Fantastics vs Gilbert/Sting This is 2 out of 3 falls. Houston loves them some Fantastics. We get an early shine with both heels stooging and setting up payoffs. The test of strength with Sting sets up the heat.Gilbert was great setting up a distraction for a Sting spot. Fulton was great here as a FIP. Hot tag and Rogers is on fire.Eventually though the heels cheating pays off. The 2nd fall starts with the heels beating down Rogers. They really milk the drama here. Roger's . Fulton gets in and steals the fall. 3rd fall and it's for all the marbles. Slugfest, then a big cross body sends both to the floor. A great double pin is teased, but it's only a 2. The Fantastics hit a top rope Hart Attack. Tatum and Victory interfere. . 3 1/2*

Savoldi vs Mendoza Savoldi is from the famous wrestling family. He was a big star in ICW during the great Tony Atlas heel run. Savoldi has worked all over, but never really made it big. Mustavo is over selling big tim and it's grand. Crowd is into this match. Savoldi throws a great looking drop kick. A big corner bump by Savoldi. Mustavo getting heat, and it's pretty tame. The crowd wants to hate him and he's working a chin lock. Savoldi makes a comeback. It's very baby facish in nature. Pretty much the get your popcorn and a coke match.

OMG vs Young Gang has always been one of my favorite gimmicks. Young would later in the decade be managed by Akbar. I loved Young stomping on OMG foot to be able to reverse the wristlock. Of course OMG sold it up big. Young staying on the arm.I loved the tease of pulling the tights. They did a great engaging the crowd with it, and Tommie Gilbert's reactions to it. Loved Young going after the wrist. OMG turns the tide and tosses Young to Akbar on the outside. Great way to get heat. OMG still selling the repercussions of the wrist damage. Eye rake by OMG and he's in full bully mode. Gang misses a standing avalanche in the corner. Young lights him up with forearms and drop kicks. Young misss and eats a clothesline. Big Leg drop by OMG gets a win. What a smartly worked match. Akbar cuts a promo. 3*

6 man tag. It's a wild brawl to start. It settles down, and we get a nice shine sequence. Tully cuts off Tiger and the heels start to get heat. Tiger is a good FIP. Tank using his weight by leaning on Tiger is really smart. Robley in with a nasty right. Casey gets the hot tag. Now the ring fills up. Order is maintained. Tully ping ponging for Duncum. All the faces getting a piece of Tully. It's a battle of hosses with Duncum and Patton. Robley working over Duncum. This is kind of like a AWA tag structure. This is the 2nd heat segment. The crowd is with Duncum. Casey in, and the ring fills up. Casey scores the win. This was a good solid tag. 3 1/4*

Robley vs Casey This is a bounty match. Eddie Mansfield put a 5,0000 bounty. on Casey. I really liked Robley's focus on the arm. Casey counters and gives Robley a taste of his own medicine. Now Robley is targeting the neck and throat area. This is pretty vicious. Casey teases a comeback , but is cut off. Now Robley moves onto the leg. Robley is throwing everything at the wall and hopes something sticks . Casey starts up another comeback and the crowd is with him 100%. Sleeper and the crowd erupts. Heels cheat and get the win. I thought the story was great. Casey's selling was strong. This was a good match. 3 1/2* Then we get some fun promos.

I like both of these guys. Mansfield in the footage has looked like a lost great worker. Tom Pritchard clearly has an understanding of psychology early on. I love Mansfield using the ropes as leverage to gain the advantage. Tom reverses it and really works over the arm. For a 2nd match on the card this was excellent. The crowd got into it. The match maybe went a tad long, but overall was really effective. 2 1/2*

3/12/17 WXW Walter vs Dragunov 5* This was an incredible match. Walter was the monster who just brought it. Dragunov was this babyface who just never would die. Showed incredible fire. Dragunov's chest was just a mess. Walter's was a a one man wrecking crew. Walter felt like a high end Terry Gordy here. Dragunov kept going to his finisher, finally he's able to topple the monster. Just an epic match with both guys playing their role to a tee.

Hayes vs Dibiase Ted is out with the UWF title. Hayes and Dibiase are whipping each other good. Ted's fistdrop is a thing of beauty. Hayes is so great in his selling in this style of match. Teddy eats the cage and is busted open. Hayes is working the cut. He's rolling the whip up in his fist to inflict more damage. Everytime Hayes went for the belt Ted had an answer. Ted pins him after a big punch. 3 1/2* Promos Dibiase building a rmatch on Halloween night. Gordy this is pretty awesome. Love how he does it with the ice pack.

Gordy vs Dibiase I was there for this. My 14th Birthday. It's funny in St. Louis it was hockey games. 85,86,88,89 was wrestling.They're brawling right from jump street. Gordy focusing on the back. Dibiase throwing bombs. Gordy makes Ted taste the cage. I loved Gordy tossing Ted neck into the corner buckle. The impact looks nasty. Gordy is busted open and Ted is after that cut. He's punching it, fist dropping it, biting it, and drops the knee on it. Big punch from Gordy turns the tide. Big neckbreaker as a call back to the neck work. Belly to back causes more damage. Again the neck into the turnbuckle followed up by a nasty lariat. Gordy hurts the leg on an Atomic drop spot. Ted goes for the Figure 4, but gets kicked off. Gordy back to the neck. Ted hits the piledriver as a nasty revenge spot, and is a great finish with all of Terry's blood loss. It would totally fuck him up with all the blood going to the top of his head and leaking out. Ted gets the win. Johnny mentioned it to me, and I totally forgot that the neck work from Gordy is a deep cut. Flash back to Georgia and Terry Gordy piledrove Ted once on the floor and 3 more in the ring. So Gordy knows all about Ted's history with his bad neck.4 3/4*

That story has been around forever. I've heard it so many times I believe it.
