All matches mentioned in this section took place at the Dallas Sportatorium . On March 20, Putski and Terry Simms caputed the GWF Tag Team Titles from the Coast to Coast Connection ("Hollywood" John Tatum & "California Studd" Rod Price). Less than a month later, on April 17, the belts were held up following a match between Putski and Simms and the Goodfellows (Gary Young and Steven Dane). Young and Dane would go on to win the rematch on May 1 and become the undisputed champions. Putski would be without a championship for less than a month. On May 29 he defeated Johnny Mantell in tournament final to capture the GWF North American Championship , the federation's top singles title, which had been declared vacant after "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert left the GWF for the Memphis -based USWA . Putski would hold the title until being fired in August. On August 21 Rod Price was awarded the title. LATER CAREER After several tours of Japan and stints in the independent scene, Putski debuted in the WWF in 1997, as part of the WWF Light Heavyweight Division ; their attempt to compete with rivals WCW 's more established Cruiserweight Division . Putski achieved little success in the WWF, being outshone by more successful, smaller cruiserweight wrestlers like Brian Christopher , Taka Michinoku , Christian , Scott Taylor and Aguila . |
