Posted April 27, 201114 yr comment_5470495 TNT vs. Tony Falk (May 1988) TNT wins but Falk gives him a run for his money here. Ron Starr vs. Armando Salgado (May 1988) Easy win for Starr. WWC TV Title: The Invader © vs. "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers (May 1988) Good back and forth action to start before Jaggers locked on a reverse chinlock to take the advantage. Jaggers worked this chinlock for what seemed like forever before trying to pin Invader using the ropes. Invader tried to come back but Jaggers would go right back to that chinlock before it turned into a slugfest with Invader making his comeback before the battle went to the floor where of course both men would be counted out. Damn was Jaggers really boring here with that damn chinlock. Hercules Ayala vs. Random guy (June 1988) Sound is very bad here. Next we get Chicky Starr's Sports Shop with Afa & Sika. Chicky Starr vs. Random guy (June 1988) Squash. Dutch Mantell vs. Random guy (June 1988) Squash. Then we get clips of a Colon/Danny Spivey match.
June 30, 201312 yr comment_5549517 The Invader vs. Jaggers match could be a follow-up on the post match attack Jaggers did after the Black Ninja/Invader streetfight. Afa and Sika on the Sports Shop sounds weird.

Falk getting the upper hand and then trying to attack TNT's head and selling the damage to his hand was great. TNT's spinning kick looked awesome too. Fun squash. Ron Starr vs. Armando Salgado This is actually JIP which is kind of nuts. I mean I can't think of a single reason why this match would have needed to be edited on the front end, but there you have it. Salgado actually got a lot of this which isn't all that surprising as he got offense often. Starr was really a good wrestler at this point. The way he commanded a match, his bumping, the way he ate simple offense like punches, his offense in general. Really underrated guy. He busted out an armdrag through the ropes in this which was really nuts. This was nothing special really, but another solid match. The Invader © vs. "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers This is easily the most infuriating match I've watched. You give these guys thirteen minutes on tv and you would assume worst case scenario this would be a match with a decent shot of making the set. Instead Jaggers was Don Muraco-level "I don't give a fuck" here. I mean Invader was clearly trying at times but Jaggers was just having none of it. I have no problem with using a chinlock as a base, but you had better at least work the hold and/or come up for some impact spots here or there and he didn't do dick all. Crazily disappointing match. Rest of this was skippable including the sports shop. Opening of show two is nuts as you have the Starr's holding court in the ring and wrapping Invader up in barbed wire from head to toe. Completely nuts angle here that should be an EXTRA Finish of Ayala screwing TNT in a match and the reversal post match is shown The squashes and sports shop segments weren't much. Dan Spivey v. Carlos Colon This was in black and white, which is good because it spares me the neon glare of Spivey's pants. This was actually a pretty good Colon carry job. Spivey is just awkward as fuck in this as all of his movements and a lot of his offense looks really "off." Colon still does his best to take Spivey's stuff well, though the FIP is partially eaten by a clip. Colon comes back and takes Spivey to the floor where he bloodies him with a posting, smashes him into a scaffold and then goes to work on the cut. The ref is hilarious during the brawl on the floor as he is in full blown panic mode trying to separate the guys. Next thing you know shit starts to get really scary with fans swarming around with chairs and kicking at Spivey. Spivey falls to the ground with the match presumably thrown out and then the image pans to an interview with two midgets. Holy fuck what a random outro. This is something I wouldn't be averse to making the set, but I wouldn't fight for it either, so I won't nominate it.
