Posted April 12, 201114 yr comment_5469770 This is odd as Rogers sells the whiplash of a criss cross spot or something early? On the plus side the evil Arab has "OIL" on the ass of his trunks which is pretty great. Rogers works the arm in a pretty decent fashion. He barely got over on a leapfrog but that actually made the follow up dropkick look better. The high knee Rogers took to set up the heat segment ruled and the Sheiks' cross ring diving fist drop was impressive. Rogers has a brief flurry that includes a nice suplex, but goes back on the defensive and eats a double knee drop to his back. Rogers gets caught with an airplane spin into a Samoan Drop for the finish. This was a lot better than I would have guessed. Edit: Decided to nominate this after all, as it falls under the curiosity category with a young Rogers and it seems like something others should watch.

But it's probably too slight to register much with people judging a set. It's a no for me but not by much. PP #9 8/21/82
