Global Wrestling Federation Vol. 86 from 1993

"It did no good to yell and scream. What we had to do was humiliate you, Akbar." - Tatum 

"It might be a flat tire tommorow, a shaved head, heck I may even go out with your sister, Gary Young." - Tatum

Terry Simms vs Nick Hernandez

Terry Simms

Simms won this one with a sunset flip. This was pretty basic stuff. Nothing really stand out here and Simms was definitely trying to do his best Hogan impersonation with the firing up. Rating:1/2*

"Now entering the ring, one of the largest tag teams to ever enter the Squared Circle." - Announcer

"The original Tugboat Taylor." - Announcer

Alex Porteau

Super Soakers!

Porteau and Summers either got DQ'd for using the guns or counted out. Either way, I don't care. This match stunk. Rating: DUD

Mike Davis wearing one shoe

Booker T and Stevie Ray

Mike Davis is listening to the turnbuckle, seriously.

The Ebony Experience - Booker T and Stevie Ray vs Mike Davis and Brian Henning

Brian Henning, a Mr. Perfect ripoff.

Booker T and Stevie Ray tried, but there was just too much wrestlecrap that needed to be flushed during this one. Thank God Harlem Heat was going onto better things. Rating:1/2*

Johnny Mantell vs Eddie Gilbert

Eddie Gilbert didn't make the show for whatever reason. Wild Bill Irwin then ran in.

Johnny Mantell vs Wild Bill Irwin
Mantell attacked Irwin last week during his match with Black Bart, which caused this.

This sucked. This was around 16 minutes long. It was slow and heatless and I had to fast forward. Rating: DUD

Overall thoughts: GWF 1991 = Good, GWF 1993 = Bad. Avoid this like the plague.

TV Title Tournament 2nd Round match from GWF Vol.91( GWF vol.91 TV Title Tournament )- Big Bully Busick vs Buddy Landell

"We got two different styles. The Powerhouse from Power House Hill and the Juke and Jiver from Jacksonville." - Craig

"A mug only a mother could love, but you said, she's not taking his phone calls." - Craig

Shawn O'Brien lays down the law!

"Shut yo mouth." - Buddy

Landell won this with a foot on the ropes. This was a great little match. Buddy was the best he's ever been in this so if you like Buddy, you have to see this pronto. I really enjoyed this mostly for the camera shots and Buddy's antics. Rating:***

Chris Walker vs Rip Rogers - I already reviewed this here:

TV Title Tournament - Semi-Finals - The Patriot vs Billy Black

Suicide Dive

The Patriot won with a flying tackle. This was very good but it should have went alot longer. A good teaser if you will. Rating:*3/4

Chris Walker vs Mahkan Singh

Singh got DQ'd here for using his turban to choke Walker. No real thoughts on this.

Buddy tries to cheat during the coin toss and gets caught. Then, they all got heads on the flip so they had to do it again. Landell gets tails on the third try and draws the bye into the finals.

GWF TV Title Tournament - Winner faces Landell for the TV title - The Patriot vs Chris Walker

Patriot won here afte Landell pushed Walker off the ropes. Since this was face against face, they worked a long and sloe technical style that wasn't very interesting at all. Rating: DUD

Landell then came in to get some cheapshots on the Patriot's injured shoulder and to start the match early.

GWF TV Title Tournament Final: Buddy Landell vs The Patriot

EYEPOKE

"You shut your mouth." - Buddy

Patriot won this good one with a roll-up. Landell was really awesome here, doing Flair's schtick to a T. It's a shame Landell came too late and was his own worst enemy, as this was top level stuff he was doing. Rating:***

Overall thoughts: The coin-flip took forever and the Walker/Patriot match stunk but I'd recommend it for the Buddy Landell stuff. This was truly the Buddy show and if you like him, you need to see it.
