UWF 4/5/86 Tag Title bout Champions The Sheepherders vs The Fantastics This is a classic old school tag bout between two tremendous teams. First off The Fantastics could sue have the women in Tulsa, OK,where this match took place for sexual harassment! Wow! As per usual The Fantastics use their quickness early to confound the Sheepherders and take charge! They send the boys from New Zealand out of the ring more than once! They reverse a attempt at running them together mid ring to cause the old "Malfunction at the Junction" spot for the Sheepherders! The heel team keep an advantage for more than 30 seconds, until Luke Williams throws Tommy Rogers to the outside where he hits the ring barricade kidney first. They continue the punishment As Luke drops knees in Rogers back forcing him right back to the arena floor. Butch then goes out and drives Tommy chest 1st into the barricade. Tommy fights back into the ring where he makes the tag to Bobby Fulton. All four men are in the ring, Tommy hits the concrete again. This time however, he climbs to the top rope on the outside and hits a dropkick to the back of Butch which cause him to collide with Luke. Butch falls outside, meanwhile the Fantastics use a double team move wghere Tommy presses Bobby over his head and trows him on a prone Luke. The ref counts the pin and we have new UWF Tag Champions!
WWA TV (God help me!!!( 4/5/86 Well this episode of the WWA was not as god awful as the 1st I reviewed, It was still bargain basement bad! The good first, "Flying" Fred Curry has a not terrible match with the rip off Russian Igor Zakoff. Curry won the ok bout with the "Brisco" corner sunset flip! The other bright spot is the manager in the area Dr. Jerry Graham he had very good mic skills and made the crowd hate him onsite! The Great Wojo had a boring main event win over "Man Mountain" Tyler. There was plenty of things that were bad/made no sense. Like say a supposed 7ft 2 550 pound ex coal miner called the "Kentucky Butcher"(who was green and horrible) have his entrance music be Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical" What the actual hell?.... Or how bout the fact that El Brasero was in a tag match and got the win on a pin where the man he beat clearly had a shoulder up!,,,,and they showed a replay of it in case you missed it!
AWA TV 4/6/86 This show was shown in the Metro NJ/NY area! In ring it was all squash bouts. The best part of the show was various promos done for an upcoming Meadowlands show on 5/28/86. This event was a joint event between the AWA and NWA! I wish there was video of this card!......Also on this show was the debut of the infamous WRESTLEROCK Rumble! Worth a look just for the promo work!
