Posted March 6, 201114 yr comment_5466670 Pat Roach vs. Ray Steele 3/23/83 - I saw that OJ had a meh reaction to an earlier match between these two, but this was a long, solid draw. Roach has really impressed me so far. He was quite slick for his size, but when it was time to bring the thunder, he could do that as well. Steele looked good also, hitting Roach with some stiff, stiff uppercuts and flashing slick roll-up variations. I liked the way he surprised Roach with a backslide to even the match and the way Roach was a little more prepared every time he tried to do it again. I found it a little annoying when the ref counted after every move down the stretch. It created a choppier feel than necessary. But I still enjoyed this enough for a nomination. WOS V2 6
