Posted March 9, 201114 yr comment_5466777 JIP though I don't think much of anything is lost. Hennig is working a headlock as a base early and Hansen is fun trying to roughneck his way out of it. Hansen takes over but Curt gets a near fall on a sunset flip and then fires back with some stiff shots. Hansen takes over with a big kick and gets a near fall off of an elbow drop. Nice suplex near fall from Hansen and they do a great spot with Hansen going for a bulldog, but Curt rams him into the turnbuckles and Hansen stumbles head over heels into a near fall for Curt. Curt tries to go back to a headlock and gets nastily crotched on the top rope. Hansen locks on a stomach claw of all things and then hits an atomic drop. Cool chop exchange but Hansen says "fuck this," takes him down and locks him in the Boston Crab. Hansen drops the hold and then hits a huge back body drop on Hennig. He goes to throw him over the top but Hennig gets tied up n the ropes hand man style where Hansen works on him. Hall hits the ring for the save. Nowhere near as good as the other match of theirs I've seen but still a really good match.

May 21, 201213 yr comment_5503188 AWA World Heavyweight Title: Stan "The Lariat" Hansen © vs. Curt Hennig (2/1/86) Hennig really works the headlock early before Hansen just brutalizes him to take the advantage. Hennig gets some nearfalls though and fights back with some good punches before he gets kicked in the chest which he takes a great bump for. Hansen is really fun here taking it to Hennig with Curt being just as fun taking the punishment. I loved the crotch spot by Hansen on Hennig who took that like a champ leading to Hansen working a damn stomach claw before eventually going to the Boston Crab which had credibility because that is what he used to win the title from Martel. Hansen would try to throw Hennig over the top rope but he would get caught neck first like he did in the Roadies match a year before and Hansen would pound him until Scott Hall would run in for the DQ. This wasn't as good as their other match but this was a lot of fun and moves forward fairly easily.
