Posted September 21, 201015 yr comment_5456069 Pre-match to this is great as Dennis Corralluzo, Sytch and some guy named "Guido" come out and cut a long promo about NJ, the NWA title, et. Then they get banned from ringside to a huge pop. Candido is great bumping huge for Boo early and stumbling around ala Terry Funk. He actually gets a "Candido" chant after this which is surprising given the era and settling of this match. Boo getting on his knees for a fisticuffs spot was really great. From there they go to a criss cross spot where Boo bails and Candido ends up running for an extra ten rotations or so which is always a favorite of the Southern fans. They follow this up with a pose down spot of all things which gets another big reaction. Boo loses an exchange and walks to the back of the building and takes a nightsticker from a cop with Mark Curtis cutting him off before he can get in the ring. Things slow down for a bit and then Chris ends up taking a semi-Hamrick bump through the ropes to the floor where he grabs a weapon of some kind and plasters Boo once he is back on the apron. Candido's control segment was solid and steady and they did a good teaser with Boo cutting himself off by taking his standard rolling kick over the ropes bump. Master of the temp change Chris Candido is on display again and this one has a hot run to the finish which comes when Tammy jumps on the apron in disguise and Boo intercepts a purse toss and whacks Chris in the face with it for the finish.

I thought it was funny how Bradley out smarted Candido early on. In fact it was Bradley's schtick that carried the match early on. That;s not a knock on Candido he played along well. I feel this should have gone about 5 minutes less, but that was the SMW curse sometimes. Still a fun houseshow match.
July 13, 201114 yr comment_5476676 Boo Bradley vs. Chris Candido (1/28/95) The prematch stuff with all the Jersey crew was great. The fans are very hot for Boo here who was active like a motherfucker here with Candido bumping and selling like a motherfucker as well. Candido was channeling Terry Funk here in various ways and it was great. Boo was also a great foil for Candido which makes a difference because some big guys don't know how to work this type of match. Candido would use the ring bell I think on Boo's arm to start his control section which he slowed down the pace working a headlock. Boo was fun in his hope spots and his comeback was awesome as he ripped off his shorts to reveal long tights which was tremendous. The stretch run was fun before Tammy would show up dressed as a middle-aged woman chunking her purse in the ring which Boo would use to win. This was a damn fun match and a fairly easy nomination to me.
