[1986-12-26-Houston Wrestling] Terry Gordy vs Steve Williams

[shoe]

Some major bomb throwing to start. They take it to the floor. This is one hell of a brawl. Doc stomping on Gordy's hand was a nice touch, and could possibly take the Oriental spike out of play. Plus it's a nice touch of the OMG breaking Gordy's arm. These guys are just putting a beatdown on one another. This is real physical stuff. Gordy working the back.The psychology of Gordy working over Doc's back was smart and added a lot to the brawl. Gordy working over the back takes out Doc's Oklahoma Stampede. I can't put over the physicality enough. Gordy again with the bear hug. The bear hug went a little long, and he could have done something a little more engaging. These guys have a great history with one another. Two big guys throwing hands is always a good thing. Gordy puts Doc into the guardrail. Gordy after the back. The back work is a good piece of story telling. I love how Gordy cuts off Williams by tossing him into post.I loved Doc's payback spots of putting Gordy into the guardrail a few times. This was a great brawl, with a deep psychology. This is Md-South wrestling. 4 1/4*

Good hoss fight, Williams was getting visibly better and better by this point. The brawl was on point, of course, but they also did good subtle things like Doc stepping on Gordy's hand repeatedly or Gordy working a long bearhug to make the shoulder blocks not that appealing. The ringisde stuff was a bit of a filler, but this was mostly very good, despite the usual crap finish as they just got tired of staying withing the rules and the referee threw the match out
