Posted January 14, 201114 yr comment_5461957 This starts with an Invader/Fuchi match JIP. Pierre Martel vs. Steve Lawler (August 1982) Competitive match with Martel looking decent. The Assassins (Don Bass & Dirty Rhodes) vs. La Bala Negra & Isaac Rosario (August 1982) Squash. The Invader vs. The Avenger (August 1982) Squash. Mr. Kareem Muhammad vs. Big Red Reese (August 1982) This is quite the battle yeesh. The Assassins (Don Bass & Dirty Rhodes) vs. La Bala Negra & Charlie Cook (August 1982) Basically a squash. Next is a Ric Flair/Jim Nelson match from JCP TV. Joyce Grable vs. Velvet McIntyre (September 1982) Okay match. Next we get a promo by Flair at the WWC studios. "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Tommy Gilbert (September 1982) Damn good little TV match here as Gilbert gets time to shine and Flair wins decisively. The Assassins (Don Bass & Dirty Rhodes) vs. Gerald Finley & Victor Jovica (September 1982) Competitive squash. The Moondogs (Rex & Spot) vs. Tony Colon & Big Red Reese (September 1982) Fairly easily win for the Dogs. Carlos Colon vs. Pedro Valdez (September 1982) Easy win for Carlos. Mr. Kareem Muhammad vs. Gerald Finley (September 1982) Squash. Next we get an awesome angle from Florida where Terry Funk wrestles Jerry Grey in a bunkhouse match. Great stuff. Johnny Rivera vs. Masa Fuchi (September 1982) This is JIP and was pretty good. Abdullah the Butcher vs. Big Red Reese (September 1982) Big Red was all fired up here and the crowd was going nuts for him as he took the battle to Abby. Abby turned the tide quickly though and just destroyed Big Red. This was fun though. Steve Lawler & Dick Steinborn vs. Tony Colon & Victor Jovica (September 1982) This cut out before the end.

October 20, 201311 yr comment_5568153 Invader v. Fuchi JIP. This was okay for what was shown. I will say that Invader was quite the athlete back then and could really move in the ring. Pierre Martel vs. Steve Lawler This really wasn't anything special, but Martel did have a great looking piledriver. The Assassins squash was LONNNNNGGGG The Invader v. The Avenger Basically just a showcase for Invader. Mr. Kareem Muhammad vs. Big Red Reese I must be nuts because I thought this was perfectly enjoyable fat guy v. fat guy wrestling. Really short and decisive win for Muhammed, but I liked this while it lasted. The Assassins (Don Bass & Dirty Rhodes) vs. La Bala Negra & Charlie Cook Nothing to see here. Joyce Grable vs. Velvet McIntyre This was a workrate match. Some fun spots, but nothing that is going to make a set. Flair promo was pretty good. I've seen Flair v. Gilbert already. The Assassins (Don Bass & Dirty Rhodes) vs. Gerald Finley & Victor Jovica This was ok. I kind of like the idea of a babyface team that keeps moving forward and going for it, only to be crushed by bigger, tougher, cheaters. The Moondogs (Rex & Spot) vs. Tony Colon & Big Red Reese Quick, fun, Moondogs squash. Colon wins a quick squash. Mr. Kareem Muhammad vs. Gerald Finley Fun steamrolling, unprofessional, mauling from Muhammed. Finley looks totally unprepared for the degree of ass kicking he gets here. I kind of wish we had a Muhammed v. Colon stadium brawl. Terry Funk beating the fuck out of Jerry Grey is great, but I have no clue what it has to do with Puerto Rico. Johnny Rivera vs. Masa Fuchi JIP. If this was complete it might have been a nomination. Fuchi's offense looked really good and this was structured well. I also really loved the finish, you gotta love how protected the figure-four is in PR. Abdullah the Butcher vs. Big Red Reese Watching the crowd go batshit for Reese in his ridiculous jumpsuit, with Abby reeling was great. Even Reese looked surprise that he was able to get back up after hitting a pair of leg drops, so I kind of bought that that was it for him on offense. Abby having enough and going full blown stabby and then hitting a big pair of elbow off the first rope was good shit too. This was awesome, but too short to nominate. Steve Lawler & Dick Steinborn vs. Tony Colon & Victor Jovica Incomplete
