Posted February 14, 201114 yr comment_5464476 Hansen chases Larry Nelson from the ring and we have a fight. Hansen just rushes forward with his gear on throwing blows but Blackwell takes back over with headbutts and forearms driving Hansen to the floor. Hansen finally manages to pull Blackwell to the ground and pounds on him biting at his head. Blackwell actually looks really immobile here but they work around it pretty well with Hansen bleeding and some nice back and fourth slugfest spots. Hansen is a bloody mess early which also helps. Ref bump and the ref misses a count on a big splash. Hansen takes off his boot and cold cocks Blackwell with it and then beats him to hell with the boot busting him open. A new ref runs in and dives on Hansen to stop him. Hansen beats him up and Blackwell gets the boot and lays in some blows. I don't know. This would have been a lot better if Blackwell had bee in better shape. They did everything they could to make it work but I don't think they hit a home run. I'll toss it on the dock, though this feels like more of an EXTRA to me.

The match doesn’t last long before the non-finish but this was a war while it lasted. We have had shorter matches than this and this was a blast. Nomination.
January 7, 201213 yr comment_5491879 AWA World Heavyweight Title: Stan "The Lariat" Hansen © vs. Crusher Blackwell (6/28/86) This is Stan's last match in the AWA which is notable and this is what you want from these two men as they just beat the shit out of each other. I don't mind Blackwell being in not the best of physical conditions here as he just clubbered Stan and we got some good juice from him. Blackwell would start juicing as well as Hansen waylayed him with his boot and this is a fucking slugfest. Hansen gets DQed but Blackwell doesn't give a fuck as he gets the boot and pounds Hansen with it for good measure. This was pretty great shit here as you got what you wanted from these two in this type of match at this stage of Blackwell's career at least as he was starting to slide down. Solid nomination.
