Posted March 30, 201114 yr comment_5468607 This was basically a balls to the wall sprint and could have been great if it was five minutes longer. Buddy blades seconds into this and takes some fun bumps. Piper throws hands like you want Piper to throw hands and takes a sick bump of his own over the top. Rose beats the shit out of Piper with a water pitcher on the floor. Piper is pretty good working underneath, but Rose is great kicking Piper in the nuts and just generally being an asshole. Finish with the superplex attempt leading to a Piper press was one of the better executed versions of that I"ve seen even if it was sort of unsatisfying. Good match, notable as a match Piper worked on loan from the WWF. This should make the set.
December 20, 201113 yr comment_5490556 I thought the match was good. Still it feels like it misses the mark as a nomination. At best it's a low end nomination. It feels more like an extra because of Piper working the show.
October 22, 201410 yr comment_5634893 Yeah, this was short and simple, but it was never boring. Buddy bled and bumped. Piper punched. Buddy got vicious on offense. The fans loved it. Given the spectacle of these guys working in front of a big Portland crowd, just six weeks after Wrestlemania, this will stand out more than many of our nominated matches. For me, it's an easy yes, even if it's only half a great match. 5/21/85 Extravaganza
