Log Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Gordy's attendance was spotty at best. He no-showed matches with Martel for the title (one in Chicago had Buddy Roberts get the shot), and hayes ended up subbing for him in several matches against Blackwell IIRC. Gordy/hayes is the only combo that would have matched up with the LOD with any credibility, and with Gordy not reliable, they didn't take the chance. Are there any Gordy/Blackwell matches out there? I'd have to think they'd be a lock for the dvdvr set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Gordy was touring All-Japan a good bit in 1985 as well so there was that. Yeah I always got the feeling from watching AWA back then that the East Coast reacted better to the Birds than the AWA traditional cities then. Gaijin didn't work as many tours back then as they would come the 80s. I'd have to look in the Super Catalogues to see how many series he worked in 1985, but seems like it was limited based on tv: 6/1/85 AJPW TV Baba/Jumbo/Tenryu vs. Singh/Gordy/Milano 6/8/85 AJPW TV Jumbo vs. Terry Gordy 10/5/85 AJPW TV Jumbo/Tenryu vs. Gordy/Robinson 10/21/85 (match date via AJ Classics) Funks & Tiger Mask vs Billy Robinson & Terry Gordy & Chavo Guerrero 10/22/85 (match date via AJ Classics) Funks vs. Terry Gordy/Art Crews 11/16/85 AJPW TV Choshu/Khan vs. Kabuki/Gordy That looks like just two tours: one in May/June, and one in October. He wasn't in the Tag League, so the tag opposite Choshu's Army was a left over tv taping to fill the week before Tag League started. Gordy is the type who usually would be on TV by that point if he was on a series. His work in AJPW picked up a bit more in 1986, but I don't think he was on the majority (4 out of 8 tours) in a year until the 90s.

jdw Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 November looks like Riki's promotion. Would have been a short trip. From the TV matches, May/Jun and October look like longer visits. August is odd. Guys like Killer Tim Brooks got seven TV matches off the prior series. Steve Regal got four. Texas Red got five. Blackwell got seven. Tim Horner got three, everyone of them with stars on the other side. Same tour, Marty Janetty got four TV matches, with the lowest ranked guy opposite him being Tigersawa: Baba, Dory, Tenryu, Choshu, Yatsu, Hamaguchi, Tiger Mask. Brooks may have been getting a minor push as Tiger Jeet's partner, and Blackwell a little but of a push. But none of those guys were Gordy. I suspect it either was a one-shot appearance (the 8/31/85 big show), or he was scheduled and cancelled. The 8/31/85 went deep as far as what appeared on TV, and he's not among those listed. So I'm wondering if he was pulled. I'll look in the Super Catalogue. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have Gordy being free from August 26th - September 1st on the August tour. I also have him free from May 13th to June 21st and October 1st to November 16th on his other tours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdw Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have Gordy being free from August 26th - September 1st on the August tour. I'm not sure what "free" means. Free from the AWA cards or other cards you have of his? Looking in both the Super Catalogue (which gives each tour for the major wrestlers) and a Japan Wrestling 40 magazine that list each promotion's series and the gaijin on it, Gordy didn't work in All Japan in this stretch. AJPW's series was 8/23 - 9/19 and he's not on it. His appearance on the May series is listed as his 4th, and the October as his 5th. I also have him free from May 13th to June 21st Series was 5/17 - 6/13 and he appears to have been on it start to finish. and October 1st to November 16th on his other tours. 10/4 - 10/31 series, and appears to have been on all of it. Riki's promotion ran 11/1- 11/7. It's not among Gordy's tours in the Super Catalogue. It is listed in the Japan Wrestling 40, which kind of breaks the kayfabe by including Riki's promotion within All Japan. Gordy is listed as one of three gaijin on the series, but unlike the others who have numbered bullets after their names to indicate which overall tour of theirs to Japan it's been, Gordy instead has some characters. When he's next back in Japan, the numbering picks up where the 10/4 - 10/31 left off: moving from the prior 5 to 6. Not sure what to make of that. When did the Birds debut in AWA, when were they done as "regulars", and how consistently were they on cards. Not really in the sense of a detailed date dump, but some date ranges. I wonder how much those two primary stretches of being gone in May-June and October impact the AWA's booking. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Free meant that he wasn't in the United States. The Birds debuted on AWA TV on April 7th, 1985 and the last match I have for them is January 10th, 1986 but they had come back to the World Class on December 9th, 1985 so they were working out the string.

khawk20 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Gordy's attendance was spotty at best. He no-showed matches with Martel for the title (one in Chicago had Buddy Roberts get the shot), and hayes ended up subbing for him in several matches against Blackwell IIRC. Gordy/hayes is the only combo that would have matched up with the LOD with any credibility, and with Gordy not reliable, they didn't take the chance. Are there any Gordy/Blackwell matches out there? I'd have to think they'd be a lock for the dvdvr set. Only one that I recall from a TV taping in St. Paul, and it didn't go very long before the other Birds did a run-in and beat down Blackwell. Not a good match, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khawk20 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Butch Reed left AWA due to drug issues from what I've heard and the fact that Verne wasn't the friendliest to black wrestlers. This reminds me of a Verne Gagne story Dave Meltzer told on his message board recently: They brought in Sgt. Slaughter who was super hot in WWF in 1984. Sarge was over at first, but something was missing and he was going down fast, but he had a great contract and had to keep getting pushed. Verne, who hated African-American wrestlers, was talked into bringing in Tony Atlas. On Atlas' debut in Minneapolis, he got twice the reaction of the fading Sarge, the biggest of any face on the show. Verne's reaction: "I tried, but the problem is, blacks can't get over in Minnesota." Whether or not the Verne part (his statement) is true, Atlas was indeed super-over in the AWA during his stay. Atlas and Jim Brunzell even got a non-title pinfall win in Winnipeg over the Road Warriors, which was nuts when you consider that Atlas and Brunzell were also booked in handicap tag matches against Bruiser Brody in that time frame, and Brody was made to look really good in those bouts. ...So Atlas/brunzell could beat the LOD but struggle with Brody on his own? Aiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdw Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 On Salt Lake City, I wonder if Dave lost a source in the state: Graham has five listings from July 24, 1984 to July 24, 1984 September 15, 1984 October 18, 1984 November 10, 1984 January 14, 1985 That's extremly regular. Those shows in three months gives the indication that they're running montly. Then there's nothing until January 15, 1986. A full year without listings. He has 5 listings for 1986, where they average an announced 9,363 with really only one bomb out of the four. There's not even loaded up shows: January 15, 1986: Valentine & Beefcake vs Bulldogs May 1, 1986: Savage vs Tito August 8, 1986: Battle Royal with middling talent October 11, 1986: Bulldogs vs Sheik & Volkoff November 23, 1986: Hogan vs Orndorff That doesn't look like them "coming back" into the city after being gone for a year. They draw well, they roll out Hogan only once. Suspect that there might be a lot of missing SLC cards in 1985, and perhaps some in 1987. Verne did seem to holdup in SLC for a while.

KrisZ Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Montreal was never in play by the other promotions, they took over in 1986 but the office would reopen under different management but flamed out not too long afterwards.

Johnny Sorrow Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 When I first moved out here to Colorado 4 years ago, I remember talking to a guy I work with about wrestling. I was wondering why, basically, it wasn't as hot here as it was back in Jersey. He had nothing but childhood memories of the AWA and according to him people lost interest in wrestling because the AWA was always advertising people to be on shows who weren't there come showtime. I remember him mentioning Brody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
