Ted DiBiase vs. Genchiro Tenryu (10/23/83) - For the first half of the match, Tenryu controlled Dibiase with arm holds, going back to the limb to cut Ted off every time he tried to brawl. Good slow-build opening with the arm stuff generally looking tight and serving a purpose. They opened things up in the second half, going back-and-forth with strikes and a bunch of high-impact offense. I guess one could argue that it was too back-and-forth, with neither guy executing a real plan of attack. But I enjoyed watching Tenryu empty his arsenal. I always mark out when he does a tope. The finish, with Ted unable to beat the count after eating a nasty suplex on the floor, fit the match. Solid nomination. Harley Race vs. Jumbo Tsuruta (10/26/83) - Already reviewed. Stan Hansen vs. The Mongolian (12/8/83) - Already reviewed.
