Match # 113: Dick Slater vs. Hacksaw Duggan (4/11/86) Well now this match looks a lot better on the marquee. Slater is challenging for the belt because Duggan somehow acquired it, but apparently Duggan never beat Slater for it. Sounds good.

Match # 112: Dick Slater vs. Jake Roberts (No DQ, Dark Journey In A Cage) (2/28/86) This is a match I’ve never heard legend of, including the feud itself, and I’m surprised by that. The crowd is so passionate before the match can even start, waiting for an unhappy Dark Journey to get into the cage [...]

Match # 108: Dick Slater vs. Jake Roberts (2/14/86) I could have sworn the whole point of Match # 106: Terry Taylor vs Jake Roberts was to determine a number one contender for the North American Title, yet Taylor won and Jake is in the title match. What’s this all about?

Match # 100: Dick Murdoch & Masked Superstar vs. Brett Sawyer & Al Perez (1/19/86) Masked Superstar is a pre-Demolition Bill Eadie. He’s not very intimidating in that shirt though. Thankfully for me his partner is the great Dick Murdoch! Sawyer and Perez are very good smaller faces that never made it, but are very good.

Match # 98: Dick Slater vs. Jake Roberts (1/1/86) Dick Slater and Dark Journey are mid-ring with Jim Ross. He’s interviewing the two because it’s the finals of the TV tournament. But more importantly, Slater is the new North American Champion. He beat Butch Reed. Slater says he wants both the N.A. title and the [...]

Match # 97: Dick Slater vs. Hacksaw Duggan (12/31/85) The first of a block of three matches involving Dirty Dick Slater, the heel with Dark Journey as his manager. I’ve said before I’m reminded of Tracy Smothers when watching him (Smothers came after Slater, but I saw Smothers first because of my age). I’d also said [...]

Match # 89: Dick Slater vs. Dr. Death (12/18/85) Dr. Death has turned face by this point. His long-time partner is Ted Dibiase turned face in early November, and Steve Williams turned face soon after. I’m pretty sure this was after Doc saved people in a burning car on the side of a highway and it [...]

Match # 88: Dick Slater vs. Butch Reed (No DQ) (12/13/85) We know the issue. Slater is on the mic (voice like a gravel swallower) before this North American title match. I guess he still didn’t get his $50,000 bounty from Flair because he couldn’t take out Reed in their last match. Slater is willing to [...]

Match # 85: Butch Reed vs. Dick Slater (11/22/85) Remember how Flair wanted to pay Dick Slater to take out Butch Reed? Well Reed wasn’t completely taken out, and this babyface wants some revenge. There’s a lot of heat behind this angle and the players here, so there’s no better place to have the match than [...]

Match # 81: The Fantastics vs. Buzz Sawyer & Dick Slater (10/27/85) We know who the faces are in this (It’s the Fantastics if you don’t follow this blog). The heels I know from the Mid Atlantic territory. I’ve heard Dick Slater is someone to follow through the territories as he doesn’t get the credit. Sawyer [...]
