FLORIDA TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
STEVE KEIRN/ MIKE GRAHAM defeat THE MANCHURIANS w/ SIR OLIVER HUMPERDINK

Match 6-
 
AUSTIN IDOL defeats BUDDY COLT/ THE SPOILER
 
The handicap advantage Spoiler and Colt enjoy has worn Idol down late in the match. A groggy Idol looks like he will get caught between the charging Colt and Spoiler. Idol drops to the canvas out of desperation. Colt and Spoiler collide and Colt falls through the ropes.
 
Idol recovers and ties Spoiler in the ropes. He hits Spoiler several times and goes after Colt on the floor. He wraps Colt’s leg around the ring post. He, then, brings Colt in the ring and applies the Las Vegas Leglock for the submission.
 
IDOL (W) @ 23:02
