World Class Diaries: Match # 108
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Match #108: Steve Regal & Jack Victory vs. The Fantastics (2/3 Falls) (3/3/86) The Fantasics are back to face the non-Britsh Regal and utility midcarder, Jacko, in the best of three falls.
World Class Diaries: Match #83
Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Match #83: The Fantastics vs. Midnight Express (3/8/85) The final of the trilogy of Midnights/Fans matches on this set, this one emanating from the Dallas Sportatorium.
World Class Diaries: Match #78
Monday, November 15, 2010
Match #78: The Fantastics vs. Midnight Express (1/11/85) The rematch from the wonderful and smooth tag title match from Christmas Day—won by the Fantastics.
World Class Diaries: Match #76
Monday, November 15, 2010
Match #76: The Fantastics vs. Midnight Express (12/25/84) The greatness of tag teams featured in the Mid South Diaries finds its way to Dallas on Christmas day. It’s the Midnights vs the Fantastics.
Mid South Diaries: Match #139
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Match # 139: The Fantastics & Dr. Death vs. The Fabulous Freebirds (1/18/87) Apparently storyline-wise Terry Gordy is to blame for all of this. Gordy attacked the Fantastics recently, and we know he’s had a longstanding feud with Death – Dr. Death Steve Williams. This allows Hayes and Roberts of the Freebirds to slide into [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #134
Sunday, August 24, 2008
Match # 134: The Fantastics vs. John Tatum & Jack Victory (11/4/86) This match rules from the first image. It’s Hollywood John Tatum! He’s like a younger Jim Belushi, if Jim was younger and hammed it up with blond hair. I love that guy. His tag partner is Jacko – the journeyman Jack Victory, who [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #129
Friday, August 22, 2008
Match # 129: The Fantastics vs. Sting & Eddie Gilbert (9/7/86) This is for the held up UWF tag team belts. Gilbert has his whole faction out there. Missy and Tatum should keep me interested if the match does not. Should be fun to see a young StingThe Fantastics take forever to get to the [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #124
Friday, August 22, 2008
Match # 124: The Fantastics & Missing Link vs. Eddie Gilbert, John Tatum & Sting (8/3/86) Dark Journey is a face now and Missy Hyatt makes an appearance with the heels. She’s slept with everyone but Sting on the heels side… maybe Sting too. Neat.
Mid South Diaries: Match #116
Thursday, August 21, 2008
Match # 116: The Fantastics & Terry Taylor vs. The Sheepherders & Jack Victory (Barbed Wire Cage Match) (5/25/86) Faces are in the ring and the crowd is hot right off. Weird thing is this “cage” looks like something that more trade-related backyard wrestlers would construct. It’s a 2×4 castle that looks like the start [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #115
Thursday, August 21, 2008
Match # 115: The Fantastics & Terry Taylor vs. The Sheepherders & Jack Victory (5/9/86) Another bullshit nationalistic angle. Bobby Fulton leads the crowd in the pledge of allegiance. I know some people like nationalism in their own lives, but I don’t, and certainly makes my skin crawl in wrestling. Nationalism in wrestling tends to [...]
Mid South Diaries: Matches #32-33
Sunday, August 17, 2008
Match # 32: Adrian Street vs Chris Adams (10/10/84) All these years and I have never seen an Adrian Adonis match. I know the gimmick – psychologically manipulative, egocentric heel with a subservient female valet. Except he’s gay and she’s his “fag hag”. Gorgeous George did it in the 50’s; Adonis in the 80s; Goldust [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #81
Saturday, August 16, 2008
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. [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #76
Friday, August 15, 2008
Match # 76: The Fantastics vs. Dutch Mantell & Bill Dundee (10/4/85) Another match built off the last disk. Match # 74 featured these same teams with the stip that the losers got whipped. The heels lost, but ended up taking very few lashes. Instead, Dundee whipped the Fantastics. So while the faces won, they [...]
Mid South Diaires: Match #74
Friday, August 15, 2008
Match # 74: The Fantastics vs. Bill Dundee & Dutch Mantell (9/22/85) It’s Bill Dundee and Dirty Dutch’s turn to bring Memphis heelin’ to Mid South. I look forward to them slapping around the silly ambiguously gay duo of The Fantasics. Well, not Tommy Rogers. The other one.
Mid South Diaries: Match #49
Monday, August 11, 2008
Match # 49: Steve Williams/Jake Roberts vs The Fantastics 4/14/85 Not sure why Jake and Doc are a team here other then they’re both heels. I’ve never been a fan of miss-mosh teams that have totally different characters and yet are supposed to be a cohesive unit that’s not questioned storyline wise. That being said, [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match # 27
Friday, June 27, 2008
Match # 27: The Fantastics v. The Midnight Express (8/9/84) Nice. Watching the last match I was hoping for a straight tag without Duggan/Cornette. We get an arena match-up to boot.
Mid South Diaries: Match # 26
Sunday, June 15, 2008
The Fantastics & Duggan vs. Midnight Express & Cornette (7/20/84) I’m not doing a big write up for this. Sometimes I feel I must for a match; sometimes I enjoy it, and sometimes it just happens. But the point of this journey through the Mid-South is exploration and fun, and I just don’t think a [...]
