Carlos Colon vs Abdullah The Butcher - WWC 9/20/86 WWC Universal Title Semifinals

You Cant say I haven’t given Colon vs Abby a fair shot. In my opinion, this is probably the most famous shows WWC ever did as they load up their Universal Title tournament with famous wrestlers from mainland to create one of the most star studded tournaments of all time. It is all a part of their 1986 Anniversary show. I randomly watched Funk vs Martel years ago and have always meant to watch the whole tournament. This feud has been raging all year and goes back to the 1985 Anniversary show a year ago. This is the semifinals winner faces Funk. They bring in Stan Hansen to kick off the famous feud with Colon next month meaning we get a break from Colon & Abby.

Pretty middle of the road Colon vs Abby match. Not as boring as the June one but nowhere as heated as the Spring one. Abby jabs Colon with a fork and he works a pretty basic heat segment the usual Abby offense. Colon sells better than him so it is more interesting. Abby hits a couple elbow drops and clothesline. Colon comes back with punches. ROUNDOFF~! It is come back time. Colon works a spirited come back. Punching Abby until he bleeds. Head butts TOE TOUCH! Ball shot! Leg drops! Gary Hart gives Abby a foreign object. Colon fights through it. Monkey Flip. Suplex. Hits Abby with the foreign object for the win! Abby attacks with Gary Harts crutch but the babyfaces save. Solid match nothing you have to see but inoffensive. ***
