The Zhukov/Ferris match from Racine, WI 2/14/87 was indeed a flag match. I don’t know if this needs to be added to the results or not.
There is also a 12/31 card, where Jannetty and Michaels are definitely NOT the AWA World Tag Team Champions.
What happened was in January ’88 Condrey wanted the money that he was owed. Instead, Verne had Stanley Blackburn go out and “review” the 12/27 match, and announce that the Midnight Rockers had won the match, and should be the Champions! Even though there was nothing to back that up.
There’s actually a January 1988 episode of Pro Wrestling This Week where Randy Rose and Paul E appeared(WITH the belts), and do a semi-shoot, leaving the belts lying on the floor.
But, as of December 31 1987, the Midnight Express were the Undisputed Tag Team Champions, and on December 27 1987 the Midnight Express clearly beat the Midnight Rockers.
