Universal Wrestling Federation 6/1/1987 - UWF Title - The One Man Gang vs Big Bubba Rogers

UWF 6/1/1987 - UWF Title - The One Man Gang vs Big Bubba Rogers
















Big Bubba Rogers got the win with a top rope splash. Great match. They started out with testing each other through shoulder block collisions to see who could move the other and then Bubba took a fall into the corner and outside. He made a nice comeback and they basically traded blows until near the end when Gang missed a middle rope splash and Bubba made the comeback. Bubba threw excellent punches and both men were thrilled to bump around and sell big for the other guy. The crowd was hot and Bubba's fiery comebacks were really great. There was some clipping here but this is what you wish all big men matches could be like and these guys would have gotten over huge today. Rating:***1/2

World Class Championship Wrestling 5/16/1986 - Bruiser Brody and Lance Von Erich vs The One Man Gang and Rick Rude

World Class Championship Wrestling 5/16/1986 - Bruiser Brody and Lance Von Erich vs The One Man Gang and Rick Rude

















The finish

Bruiser Brody beat the One Man Gang after Lance Von Erich dropkicked him leading to a pin in under 9 minutes. Pretty average match by all means likely due to the time they had. Not a true focus here. They swapped and exchanged early on and the heels spent most of the match beating up on Brody, but they made it clear that Brody and the Gang were pretty much equals. Lots of really basic stuff here and not many highlights. The finish was even a bit random.
