Posted November 14, 201014 yr comment_5458304 Verne tells strong man stories about Blackwell. Jerry Blackwell v. Kenny Jay Uneventful squash from Blackwell. Tito Santana v. Jerry Blackwell. JIP. Not much shown. I did like some of the spots, especially the sunset flip and the weeble wobble sell job from Blackwell of the Tito dropkicks that sets up the finish with Tito missing a crossboy and fatass Blackwell hilariously using the ropes for leverage. Jerry Blackwell v. Billy Robinson JIP. We lose about four minutes likely of little importance as it starts off in a simple headlock. Lots of early spots with Blackwell surprising Robinson with armdrags, Robinson being unable to lock on a full nelson, Robinson having to avoid a Blackwell monkey flip attempt off the ropes, et. Blackwell and Robinson do a really sharp looking mat exchange with some decent looking counters. On the reset Blackwell takes over, trips the leg and drops a huge legdrop on Robinson's leg. Robinson slowly reverses the momentum on the mat and starts working over Blackwell's legs. Blackwell gets the break somehow which causes Billy to freak out. Blackwell extends the hand and slips in a knee for the cheapshot. Blackwell's heat segment wasn't all that great, but then Robinson starts to make his comeback and Blackwell pops with a nasty dropkick out of nowhere. He ends up missing a splash and Robinson gets a nearfall. Blackwell's selling of Robinson's punches was really great and the double rope running spot ending in a Robinson forearm for a nearfall was really cool. Billy's badass neckbreaker for another good nearfall. Blackwell misses a corner charge but then Blackwell catches him with a knee coming in and puts his legs on the ropes for a pretty weak looking finish. The best parts of this were awfully good, but their were moments that fell a bit flat and the finish was not convincing at all. Overall a strong but flawed match. Jerry Blackwell v. Verne Gagne This is silent film and appears to be somewhat sped up. basically the finish of a match with Blackwell taking some big bumps off of dropkicks, Verne locking on the sleeper, a massive corner bump escape and Blackwell missing some big offense to set up Verne winning. Jerry Blackwell v. Dino Bravo (Bodyslam Contest) This is JIP which is kinda funny. Really an angle with Blackwell ambushing Bravo and hitting some big time offense on him. Jerry Blackwell v. Dino Bravo (Bodyslam Match) JIP, about five minutes missing. Bravo with a nice dropkick/armdrag sequence that actually looked super impressive. Armbar from Bravo which sets up a Blackwell escape and dropkick. They then each miss standing splashes which was sort of odd. Back to the armbar. They do some decent stuff with it, including a Bravo roll through of a slam attempt and a spot where Bravo runs around Blackwell causing him to "shriek" in pain, but for the most part this is not very interesting. Blackwell takes over and starts working the fucking armpit of Bravo which is totally awesome. LONG segment where really nothing happens with Bravo on the mat. Bravo comes back with some elbows that Blackwell sells really well. Match really falls apart with a screwy ref bump spot and some other stupid crap right before the finish. There were some cool spots, but there was way too much dead time here.
