Posted October 31, 201014 yr comment_5457806 I liked this almost as Cornette v. the turtle. Opening few segments are all typical comedy spots but they are all done really well and get the desired response. Really enjoyed the criss cross spot with Corny getting winded and then being victimized by the midget. Cornette gets credit for his bumping as he should, but he actually has good offense too. Here he hit a really vicious looking uppercut that Cassidy sold like a million bucks and a an equal nasty looking elbow drop. There is a really great hope spot with Cassidy hitting a good crossbody off the ropes for a nearfall then Corny drops to his knees as he comes off the rope and levels him with a clothesline. When Cassidy finally fires off he hits some great punches, a midget snap mare(!) and a fucking suplex that actually looks really good. Jackie ends up running in for the DQ, but this was still a very good, fun match.

July 25, 201114 yr comment_5477749 Jim Cornette vs. Butch Cassidy (11/23/95) Cornette is with Sgt. Rock (Miss Texas) and this is built along the lines of Cornette vs. Cowabunga. Some good comedy here as this is worked like a midget match with Cassidy working as a face where he would normally be the heel in the match so he was doing the babyface midget spots. Assbiting, crisscrossing with Corny passing out, Curtis catching Cassidy and throwing him on Corny were all in play here. Corny went on offense and was fun using his strikes before Butch made a comeback that was cut short by Sgt. Rock who ran in for the DQ. This was fun but not as fun as Cornette vs. Cowabunga but I'll pass it through for now.
