Fantastics & Terry Taylor vs Sheepherders & Jack Victory, 5/25/86 (Barbed Wire Cage – JIP –

ended up getting ill from it. Ick.)

Hacksaw Duggan vs Terry Gordy, 5/30/86 (JIP – Gordy wins UWF title tourney finals – One Man

before missing his splash and Dibiase getting a quick pin)
Leroy Brown & Bill Irwin vs Chavo Guerrero & Iceman Parsons (TV time runs out)
UWF TV #56 – 1/17/87 (Another of the Barnett broadcast masters for the UWF. Just your typical
excellent episode of TV with lots of stuff going on. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)

Missing Link & Iceman Parsons vs Jack Victory & Ken Massey
Ted Dibiase vs One Man Gang, 1/10/87
One Man Gang vs Bobby Perez
Interview w/Terry Gordy (They do this in an empty arena and it’s a much calmer, more “normal”
style for Terry Gordy. Pretty cool.)
Hacksaw Duggan & Terry Taylor vs Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts (No match – Devastation Inc
attack Duggan & Taylor before the match, until Williams & Dibiase run off the Freebirds.
This leaves Duggan & Taylor unable to defend their tag titles, causing Michael Hayes on
commentary to rightfully go nuts when the titles aren’t forfeited to the Freebirds like
the UWF title was to One Man Gang when Gordy couldn’t defend. I always hated seeing heels
get screwed like this when I was a kid. Fair is fair, guys!)
UWF Top 10
Sting & Rick Steiner vs Gary Young & Jeff Raitz (the finish here is Steiner slingshotting
Sting into a splash on Raitz. Problem is, they butcher it and Sting lands headfirst on
Raitz. Looks really nasty. Truly a miracle neither guy was injured.)
Michael Hayes vs Savannah Jack (No match – the Freebirds triple-team Jack and Hayes steals
the UWF TV title belt)
Missy Hyatt vs Dark Journey (No match – Hyatt forfeits the match because of “injury” then
Sting/Steiner/Gilbert attack DJ. DJ gets away, though, and KOs Hyatt with her purse.)

UWF TV – 1/17/87 (Another great, full episode of this show. I’ve got a master convert, VQ is EX)

Dark Journey KOs Missy Hyatt, UWF TV, 1/17/87
Chavo Guerrero vs Art Crews
Eli the Eliminator vs Jeff Gaylord
Interview w/Skandor Akbar
Video Feature: The Freebirds (The ‘birds created their own video to document how the UWF had
screwed them out of the UWF titles. When Gordy was injured and couldn’t wrestle, they gave
his title to One Man Gang. But when Duggan & Taylor were injured, they weren’t forced to
forfeit their titles. I’m with the Freebirds – this was BS!)
Savannah Jack vs Ken Massey
Ted Dibiase vs Mike George (Dibiase uses his black glove to KO George then uses it on One Man
Gang when he runs in)
Interview w/the Freebirds
UWF TV – 1/31/87 (Another excellent show from the heyday of the UWF. I’ve got a master convert

Sting & Rick Steiner vs Jeff Gaylord & Jeff Raitz
UWF Top 10

of a hot crowd)

One Man Gang vs Gary Young, UWF TV, 1/31/87 (JIP)
Iceman Parsons vs Ken Massey
Freebirds vs Steve Williams & the Fantastics, UWF TV, 1/31/87 (Conclusion from last week)
Angel of Death vs Johnny West
Savannah Jack vs Jack Victory
Announcement of UWF Tag Tourney Seedings (They spend a lot of time talking about the tag
tournament as if it’s weeks away, yet they repeatedly say the date – 2/7/87, THE DAY THIS
SHOW WAS BROADCAST IN MOST MARKETS. WTF.)
Fantastics vs Sting & Eddie Gilbert (Steiner runs in & KOs Fulton w/Missy’s Gucci bag)
Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy vs Steve Williams & Ted Dibiase, Houston, 1/9/87 (Badstreet
Match – JIP – match kind of just stops when Terry Gordy brings a chair into the ring and
lays out Williams, Dibiase, and the ref with big chairshots. Hayes looks at Gordy like he
has gone mad then cheers him. Great stuff!)
Terry Taylor vs Art Crews

UWF TV #60 – 2/14/87 (Another of the Barnett broadcast masters for the UWF. Just your typical
excellent episode of TV with lots of stuff going on. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)
Fantastics vs Sting & Eddie Gilbert, 2/7/87 (Finish)
Iceman Parsons & Chavo Guerrero vs Mike George & Art Crews
Terry Taylor vs Gary Young (Taylor is just starting to hint at showing the mannerisms here of
a frustrated heel as he seems unable to keep up with Young in this scientific matchup)
Video Feature: Mismatches
One Man Gang vs Johnny West (Dibiase, Williams & Taylor all come out after the match and run
off Devastation Inc)
UWF Top 10
Super Ninja vs Jeff Raitz
Sting vs Bobby Walker

Michael Hayes & Bill Watts introducing the Penalty Box matches
Chris Adams vs Mike Boyette
Steve Williams Introducing Steve Cox
Steve Williams vs Mike George
Ted Dibiase vs One Man Gang (Steve Cox is still at ringside and counts the pin for Dibiase
when the ref gets KO’ed; this pisses off Devastation Inc)
Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts vs Gary Young & Jeff Raitz
Skandor Akbar challenges Steve Cox leading to…
Bill Irwin & Eli the Eliminator double-teaming Steve Cox
Eddie Gilbert vs Ken Massey
Chavo Guerrero vs Rick Steiner (They tease having the TV time run out here but the match ends
while the credits roll instead)
UWF TV #62 – 2/28/87 (Another of the Barnett broadcast masters for the UWF. Just your typical
excellent episode of TV with lots of stuff going on. This is way more complete than the
version released by UWA as it has all the tag tourney highlights intact. I’ve got a master
convert so VQ is EX.)
Chavo Guerrero vs Rick Steiner, UWF TV, 2/21/87
Michael Hayes & Sunshine locking Dark Journey in a cage (Sunshine makes sure to get in a
racial crack by calling Dark Journey “a two-tone Cadillac”)

Terry Gordy & Angel of Death vs Terry Taylor & Sam Houston, 2/7/87 (1st Rd – clips – finish

Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts vs Chris Adams & Iceman Parsons, 2/7/87 (1st Rd – clips)
Steve Williams & Ted Dibiase vs Chris Adams & Iceman Parsons, 2/7/87 (2nd Rd – clips –
Devastation Inc comes out and attacks Williams & Dibiase. Adams wants to help but Parsons
holds him back so they can get a countout win and advance. Adams DOES help but they get
the countout anyway. This is the start of Parsons’ heel turn – well-done, I say.)
Sting & Rick Steiner vs Terry Taylor & Sam Houston, 2/7/87 (2nd Rd – clips)
Iceman Parsons attacking Savannah Jack, 2/7/87 (Adams & Parsons have now split up and a coin
toss has determined that Adams will continue on with the partner of his choosing. He picks
Savannah Jack, who comes out to the ring to try and convince Parsons to make up with Adams.
Parsons agrees then attacks Jack, injuring him so HE can’t continue.)

Ted Dibiase vs One Man Gang, UWF TV, 2/21/87 (Finish – Steve Cox counts the pin)
UWF TV VOL 9 – 2/28/87 (Next volume in the series of volumes released by Universal Wrestling.
Unfortunately, they skipped a bunch of episodes. This one also isn’t complete, as all the
video features and highlights are missing – but it IS raw so you get extended ring entrances
and exits. You also get Jim Ross screwing up and swearing. I’ve got a DVD master so VQ is
EX.)
Interview w/Dark Journey Re: Penalty Box Match (Hayes & Sunshine come out to confront DJ and
attack her. After Missing Link saves, we see the crew rebuilding the set.)
Angel of Death & Mike George vs Terry Taylor & Chris Adams
Bill Irwin & Eli the Eliminator vs Ken Massey & Jeff Raitz
Steve Cox vs Mike Boyette (Cox’s professional debut)
Rick Steiner vs Sam Houston (Sam debuts in the UWF with a clean pin on Steiner)

UWF TV VOL 9 – POWER PRO WRAPAROUNDS (Interesting piece here as we get Jim Ross doing intro
wraparounds for video clips for an episode of Power Pro Wrestling. Watch how fast he cranks
out an entire episode. I’ve got a DVD master so quality is EX.)

UWF TV VOL 9 – DARK MATCHES (From the same TV tapings as above, we get two matches – sort of –
without commentary. Cool! I’ve got a DVD master so quality is EX.)
Terry Taylor & Missing Link vs Michael Hayes & Buddy Roberts
Steve Williams vs Terry Gordy (Texas Death – Intros Only! BOOOOOOO.)

UWF TV #63 – 3/7/87 (Another of the Barnett broadcast masters for the UWF. Just your typical
excellent episode of TV with lots of stuff going on. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)
Michael Hayes & Sunshine putting Dark Journey in a cage, UWF, 2/28/87
Sam Houston vs Ken Massey
Wild Bill Irwin & Eli the Eliminator vs Ted Dibiase & Iceman Parsons (With Parsons’ attitude
change, Dibiase decides to wait until they’re in the ring to ask Parsons if he’s gonna
stick by him. Bill Watts on commentary rightfully points out how moronic this is by
Dibiase. Parsons is miffed at the accusation then walks out. Dibiase gets double-teamed,
leading to…)
Will Bill Irwin & Eli the Eliminator vs Ted Dibiase & Steve Cox
Interview w/Don Walton Re: Dallas Times-Herald UWF posters
Interview w/Iceman Parsons (He’s got a “jailbird” t-shirt for Chris Adams and a package of
Oreo cookies for Savannah Jack.)
UWF Top 10
Buddy Roberts vs Bobby Perez
Interview w/Dark Journey (Michael Hayes, Buddy Roberts & Sunshine all come out – why the hell
would Dark Journey go ANYWHERE alone after all the times she’d been attacked?!?! – and
attack her and try to get her with a jar of hair cream. Missing Link comes out and saves
her and DJ KOs Sunshine and tries to use the cream on her, taking FOOOOORRRREEEEVER to open
it. Missy Hyatt, however, comes out and KOs her instead and steals the jar.)
Steve Cox vs Kenny Johnson
Terry Taylor & Chris Adams vs Eddie Gilbert & Mike Boyette (Sting is injured so Eddie needs a
new partner. He chooses Mike Boyette, he of the winless record, for a tryout. Iceman
Parsons comes out and asks to be Eddie’s partner instead but he gets taken to the back.)

UWF TV #64 – 3/14/87 (Another of the Barnett broadcast masters for the UWF. Just your typical
excellent episode of TV with lots of stuff going on. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)

is excellent as well. I’ve got a DVD master so quality is EX.)
Savannah Jack vs Mike Boyette, 3/14/87 (Finish Only – Iceman Parsons comes out and taunts
Jack with a package of Oreos)
Ted Dibiase & Sam Houston vs Terry Taylor & Chris Adams (Excellent face vs face match. They
don’t do the lame “oh, we’ll exchange weak armbars for 10 minutes” thing here. This is
hard-hitting with double-teaming, etc. Very fast pace too.)
Video Feature: UWF Training Center (wonder if they ever got any students?)
Iceman Parsons vs Ken Massey
Interview w/Ted Dibiase (Mentioned here only because Dibiase repeats the lie that he was an
Intercontinental champion. Probably easier than explaining that he was North American
champion in two different federations…)
Eddie Gilbert vs Savannah Jack (Iceman Parsons comes out and KOs Jack with an ether-soaked
towel; Gilbert wins UWF TV Title)
Steve Cox vs The Super Ninja
Chavo Guerrero & Missing Link vs Mike Boyette & Red Shadow (Dark Journey is injured, so Chavo
and Link need a temporary valet. They come out with Baby Doll! Err..make that “Nicola”.)
Bill Irwin & The Viking vs Bobby Perez & Jeff Raitz
Interview w/Chris Adams & Terry Taylor
UWF TV – 3/28/87 (Another tough-to-find complete episode of the UWF. Great stuff here, as
always. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)
Skandor Akbar challenging Michael Hayes, PPW, 3/21/87 (brief clips)
Gary Young vs Mike Boyette (Scary moment as Boyette gets legit KO’ed by an arm drag from
Young. He lands directly on his head and is KO’ed instantly. Young sees it, quickly gets
the pin, and leaves. They actually acknowledge the injury and show him being looked at by
UWF officials – who do NOT try to move him – and you can later hear cheers as Boyette
gets carried out.)
Eddie Gilbert vs Savannah Jack, UWF TV, 3/21/87 (JIP – Iceman Parsons runs in and KOs Jack
with ether so Gilbert wins the UWF TV title)
Ken Mantell ordering Gilbert/Jack rematch (The UWF doesn’t use video replays to overturn match
results so he orders a rematch instead.)
Steve Williams & Terry Gordy video “Over the Top” (they must have contracted out this video –
it’s way better and more polished than anything Joel Watts ever did)
Skandor Akbar challenging Michael Hayes, PPW, 3/21/87 (Full version – Akbar says he’s got a
new protege and challenges Hayes to bring forth his protégé. Hayes quickly accepts on
behalf of Angel of Death, leading to…)
Angel of Death vs Super Ninja (No match – before the match can start, Angel of Death attacks
Hayes from behind and Hayes gets destroyed by Devastation Inc.)
Sam Houston vs The Red Shadow
Chris Adams & Terry Taylor vs Angel of Death & Bill Irwin (They pull a rarity here and end the
match during the commercial break. Then, instead of showing the finish as they promised,
we get an angle instead as the Freebirds run in and attack Angel & Irwin. Way to screw
your fans, Bill.)

UWF TV – 4/4/87 (More of the same as above. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)
Clip of “Badstreet” music video
Re-cap of Chris Adams asking for more time for tag title defense (Terry Taylor is late
arriving so Adams asks for their defense to be delayed. This is the start of Taylor’s
eventual heel turn.)
2-Ring Battle Royal from Houston (Finish Only – Chavo Guerrero & Gary Young are the last two
left; Chavo offers to split the $$$ with Young but Young refuses. After Chavo pins him to
win the money, Young turns heel by attacking Guerrero with a chair and stealing the $$$)
Gary Young vs George Weingeroff (Weingeroff would go on to fight in Pancrase. WTF?)
Chris Adams vs Sting & Iceman Parsons (Taylor doesn’t show so Adams goes it alone. He gets
pounded and the ref seems ready to stop the match when Taylor shows up in dress clothes
and attacks Sting & Parsons with a metal suitcase to earn a DQ.)
Video Feature: Catfights
Video Feature: UWF Training Center
Interview w/Terry Gordy (Gordy has “cut short his trip to Japan” to come back and beat up
Devastation Inc and he’s just not gonna rest until he does. He manhandles Bruce Prichard
before finally leaving.)

Eddie Gilbert vs Savannah Jack (Iceman Parsons runs in and hangs Jack)

a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Clip of Gary Young turning on Chavo Guerrero
Terry Taylor & Chris Adams vs Mike George & Mike Boyette (Adams works the entire match before
KO’ing Boyette with a superkick. Taylor insists on getting tagged in, so he comes in and
hits a kneedrop before scoring the pin. Again, more build to Taylor’s heel turn…)
Full recap of Gary Young turning on Chavo Guerrero
Chavo Guerrero music video “Conga”
Chavo Guerrero vs Super Ninja
Interview w/Sam Houston Re: Wanting the UWF TV Title
Interview w/Hot Stuff International (Eddie Gilbert wants to be accepted as a real TV champion
so he issues a challenge to anyone who wants a title shot. Ken Mantell comes out and gets
Gilbert to agree to defend against “anyone in the top 10” – and to let Mantell pick the
challenger. So Mantell picks….Gilbert’s stablemate Sting! Oh yeah, check out the
turnbuckles behind Gilbert here – they’ve got NWA logos on them, despite neither Mid-South
nor the UWF ever belonging to the NWA.)
Steve Cox vs Red Shadow
Terry Gordy destroying two jobbers, 4/4/87
Terry Gordy vs The Viking (Gordy gets his promised match vs “someone from Devastation” here.
Watts & co. obviously put a lot of work into this clown’s gimmick. His “Viking costume”
consists of two pieces of LEOPARD-PRINT material sewn to regular black trunks. Looks even
more lame than it sounds. Gordy completely squashes him here.)
Eddie Gilbert vs Sting (Sting gets a big face pop when he comes out – but then walks out and
takes a countout loss rather than facing his mentor.)
Eddie Gilbert vs Sam Houston (Houston comes out and challenges Gilbert and scores the pin!)
One Man Gang, Angel of Death & Bill Irwin vs Jeff Raitz, ??? & ???

UWF TV – 4/11/87 (Another complete episode of UWF TV. Great stuff! I’ve got a master

UWF TV – 4/18/87 (Another full episode of UWF. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX)
Buzz Sawyer vs Ken Massey & Jeff Raitz
One Man Gang vs Eddie Gilbert (No match – Gilbert’s supposed to challenge for the UWF World
title, much to the delight of Jim Ross who can’t wait to see him destroyed, only he claims
an “injury” that needs 24 hours to heal. Unfortunately, it’s only been 22 hours so he’s
not cleared to wrestle. LOL at the 22 hours thing but terrible to screw the fans out of a
world title match.)
Steve Williams & Steve Cox vs Bill Irwin & Angel of Death (Gordy & Roberts come out and attack
One Man Gang & Akbar at ringside, so we get a huge brawl)
Chavo Guerrero vs Mike Boyette
Chris Adams & Terry Taylor vs Sting & Iceman Parsons, UWF TV, 4/4/87 (JIP – Taylor’s late so
Adams flies solo until Terry comes in with a metal suitcase for the DQ)
Sunshine ragging on other valets (Missy Hyatt comes out to agree with her, then Baby Doll
comes out to confront them. Sunshine KOs Baby Doll with Hyatt’s purse who then runs off
when Dark Journey comes out.)
Savannah Jack vs Gary Young (Steiner, Sting, Gilbert & Iceman all run in and handcuff Jack
and whip him with a belt. And they REALLY lay into him.)
One Man Gang vs Buzz Sawyer (To make up for the screwjob of the world title match above,
Skandor Akbar has promised to have OMG defend against anybody Dark Journey can find. When
she comes out with Sawyer, however, Akbar says he’s not a valid contender and not in the
top 10 so we get screwed out of a match again. Way to hate your fans, Bill. I can hardly
imagine why you’d be out of the business in less than a month.)

UWF TV VOL 11 – 4/25/87 (More of the volumes released by Universal Wrestling. Full, as-broadcast
episode but they again skipped a week. BOOO. I’ve got a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Buzz Sawyer vs Mike Boyette
Chavo Guerrero vs Mike Boyette, 4/18/87 (JIP – Gary Young comes out with what appears to be
Chavo’s check that Young stole; Chavo beats him up, turns out to be an empty envelope)
Terry Taylor vs Gary Young (Sting & Rick Steiner run in)
Chris Adams doing a public service announcement (They continue to get sympathetic mileage out
of Adams being a felon – here he gets beat up whild doing a PSA about alcohol)
Steve Williams vs Super Ninja
Interview w/Sunshine, 4/18/87 (She rips on other valets in the UWF & Missy Hyatt comes out to
join in the fun. They get interrupted by Baby Doll, err Nicola, who goes after Missy.
Sunshine uses Missy’s purse to KO her then gives her a nice facial mat burn smile.gif
Gary Young vs Savannah Jack, 4/18/87 (JIP – all of Hot Stuff International runs in and then
they beat the crap out of Jack with a strap. OUCH.)
Steve Williams & Steve Cox vs Bill Irwin & Angel of Death, 4/18/87 (JIP – Gordy & Roberts run
in and Roberts ends up getting destroyed, “spitting up blood”).
Interview w/Ken Mantell
Eddie Gilbert vs Sam Houston (Gilbert KOs the ref to save his TV title)

Chris Adams vs Angel of Death (Intros only – TV time runs out)

UWF TV VOL 12 – 5/2/87 (More of the same as above. This is an historic episode as it’s the first
episode of UWF TV produced after Jim Crockett purchased the UWF. The changes are immediately
obvious – a lousy commissioner, an out-of-nowhere title change, a JCP-style taping with the
announcers at ringside, etc. I’ve got a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
John Ayers Introduced as UWF Commissioner (Leave it to Crockett to pick a STILL-ACTIVE NFL
PLAYER WHO CAN’T SPEAK WELL to be the commissioner of the UWF. Good grief was this dumb)
One Man Gang vs Big Bubba Rogers (Bubba wins UWF title – this title change never made any
sense. Yeah, it was a shock, but so what? Bubba wasn’t seen as a legit world title guy
in JCP and here they have him come in and beat OMG. Dumb, dumb, dumb.)
Interview w/Terry Taylor & Chris Adams Re: title loss & a bit of arguing (this is actually
shown during a break during the above match)
Terry Taylor & Chris Adams vs Sting & Rick Steiner, 4/12/87 (Finish – Sting & Steiner win
UWF tag titles)
Terry Taylor & Chris Adams vs Bob Bradley & Red Devil
Interview w/Terry Taylor & Chris Adams (Adams still wants to talk about their title loss but
Taylor wants to move on. He ends the interview by telling Adams that he wants to leave
their team and works singles – and then walks off. And the Taylor heel turn slowly rolls
forward…)
Steve Cox vs Super Ninja
Gary Young vs Jeff Raitz, Power Pro, 4/18/87 (JIP – the ref gets bumped, then Young elbows the
ref to KO him. He then hits Raitz from the top rope – which is illegal. Chavo Guerrero
runs in and KOs Young, allowing Raitz to score the big upset!)
Chavo Guerrero vs Super Ninja, Power Pro, 4/25/87 (JIP – the ref gets bumped and now it’s
Gary Young’s turn to interfere. Only this time it backfires and Chavo still wins!)
Chavo Guerrero vs Mike Boyette
Interview w/Eddie Gilbert Re: Big Bubba’s title win & joining Skandor Akbar (This gives away
that Bubba had joined Akbar which hasn’t yet been revealed…)
Sting & Rick Steiner vs Jeff Raitz & Mike Reed
Ad for the UWF Training Center
Interview w/Skandor Akbar Re: Bubba joining and kicking out OMG

UWF TV VOL 12 – 5/9/87 (Next in the series of volumes released by Universal. Great stuff here
even with the change in ownership to JCP. I’ve got a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Iceman Parsons vs Jeff Raitz
Magnum TA vs Mr. Wrestling II, 5/13/84 (Finish – Magnum TA wins North American title; they’ve
brought Magnum back to do commentary on the UWF shows. To hype that, we get his biggest
win ever in Mid-South. Magnum is only 6 months removed from his car wreck and it’s only
been days since his Crockett Cup appearance.)
Terry Taylor vs Chris Adams (Excellent, clean match between the two former partners. Taylor
gets counted out after going outside the ring to assist – nicely – Adams back into the
ring.)
Interview w/Skandor Akbar & Big Bubba, 5/2/87
Big Bubba Rogers vs Steve Cox (Bubba KOs Cox with a kick to the head so Steve Williams comes
out and stares down Bubba before carrying Cox out of the ring.)
Interview w/Chris Adams (Adams is unhappy with the way he won earlier so he asks that the
match result be thrown out and that he & Taylor be given a rematch. Taylor comes out and
says he likes that idea and agrees to the match.)
Angel of Death vs Mike Reed
Steve Williams vs Bill Irwin

UWF TV VOL 12 – 5/16/87 (More of the same as above – I’ve got a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Barry Windham vs Bob Bradley (The influx of JCP talent continues here with Barry…)
Interview w/Barry Windham (Magnum TA does this one, calling Barry “the man who chases World
Champions”. Yep, he CHASES them alright – he just never catches them. HAHAHAHAHA.)
Interview w/Steve Williams & Ted Dibiase (Some woman does this interview – she starts it by
saying “Hi, I’m Toni” and then basically says nothing else.)
Interview w/Skandor Akbar & Big Bubba Rogers
Vladimir Pietrov vs Bobby Howell
Terry Taylor vs Chris Adams (Another excellent match between the two. This time, there’s a
lot more tension with some actual fisticuffs exchanged. After a ridiculous ref bump that
sees Carl Fergie intentionally run in-between the two, Adams is knocked to the floor.
Taylor goes out to the floor, apparently to help Adams back into the ring, just like the
previous week. Only this time, Taylor completes his heel turn by kicking Adams in the
stomach and then piledriving him on the floor! Adams is counted out and Taylor is
unrepentant. Says he’s on his own now, looking for wins however they come. Eddie Gilbert
then comes out and offers to manage Taylor – Taylor declines. They do this all really well
and ALMOST make you sympathetic for Taylor.)

UWF TV VOL 13 – 5/23/87 (Next in the series of UWF episodes released by Universal. I’ve got a
DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Terry Taylor vs Chris Adams, 5/16/87 (Finish only – Taylor’s heel turn)
Sting & Rick Steiner vs Glassman & Bobby Howell
Re-cap of the Taylor/Adams “situation” (At this point, Taylor is still a semi-sympathetic heel
with some fans siding with his actions)
Interview w/Eddie Gilbert & Terry Taylor (they again give away an angle that hasn’t been shown
yet by running this interview. On the show, Taylor is still ignoring Gilbert’s requests to
be his manager – so why are they being interviewed together?)
Interview w/JJ Dillon Re: the Four Horsemen, Jim Crockett Promotions, the NWA, etc
Barry Windham vs Mike Boyette
Interview w/Dusty Rhodes (and the JCP invasion is in full swing…)
Iceman Parsons vs Steve Cox (They have Cox go to a 10-minute draw here but he’s so green and
out-of-shape that they have to SHAVE TIME to get him to 10 minutes. LOL.)
Big Bubba Rogers vs Ron Ellis
Interview w/Skandor Akbar
UWF Top 10 (LOL – John Ayres puts Terry Gordy at #4 in the rankings, saying “he’ll make a
great singles wrestler”. Gee John, ya think? He was only the FIRST UWF CHAMPION.)
Interview w/Ted Dibiase & Steve Williams (They’re ranked #1 and #2 in the top 10 and are told
they’ll be facing each other “next month”. Dibiase is NOT happy about being #2 and that he
isn’t getting a title shot. This is Dibiase’s last UWF appearance – see below)
Terry Taylor vs Jeff Raitz
Interview w/Eddie Gilbert (Eddie’s understandably upset at being ranked #3 despite being the
TV champ so he challenges Williams or Dibiase to a match)
Vladimar Pietrov vs Ken Massey
Interview w/Steve Williams (he happily accepts Gilbert’s challenge)

UWF TV VOL 13 – 5/30/87 (More of the same as above. I’ve got a DVD master so VQ is EX.)
Interview w/Skandor Akbar & Big Bubba Rogers
Freebirds video “Badstreet”
UWF Top 10 (Actually announced during the match below – Ted Dibiase is no longer in the top 10
at all. JR says only he “apparently didn’t want his match with Steve Williams”.)
Steve Williams vs Eddie Gilbert (Gilbert lets himself get pinned but holds Williams down so
Dick Murdoch can come in and destroy him with a chair. They then break his arm and beat
the crap out of a bunch of jobbers too. Excellent match before the angle, too.)
Barry Windham vs Red Devil
Interview w/Barry Windham Re: Williams’ broken arm
Terry Taylor vs Davey Haskins (Taylor shows his new vicious by pounding Haskins into a bloody
mess before pinning him. He continues the beating and gets DQ’ed for it. Look for ref
Tommy Gilbert blading Haskins.)
Interview w/Terry Taylor
UWF TV VOL 14 – 6/6/87 (More in the series of UWF shows released by Universal. I’ve got a DVD
master so VQ is EX.)
Barry Windham vs Ron Ellis
Interview w/Skandor Akbar & Big Bubba Rogers
Freebirds video “Badstreet”
Sting & Rick Steiner vs Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner (Eddie Gilbert accidentally KOs Sting,
causing Armstrong & Horner to win the UWF tag titles. This is the start of Sting’s face
turn.)
Freebirds video “The Boys Are Back in Town” (this is actually shown during the above match)
Terry Taylor vs Steve Cox, Power Pro, 5/30/87 (Finish only – Cox wins a reversed decision
when Taylor refuses to break his figure four)
Interview w/Terry Taylor, Power Pro, 5/30/87 (Taylor again rejects Gilbert’s manager offer)
Interview w/Dick Murdoch & Eddie Gilbert (same interview as shown 5/30/87)
Interview w/Terry Taylor Re: Commissioner John Ayres
Interview w/John Ayres (He calls Terry Taylor back to ringside and then chews him out for his
recent actions and threatens him. He does this painfully awkward loosening of his tie
WAY before anything gets heated and it just looks completely out-of-place and ridiculous.
Then Eddie Gilbert comes out and he gets threatened too. They back away like Ayres is
some kind of legit badass or something.)

UWF TV VOL 14 – 6/13/87 (More in the series of UWF shows released by Universal. I’ve got a DVD
master so VQ is EX.)
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Bob Bradley & Ron Ellis
Interview w/Armstrong & Horner
JR & Magnum TA Doing Match Hype (I mention this only because they are doing the standard hype
for the upcoming parts of the show and this kid walks up WHILE THEY’RE TALKING and sticks
an autograph book in their faces to get a signature. JR’s cool though – he brushes the kid
off without even looking or breaking stride.)
Terry Taylor vs Sting (Eddie Gilbert is supposed to be the referee but Sting turns face by
blaming Gilbert for the loss of the tag belts the previous week. He demands – and gets –
another referee. Taylor ends up using a boot from Gilbert, who stays at ringside, to KO
Sting and then the two double-team him until Chris Adams makes the save. Sting is now a
face and a future superstar is born!)
Dusty Rhodes video “Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover”
Ric Flair video “Also Sprach Zarathustra”
Interview w/Steve Williams at doctor’s office re: broken arm
Black Bart vs Bobby Howell
Dick Murdoch vs Steve Cox
Interview w/Eddie Gilbert & Dick Murdoch
Interview w/Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy (They’re back as major players in the UWF, only now
they’re faces? WTF?)
Michael Hayes & Terry Gordy vs Angel of Death & Mike Boyette (After a very brief name change
that came out of nowhere, Angel Muhammad is now back to being Angel of Death. He then
walks out on his partner, leaving Boyette to get destroyed.)
Interview w/Shaska Whatley & the Enforcers

UWF TV – 6/20/87 (Still fairly early in the JCP-era of the UWF, this isn’t bad. Still, you can
see the influences – short squashes, interviews at ringside, etc. I’ve got a master convert
so VQ is EX.)
Dick Murdoch vs Jeff Raitz (JIP – the broadcast starts with this match in-progress)
Pez Whatley & the Enforcers vs Bobby Howell, Hank Wilburn & Ken Massey (WTF? Nobody wants to
see this crap, not even the families of those involved)
Chris Adams vs Mike Boyette
Interview w/Chris Adams (Sting comes out, so Adams jumps in the ring and asks him whose side
he’s on – Adams’ or Eddie Gilbert’s. Gilbert & Rick Steiner come out to attack Adams but
Sting helps him. This is Sting’s face turn!)
Bubba Rogers vs Craig Whitford
Tony Schiavone interviewing Steve Williams at the gym (he’s got a “broken forearm” but he’s
doing pec exercises where all the pressure is directly on his forearm. Yeah, that’s
realistic. The incredibly over-the-top push of Williams to the UWF title is in full
force throughout this episode.)
Sting vs Ron Ellis
Chavo Guerrero vs Rick Steiner
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Gary Young & Bob Bradley (We’re promised at the top of the show
that the Lightning Express will be defending the UWF tag titles. And they do – against
Young & Bradley. Really? C’mon.)
Terry Taylor announces he’s signing with Eddie Gilbert
Terry Taylor & Eddie Gilbert vs Steve Cox & Davey Haskins (Taylor refuses to break the
figure-four so Chris Adams comes out, then we get Sting, Steiner, Murdoch, etc, run ins)

UWF TV – 7/25/87 (More of the same as above, only a much better episode. I’ve got a master
convert so VQ is EX.)
Steve Williams vs Bubba Rogers, 7/11/87 (Finish only – Williams, in the least-surprising
match result of all-time, wins the UWF World title in his adopted hometown of Norman, OK.
Did anybody REALLY think he wouldn’t win the title here after a massive push? Yeah, sure.)
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Angel of Death & the Terminator, 6/25/87 (Only the post-match
brawl is shown, with Tim Horner getting the claw from the Terminator)
Freebirds vs Pez Whatley, Angel of Death & the Terminator, 6/24/87 (this time it’s Hayes’
turn to take the claw from the Terminator)
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs The Terminator & Gary Young (The Terminator loads up his glove
for his claw but Terry Gordy runs in and KOs him instead, allowing Horner score a pin.)
Ad for the Buzz & Brett Sawyer Wrestling School (Shown during the above match – when you know
that Buzz ripped people off and was a lousy trainer, you have a whole different view of
an ad like this.)
Shane Douglas & Davey Haskins vs Bob Bradley & The Enforcer
Steve Williams celebrating his UWF title win w/Dusty Rhodes, 7/11/87
Terry Gordy vs Black Bart (Taped Fist – This is really blood, for Bart anyway. Ends with a
lame DQ finish though thanks to outside interference.)
Dusty Rhodes, Sting & Chris Adams vs Eddie Gilbert, Rick Steiner & Angel of Death (Bunkhouse
tag match – this is a bonus attraction, so no surprise when TV time runs out on it)
UWF TV – 6/27/87 (Super-rare episode of UWF TV. Quality is EX!)
Steve Williams visiting the University of Oklahoma
Steve Williams vs Dick Murdoch, New Orleans, 6/13/87 (#1 Contender Match – Terrific match
that sees Doc win a title shot by KO’ing Murdoch with his cast. Of note also is that
Murdoch kicks out of Doc’s finisher. After the match, Williams get triple-teamed, Dusty
Rhodes saves but then gets beat down.)
Bubba Rogers Training Session
Chris Adams vs Rick Steiner (Clipped – Black Bart runs in, Sting makes the save)

UWF TV – 7/4/87 (Another complete episode of UWF TV. Great stuff! I’ve got a master
convert so VQ is EX.)
Eddie Gilbert, Rick Steiner & Dick Murdoch vs Shane Douglas, Jeff Raitz & Ken Massey
Interview w/John Ayers & Dusty Rhodes RE: 7/11/87 UWF title match (Dusty’s going to be tied to
Skandor Akbar while Dr. Death challenges Big Bubba. Even after all this time, I still
STUNNED that anybody thought putting John Ayers on camera was a good idea in any way.)
Black Bart vs Bob Bradley
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Pez Whatley & Enforcer #2
Steve Williams working out at the University of Oklahoma

after KO’ing Murdoch with the cast on his arm)
Shane Douglas vs Mike Boyette (Boyette does a promo before the match!)
Interview w/Missy Hyatt & Terry Taylor (Taylor says he’s getting so much fan mail since
aligning with Eddie Gilbert that the fans should start putting money in their letters, so
it’s at least worth his time, LOL. Taylor was a great heel in the UWF.)
Chris Adams vs Rick Steiner, 6/12/87 (Finish – Black Bart runs in and attacks Adams with his
branding iron but Sting makes the save)
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Angel of Death & The Terminator (After the match, Terminator
busts open Horner with the claw)
Barry Windham vs The Enforcer
Terry Gordy & Buddy Roberts vs Eddie Gilbert & Dick Murdoch (Winners get a title shot against
the Lightning Express. Lots of run-ins and a big brawl ensues.)

UWF TV – 7/25/87 (Another rare episode of UWF TV from after the JCP buyout. I’ve got a master
convert so VQ is EX.)
Steve Williams vs Bubba Rogers, 7/11/87 (Finish only – Williams, in the least-surprising
match result of all-time, wins the UWF World title in his adopted hometown of Norman, OK.

UWF TV – 8/1/87 (More from the post-Watts era of the UWF. This one features the famous
Murdoch/Windham match. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)
Opening of show (mentioned only because they misspells John Ayers’ name as ‘Ayres’)
Recap of the Taylor/Adams Feud
BARRY WINDHAM VS DICK MURDOCH (Famous match that lasts the entire episode. Not the all-time
classic I’d been told but very good. The real star here is Terry Taylor on commentary –
he is absolutely BRILLIANT.)
UWF TV COMM TAPE – 8/8/87 (Here we have a rare bird – a commercial tape release from 1994 of a
pair of consecutive, complete UWF TV shows from 1987. Very cool. I’ve got a master convert
so VQ is EX.)
Pez Whatley vs Ken Massey
Eddie Gilbert vs Davey Haskins
Ron Simmons vs Gladiator #1, WCW, 7/18/87
Dusty Rhodes video “You Can’t Judge a Book By Lookin’ at the Cover”
Press Conference: Terry Taylor (He’s getting questioned about his recent heel turn and ducks
the questions, then leaves. Chris Adams takes the podium to talk for a minute and then
Taylor attacks him. This is hilarious. Since when do wrestlers have press conferences
for ANYTHING?)
Big Bubba Rogers vs Bobby Howell & Craig Whitford
Rock & Roll Express vs Midnight Express, NWA, 7/2/87 (JIP – Midnight Express appear to win the
NWA World tag titles but it gets reversed on a DQ, which is NOT shown.)

Ron Simmons vs Gladiator #1, WCW, 7/18/87

pre-match promo wearing a “Sex Instructor” t-shirt, LOL. He’s 0-99 but swears that tonight
is the night he wins!)

Big Bubba Rogers vs Ron Ellis & Craig Whitford
Terry Taylor attacking Chris Adams, UWF, 8/8/87
Eddie Gilbert vs Brad Armstrong (Terry Taylor runs in for the DQ to save Gilbert’s title.
Sting then runs in to save Armstrong.)

UWF TV – 8/22/87 (Episode of UWF from the dying days of the promotion. Sad to see it in this
state. Just a mish-mash of UWF and NWA stuff with no rhyme or reason with music videos
randomly inserted, etc. This particular show was taped at the Superdome where they managed
to draw just 5000 people. VQ on this is EX.)
Eddie Gilbert vs Brad Armstrong, UWF, 8/15/87 (Finish – Terry Taylor runs in)
Davey Haskins vs Mike Boyette, 8/1/87 (Boyette’s 1-week experiment with beads in his hair is
now over and he’s back to being goofy looking. Looks a lot like Mick Foley, actually.)
Terry Gordy vs Angel of Death, 8/1/87 (pretty much a squash here for Gordy)

Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Gary Young & The Enforcer, 7/1/87 (Finish)
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Gary Young & The Terminator, 7/11/87 (Finish – way to put an
awesome tag title match on the Bash show where Doc wins the UWF title, guys)
Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner vs Bubba Rogers & Black Bart, 8/3/87 (Finish)
Steve Cox Challenging Gary Young, New Orleans, 8/1/87
Midnight Express vs vs Brad Armstrong & Tim Horner, New Orleans, 8/1/87 (Good match that sees
the MX appear to win the UWF tag titles after Terry Taylor KOs Armstrong with Cornette’s
racket, only to have the decision overturned)
Dusty Rhodes & Steve Williams vs Eddie Gilbert & Dick Murdoch, New Orleans, 8/1/87 (Bullrope –
They do the typical “we’re out of time” thing here but actually show several minutes first)

UWF TV – 9/5/87 (Another episode from late in the UWF life cycle. This one was taped at the LA
Forum. I’ve got a master convert, VQ is EX.)

Video Re-Cap: the Terminator from Devastation Inc putting the claw on all three Freebirds
Interview w/Ric Flair, Worldwide, 8/87
Sting vs Eddie Gilbert, 8/3/87 (No match – full angle from above attack – Terry Taylor attacks
Sting before the match, resulting in a LOT of blood. Sting can’t continue but the ref
decides there WILL be a TV title match so we get…)
Eddie Gilbert vs Shane Douglas, 8/3/87 (Sting pulls off a miraculous recovery and lays out
Gilbert. Shane Douglas wins the UWF TV title.)
Interview w/Ronnie Garvin, 8/87
Terry Taylor attacking Chris Adams, UWF, 8/8/87
Ron Simmons vs Samoan Coquine
Steve Cox Rookie of the Year Trophy Presentation, 8/3/87 (An angle from a trophy presentation?
HOW ORIGINAL. Man, that’s never been done before! Gary Young comes out in drag and
attacks Cox. No idea why, maybe it’s Cox’s manly-sounding last name.)
Rock & Roll Express vs Big Bubba Rogers & Black Bart (The Terminator runs in and attacks and
the Freebirds, of all people, make the save.)

UWF TV – 9/12/87 (More of the JCP-era UWF. This one’s not particularly great, though the
Arn vs Armstrong match is good. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)

“magazine”-style shows that the UWF would run. I’ve got a master convert so VQ is EX.)
Black Bart vs Ron Ellis (JIP)
Ivan Koloff vs Tommy Angel (JIP – this and the above match are shown to highlight guys that
are challengers to Steve Williams’ UWF title. OK, Bart I get. But Uncle Ivan?)
Dusty Rhodes vs Lex Luger, NWA Worldwide, 8/8/87 (JIP – Dusty appears to win the US title but
ends up DQ’ed because he threw Luger over the top rope)
Dusty Rhodes attacking Lex Luger in the dressing room, NWA Worldwide, 8/8/87 (Right after the
above match, Dusty shows his toughness by jumping Luger from behind and putting him out
with the Weaverlock. Interesting that there’s no heels in the dressing room other than JJ
and he just pleads with Dusty “come on, he’s had enough!”)
Dusty Rhodes vs Gladiator #1, NWA Pro, 8/22/87
Terry Taylor vs Shane Douglas, 9/2/87 (JIP – Taylor wins the UWF TV title)

that backfired…)
Nikita Koloff vs Tully Blanchard, NWA, 8/17/87 (Finish Only – Nikita wins NWA TV title)
Terry Taylor vs Shane Douglas, UWF, 9/2/87 (Finish Only – Taylor wins UWF TV Title – Taylor
is in the studio while they run these TV title switches and is hilarious as he points out
how Nikita needed interference and a foreign object to win his title while his video showed
none of that. Of course, Taylor’s help came sooner than the video but, hey, why let that
get in the way of a good story?)

Steve Williams vs Red Devil
Eddie Gilbert & Terry Taylor vs Sting & Shane Douglas, 9/9/87 (“The Battle of New Orleans” –
Finish & Brawl only – they give us the finish of the tag match and then run-ins by Rick
Steiner & Chris Adams lead to a wild Tupelo-style brawl all over the building. Great
stuff. Look for idiot Terry Taylor to throw a bucket of water with a brush in it – that
Jim Ross stupidly calls a bucket of beer – on Adams making the floor dangerously wet)
Missy Hyatt Interviewing JJ Dillon (Good grief, Missy was hot in 1987)
Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs Italian Stallion & Denny Brown (JIP)
Sheepherders vs Ken Massey & Bobby Howell
Barry Windham vs Arn Anderson (JIP – Last minute or so of a draw; JR has obviously been told
this will show the Horsemen jumping Windham as he talks like there was a 3 or 4-on-1 attack
here when nothing like that is shown.)
RIC FLAIR VS RONNIE GARVIN, 9/25/87 (Cage – Last 2 min – Garvin wins NWA World title –
Because they didn’t plan out this show well, we get the exact same clip as shown above
a second time. Somehow I can’t see Vince running the exact same clip twice in one show
for no reason.)

UWF TV – 10/17/87 (Another episode from late in the UWF life cycle. These were taped in
Cleveland on 10/7/87. This was copied using a DVD recorder at some point so it’s not QUITE

Hayes for the pinfall with his shoe)

UWF TV – 12/26/87 (Pretty sure this is the final episode of UWF ever. Even though it was no
