[1986-09-05-Houston Wrestling] The Fantastics vs Sting & Eddie Gilbert

[shoe]

The Fantastics have really come across as key components here in Houston. They can be formulatic at times, though I haven't seen a bad or lazy performance. Heels begging off to start. Loved Sting backing into a Tommy Rogers punch. Love seeing Sting heeling it up. It feels like a different world. I love the visual of Fulton and Sting being nose to nose. I'm enjoying the stalling and bull shit early on. I'm enjoying the Fantastics shine. They are making the most of all these moments.Fulton especially is good at milking the moments. Love how they are working with Sting here. Watching Tommy Rogers positon Sting for spots is amazing. Fulton putting himself in holds for Sting to catch his wind is amazing. Now it's time for the heat, and I love Fulton's bump to set up the arm work. It also adds to the 2 out of 3 story of Gilbert working Fulton's arm. Eddie is great at causing misdirection in the match. Love the dbl team cut offs by the heels. Love the miscommunication spot to set up the comeback. I thought some of the sloppiness added to the match. I liked how the titles were held up to set up the 2 out of 3 falls stip. 3 1/4*

9/9/86 was a Tuesday.   This should be 9/5.   Did they change the shows to Sundays in 1986?
