LOGO! He says he doesn't like people from this guy's country and then seconds later says he doesn't know where his opponent is from! He keeps rambling for so long they cut to black as he is still raving! This is a big ole train wreck so far! The rest of this show got no better as there were at least three men who were called by famous names but were very cheap knock off's of their namesakes of 20 and 30 years before 1986! There was a Great Wojo A Dr. Jerry Graham and believe it or not some big goof called "Yukon: Moose Cholak! I find this tactic by Bruiser really desperate and sad! To top it off they introduced a island "savage" gimmick that does not age well! Late in the show Calypso Jim came out and stripped the 3rd rate Dr Jerry Graham pf his clothes! This show was so bad it was funny to begin wuth but after 40 minutes i'm just sad!
3/30/86 from the spectrum in Philly a 3 on 2 handicapped match with Don Muraco, Mr FUJI And Johnny V vs Ricky Steamboat and Hulk Hogan. Muraco and Hogan start and right off the bat Muraco goes after Hogan's taped ribs(a injury he got at the hands of Don and King Kong Bundy on a Saturday Night's main event to set up the Hogan/Bundy cage match as the main event for WrestleMania2 on April 7th! Hogan gains control after a moment by hitting Muraco with a clothesline in the corner! He then tags Steamboat who gets a nice pop and they double team Muraco. The heels finally get the heat on steamboat and do some great heel double team work in the corner! Muraco distracts Hogan and the ref and the 2 managers do a number on steamboat! Dragon finally gets to Hogan for the hot tag. Muraco gets hogan from behind but he quickly regains the advantage by using Steamboat to drop kick the heels as the come to the corner. All six men are in the ring as Ricky climbs Hogan's shoulders in the corner and come off with his flying bodypress knocking Muraco and Johnny V both down as Hogan hits Fuji with a clothesline and the big legdrop for the pin! This match was nothing special but the crowd went crazy for the finish!
