There is a very small edit in this where we lose almost nothing and that is a good thing because this is a tremendous match and easily the best thing I've watched so far. Pre-match Karbo comes out and says that since Adnan and Blackwell are wearing casts the faces get to tape up their fists. Of course the result of this is the heels getting their fucking asses kicked for the first five minutes. Mad Dog is a great fired up face and I love his over the top antics. Adnan selling the shit out of his back rake was great and the crowd was fucking molten throughout this whole match. Blackwell was a bump freak early and he ends up bleeding profusely flying all over the ring, getting thrown out on a table with Adnan where the faces kick their asses some more. Blackwell takes over on Raschke and I'll be damned if the Baron isn't a really compelling FIP. Baron starts bleeding pretty badly and they do a cool spot with Baron and Blackwell getting knocked down and Baron is crawling as fast as he can to get a hot tag and just gets stomped on his head at the last second. Blackwell hits a fucking brutal looking elbow drop right after that and then his awesome powerslam out of the corner. God damn the crowd is hot for everything in this match. Finish is really great as Raschke fires up and locks the claw on bloody Blackwell, but Adnan blindsides the Baron with his cast and Blackwell hits a splash for the finish. Post-match the heels beat the piss out of the faces and Verne comes out and clears the ring. The heels make like they are going to leave but then turn around and beat the fuck out of Verne too! Okerland is screaming for order over the house mic as the heels go to the back and fans literally start beating the fuck out of Blackwell and Adnan who have to run for their lives. Really great in every way.

Taped Fist Match: Crusher Blackwell & Sheik Adnan Kaissey vs. Baron Von Raschke & Mad Dog Vachon (3/13/83)

 

The fans were molten hot for Raschke & Vachon getting taped up. This wasn't pretty but it is exactly what you wanted here as guys were beating each other's asses and Blackwell was bumping like hell with the fans going crazy as the blood was being shed. Sheik using the cast on Baron allowing Blackwell to cover for the win was a hot finish as the crowd was extremely angry then Mad Dog got his ass kicked afterwards until Verne made the save to a huge pop. Crusher would then attack Verne from behind and the heels pounded on Verne setting up the Super Sunday match and starting a riot where fans were attacking the heels on their way to the back. Wild scene to end a wild match and this is a fairly easy nomination.
