Posted April 1, 201114 yr comment_5468796 Tiny Anderson v. Tommy Rogers Rogers did some fun takedowns and his finishing splash looked great but the rest of this kind of sucked. Rip Oliver v. Sandy Barr Interesting match as this is a ten minute challenge with Oliver having to take two falls in that time period. The opening of this is all on the mat with some decent looking exchanges, a monkey flip, et. Nothing great but they were active and it was spirited. Barr goes to the floor to kill some clock but when he comes back in he gets punched in the face. Oliver chucks bar over the top for a big bump. Oliver takes a fall with a sick backbreaker with about two minutes left. The stretch of this felt really flat with two much stalling and Barr being on offense at the finish was kind of stupid. Eh. Buddy Rose/Rip Oliver promo. David Schultz/Dizzy Hogan v. Brett Sawyer/Rocky Johnson (2/3 Falls) First fall was not terribly impressive though Rocky's finishing run before the fall was pretty cool. Cool spot in the beginning of the second fall with Hogan posing after breaking a hold and getting dropkicked over the top. Boy Rocky Johnson is a really boring FIP. By the time they lose the second fall I'm wishing the whole match was over. Third fall sucked too up until the angle with Rose running in and costing the heels. Not a good match. Buddy Rose tries to recruit Dr. D. Schultz is funny as shit reacting to him. EXTRA Dr. D post-match promo. Curt Hennig promo on Rose. Chris Adams v. Buddy Rose (2/3 Falls) Rose is a this douchey best earlier, doing push ups, cartwheeling away from a monkey flip and celebrating, slapping Adams, jawing with fans, just all the staples of his greatness. Rose does the cartwheel bit again and takes a slap of his own for a great revenge spot and Adams takes over on the arm. Rose backs into a corner and takes back over and it is done so organically it is really impressive. Nice reversal and a super kick! Tombstone on Rose! Awesome ending to the first fall. Second fall sees Adams start with a headlock base. Rose eventually back suplexes out and takes over. Really nice near fall off of a delayed vertical suplex from Buddy. Adams goes for a a reverse crossbody but Rose rolls through a gets a quick equalizing fall. Third fall starts with Buddy being methodical including one of the most deliberate and prickish looking backslides I've ever seen. Seriously he made a backslide look like an expression of egotistical excess. Adams gets a good near fall on a sunset flip and Adams is back up and taking over. Buddy sits up and sits right into a superkick and then takes an awesome delayed flip bump into the rope. Adams went for another superkick but Rose held the ropes and avoided it. They battle for a suplex and Adams wins but only gets a near fall. Double knockdown spot with Rsoe falling on top of Adams for a near fall. Adams blocks an atomic drop attempt and hits one of his own and then a really great looking backward roll for an incredible near fall. Adams follows up with a backslide and small package for two more near falls. Adams goes for a running kick into the corner but Buddy moves and Adams takes a big time bump that the announcers sell as death. Buddy grabs his "injured" leg but ends up taking an enziguri knocking Rose to the floor and Adams ends up following up with a sweet tope. Rose rolls back into the ring with a sign stuck to his back but beats the count and wins the final fall via countout. This was a match that started good and slowly morphed into great.
