Everything he does looks dangerous. *Interviews with Wahoo McDaniel and TV champ Greg Gagne* 2. Greg Gagne v Mark Wagner – AWA International TV title Classic Greg Gagne 2 minute title match where he hits some armdrags, some dropkicks, and wins with a sleeper. Announcers constantly put over how Wagner could pull off the upset. He didn't. 3. Tom Zenk v The Nomad Masked jobbers are the greatest. Nomand wore a plain mask and sweatpants. He did not win. 4. The Midnight Rockers v Adrian Adonis/Bob Orton – AWA tag title. Yes! Now THIS was completely awesome. Goes 17+, and is just killer. I don't know what was going on with Bob Orton, but he absolutely had a grudge against Michaels, and he beat the shit out of him the whole match. There was one point where he had Michaels in a headlock and was just punching him right in the face, making sick smacking noises. Rachel was watching with me and said "How is he even pulling those? It just looks like he's hitting him." Orton would punch Jannetty, then give it two-fold to Michaels. Clearly looked like he had a vendetta. Match itself was awesome as well, crowd was super hot, built to the Marty hot tag really well (with a couple nice teases), Adonis was mega-obese at this point but still threw in some impressive bumps. Just constant fun, easily the best ESPN match I have seen so far. SLAM DUNK NOMINATION.
