World Class Diaries: Match #60
Sunday, October 24, 2010
Match #60: Michael Hayes, Buddy Roberts, Jimmy Garvin & Killer Khan vs. Kevin Von Erich, Junkyard Dog, Chris Adams & Jules Strongbow (5/28/84) A hybrid Freebirds and friends takes on World Class face, Kerry, and some friends from the Mid South territory.
World Class Diaries: Match #54
Saturday, October 16, 2010
Match #54: Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin vs. Mike Von Erich & Chris Adams (Penalty Box Match) (4/16/84) Poor Mike Von Erich actually makes the set proper, helped out by the Gentleman against the leader of the Freebirds and the (unofficial) fourth member. I’m curious if they’ve figured out how to work the Penalty Box [...]
World Class Diaries: Match #53
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
Match # 53: Jimmy Garvin vs. Chris Adams (4/15/84) Their last match was my favorite of the entire feud. This one is from two weeks later. Things are looking up.
World Class Diaries: Match #52
Wednesday, October 13, 2010
Match #52: Jimmy Garvin vs. Chris Adams (4/2/84) This feud, like Freebirds versus Von Erich, keeps going, through peaks and valleys. Let’s hope this is a peak. It’s the first of two straight matches between the Gentleman and the Gorgeous One.
World Class Diaries: Match #49
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
Match #49: Iceman King Parsons & Chris Adams vs. Jimmy Garvin & Missing Link (3/2/84) Adams has stolen Garvin’s jacket, his gloves, and his strut. Gorgeous Jimmy will not be pleased. Plus, the Missing Link!
World Class Diaries: Match #47
Friday, October 8, 2010
Match # 47: Jimmy Garvin vs. Chris Adams (Cage Match) (1/30/84) This feud has been good, but is beginning to have a sameness to it’s matches. With Sunshine (looking for revenge) and Precious now on competing sides, and a cage match stip added here, this one has the potential to break the mold.
World Class Diaries: Match #44
Tuesday, October 5, 2010
Match #44: Jimmy Garvin & Terry Gordy vs. Kerry Von Erich & Chris Adams (2/3 Falls) (11/28/83) The awesome Gordy/Garvin pairing is back to take on a favored Texan and a well like Brit. The Freebirds look for revenge after Hayes got sent packing by Kerry, while Garvin wants at Adams for taking in Sunshine. [...]
World Class Diaries: Match #39
Monday, September 27, 2010
Match #39: Jimmy Garvin & Michael Hayes vs. Kerry Von Erich & Chris Adams (10/31/83) I’m a huge fan of the Garvin/Freebirds pair up in World Class. Not so much the WCW Freebirds attempt, but this pairing has potential. It also weaves the Garvin/Adams conflict in with the Hayes/Kerry conflict. Don’t forget that Garvin has [...]
World Class Diaries: Match #38
Thursday, September 23, 2010
Match #38: Jimmy Garvin vs. Johnny Mantel (10/31/83) Another “beat the TV Champ” match with Mantell as your good guy of the day. Um, at least Garvin is there with two valets, right?
World Class Diaries: Match #37
Thursday, September 23, 2010
Match #37: Jimmy Garvin vs. Chris Adams (10/24/83) This match is set up by one of Garvin’s TV jobber challenge (non-title) matches against “the Masked Avenger.” Garvin’s verbose, clueless arrogance and overconfidence carries this segment perfectly. The Avenger quickly runs off several arm drags and body slams, and it’s pretty obvious to me who it [...]
World Class Diaries: Match #32
Sunday, September 19, 2010
Match # 32: Jimmy Garvin vs. Chris Adams (9/12/83) They had a stellar ten minute TV match that went to a draw two weeks before this. Here’s your high-hopes rematch.
World Class Diaries: Match #28
Wednesday, September 15, 2010
Match #28: Jimmy Garvin vs. Chris Adams (8/26/83) The arrogant, gleeful, yet clueless Garvin is back to entertain us. The big find of the set (so far) takes on a good guy Brit, who becomes more important as the set goes on.
World Class Diaries: Match # 27
Monday, September 13, 2010
Match # 27: Jimmy Garvin & Terry Gordy vs. David & Kevin Von Erich (2/3 Falls) (8/15/83) Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin’s feud with the Von Erichs makes for an easy teammate in Gordy, as they take on the Von Erichs from an arena show. Oh yeah, and two out of three falls rules.
World Class Diaries: Match #24
Wednesday, September 8, 2010
Match #24: Jimmy Garvin vs. Kevin Von Erich (7/25/83) The second half of our back-to-back Garvin vs Kevin matches. I’m scoring with a mind for Von Erich body scissors spots and Garvin pouting to Sunshine incidents.
World Class Diaries: Match #23
Monday, September 6, 2010
Match #23: Jimmy Garvin vs. Kevin Von Erich (7/18/83) Garvin worked so well with David Von Erich that they gave him a promotion and let him work with the more interesting brother, Kevin. I think these guys could surprise me and create something special. It’s the first of back-to-back Garvin/Kevin matches.
World Class Diaries: Match #20
Friday, September 3, 2010
Match #20: Jimmy Garvin vs. David Von Erich (6/17/83) The big rematch from Reunion Arena. Three times the Texas Title has been held up after three Garvin/David matches. Will we finally get a winner on a big show?
World Class Diaries: Match #17
Monday, August 30, 2010
Match #17: The Fabulous Freebirds & Jimmy Garvin vs. The Von Erichs & Iceman King Parsons (Elimination Match) (5/27/83) In the intro to the Von Erichs for this match announcer Bill Mercer delivers his classic line that was immortalized in the World Class documentary, Heroes of World Class: “And now let’s turn our attention to [...]
World Class Diaries: Match # 16
Sunday, August 29, 2010
Match #16: Jimmy Garvin vs. David Von Erich (5/27/83) It’s the debut on the World Class Diaries of Gorgeous Jimmy, another famed Von Erich foil. He should be good, and we have a whole backstory to follow leading up to the match.
