Posted May 19, 201114 yr comment_5471434 All-Star Wrestling 1987 Tommy Rich v Art Washington Rich looked good, Washington looked untrained. Cool roll up finish Curt Hennig v Jim Evans Evans looked kind of untrained too, were they running a radio contest for jobbers or something? Hennig looked pissed, beat him with an jumping elbow and it looked like he wanted out of the ring Wahoo McDaniel/Tommy Rich/Jerry Blackwell v Adrian Adonis/The Original Midnight Express This had enough fun moments to be worth a nomination. With the talent involved I kind of wanted better, but Adonis was bumping around impressively and they had some nice battle of titans momented between Adonis and Blackwell. Wanted more Rich and Wahoo, but they looked good when they where in there. Sort of low end, but I will throw it out there for other folks Jerry Blackwell v Rick Gantner This would have been an awesome brawl a couple of years later when Gantner was Bull Pain, instead we got an awesome violent squash, with Blackwell wrecking Gantner. Maybe an extra Kevin Kelly/Nick Kiniski v Frankie DiFalco/Mike Richards Squash, Kelly had a nasty piledriver Wahoo McDaniel v Dennis Condrey This was part of the endless TV title tourney, Wahoo really brutalizes Condrey bumping him all over the ring, and does some especially nasty work on his hand, which Condrey and Dangerously sell great. Run in finish which was weak, and Condrey doesn't get a ton, but this put too big a smile on my face to at least not nominate
June 22, 201114 yr comment_5474760 Tommy Rich v. Art Washington Boy Washington looked like dog shit here. Rich did some cool shit but man this sucked. Curt Hennig v. Jim Evans Really quick squash. Wahoo McDaniel/Tommy Rich/Jerry Blackwell v Adrian Adonis/The Original Midnight Express Watched it already. Really cool music video outlining one of the street fight battle royals. I rally hope khawk has this on tape somewhere as this looked to have all sorts of cool shit including Blackwell looking insane and fat in overalls, Gagne and Hennig beating the shit out of each other, bloody as fuck Tommy Rich getting piledriven on the floor by Adrian Adonis, and Gagne showing up for a come as you are street fight in his University of Wyoming football jersey. I've seen this clip once before but it is fucking great shit. EXTRA Jerry Blackwell v. Rick Gantner Blackwell checking a Gantner kick was so fucking awesome words can't do it justice. Blackwell just fucking kills the future Bull Pain in this. Really entertaining. Kevin Kelly/Nick Kiniski v Frankie DiFalco/Mike Richards Blah. I fucking hate the Kelly/Kiniski combo that it is always entertaining to see what Madusa is wearing. Jerry Blackwell promo. Good stuff. Does a Hennig v. Blackwell match exist? Wahoo McDaniel v. Dennis Condrey Wahoo spitting on Paul E was awesome. At one point Condrey sells a shot to the leg with a faux seizure which was interesting. I really liked Wahoo attacking Condrey's fingers and Paul E was a lot of fun freaking out on the floor. Not sure what was up with Wahoo no selling three consecutive eyerakes but at least he sold the nut shot. Wahoo makes a comeback after a brief peil section with his own nutshot which was really sly and a true mark out moment. Paul E and Rose hit the ring for the DQ with Rich making the save. This was a fun match but we have better stuff from Wahoo and I'm not sure there is enough here to make a 150. If we end up going with a set of 125 almost certainly not.
