Match #18: Terry Gordy vs. Kerry Von Erich (No DQ) (6/10/83) I’ve been waiting for this singles match up all set. This is no DQ, with Kevin seconding Kerry, and Hayes seconding Gordy (his tag team championship partner, as they are set to defend against Kerry and Bruiser Brody at a big show coming up.)

Match # 9: Ric Flair vs. Terry Gordy (2/4/83) We start where we always should, with Ric Flair cutting an arrogant, controlled promo to Bill Mercer about his match, his life, and being the champ. Gordy and Hayes cut promos on Flair that are pretty impressive. An odd, but interesting heel versus heel dynamic.

Match # 8: Terry Gordy vs. Kevin Von Erich (1/10/83) I’ve grabbed Gene Boyer for a dorkfest of wrestling proportions. So this probably won’t be as detailed a review, but it’s the kick off of Freebirds and Von Erich feud.

Match # 140: Ted DiBiase & Dr. Death vs. Terry Gordy & Michael Hayes (Badstreet Match) (1/25/87) No need for a huge write up. We’ve seen many combinations of these four men in the ring during the last several Mid South Diaries. In fact, we’ve seen this exact match with this exact stipulation. Funny thing [...]

Match # 137: Terry Gordy vs. Dr. Death (12/28/86) This is getting to be a fun habit between these two. They start out brawling. Gordy is the aggressor. Doc holds his own and eventually wins out. Good execution of a common early match formula. Gordy maneuvers out of a piledriver attempt, a big move many [...]

Match # 136: Terry Gordy vs. Dr. Death (12/26/86) Match starts in progress, which I hate, and it seems deep into the match at first. Thankfully it’s only four minutes in, though they are already into Gordy getting the heat. The match is slow and plodding in the early going. It’s basically one big bear [...]

Match # 132: Terry Gordy vs. Dr. Death (9/28/86) They put a lot of people in a bull ring in Little Rock, Arkansas. They even put in two side by side rings. War Games? It wasn’t even done yet (first War Games was ’87). I’d guess a battle royal, back when that was a big [...]

Match # 131: Terry Gordy vs. One Man Gang (9/21/86) This interested me on paper because One Man Gang was always a heel. It’s confirmed here too. He has Skandor Akbar with him and a flag. I assumed something Middle Eastern, but it looks like a pirate flag. Why didn’t Doc come out and slap [...]

Match # 130: Terry Gordy vs. Dr. Death (9/15/86) Gordy is the UWF Champion. Doc is the babyface challenger. The match is in front of a hot Tulsa, OK crowd at a TV taping with Jim Ross and a very bias Michael PS Hayes on commentary.

Match # 125: Terry Gordy vs. Hacksaw Duggan (8/3/86) Seems like yet another match from the TV tapings in Tulsa. Always a great crowd. Dibiase seconds Duggan while Hayes is with his “Big Brother”, Terry Bam Bam Gordy. This match is for the UWF title. Booker Ken Mantell comes out to make Dibiase and Hayes [...]

Match # 122: Terry Gordy vs. Dr. Death (6/22/86) Hell YES. Something you need to know: I’m a huge Doc and Gordy mark via their ECW run in 1996. When I finally got into All Japan in late 1997 and saw all the great stuff they did a few years before, these two became legends [...]

Match # 121: Terry Gordy vs. Terry Taylor (6/17/86) Thankfully this one starts out from the beginning. Gordy is still the champion and Taylor the TV champ. Only the big belt is on the line tonight. I’m curious if this is still Houston. It does resemble the Houston venue, though in the last half year [...]

Match # 120: Terry Gordy vs. Terry Taylor (6/13/86) This match is a shining example of why this debate and list is fun, but by no means true or complete. We’re about to get into some serious Gordy at this level, and Gordy is one of the best big men of all time. He was [...]
