A look back to UWF: The Bladerunners & Korchenko take on Perry Jackson. Jeff Gaylord & Brett Sawyer in a 6 man tag match in UWF. Announcing was Michale Hays and Jim Ross.

The Blade Runners were a tag team consisting of future superstars, Steve Borden (Sting) and Jim Hellwig (Rock), that existed in 1985 and 1986. They were managed by Eddie Gilbert.

Less than 6 months after arriving in Mid-South (UWF), Hellwig and Borden split up with Hellwig moving on to World Class Championship Wrestling, where he became known The Dingo Warrior, laying the foundation for his famous Ultimate Warrior gimmick in the WWF.

Sting remained in Mid-South and under the tutelage of Eddie Gilbert for a while before turning face. Sting is now in TNA.
