Posted June 18, 201114 yr comment_5473651 Larry Zbyszko v. Butch Cooper One of the most straight forward Larry squashes I have ever seen. Larry Z promo asking for a fair shot at his title. Brad Rheingans v. Bill Tabb Tabb was playing strongman prick here and Rheingans got to do some fun offensive stuff but not enough to make this stand out. Rheingans promo. Scott LeDoux promo. Silo Sam video package. Is Silo Sam Big John? This is hilarious and great with him walking around the farm carrying cows and shit. EXTRA Midnight Rockers v. Pablo Crenshaw/Eddie Sweat Marty is selling the ribs from a previous match v. Somers and Rose. Crenshaw is actually a solid hand and a guy I would have liked to see get a shot. Michaels fucking kills Sweat with a punch at one point and then the poor guy gets dropped badly on two botched double teams that looked horrificly brutal. Midnight Rockers promo. Col. Debeers v. Robert Burrough Low key Debeers beating/ Debeers promo. Man all of these are at least entertaining. More bashing of Hall for being a roid head. Jimmy Snuka/Greg Gagne v. Nord The Barbarian/Bruiser Brody This is the Wrestlerock Cage Match.
August 12, 201114 yr comment_5479394 All-Star Wrestling on ESPN 10/5/86 ~Larry Zbyszko v Butch Cooper Fairly uneventful squash, but the promo after the match where Larry asks what he has to do for a shot at the title should be a definite EXTRA. Great promo, almost babyface if he wasn't jawing with fans. ~Brad Rheingans v Bill Tabb Tabb gets a lot more offense than most guys against Rheingans, and the match suffers because of it. Usually Brad gets to show off cool mat stuff and other throws, but here he gave Tabb like 70% of the match, and Tabb was kinda brushing off his offense like it was nothing, which was just odd. ~Awesome promo video for a giant named Silo Sam (who was in Pee Wee's Big Adventure!!) who I wish we could have seen wrestle. I doubt he would be good at all, but this guy actually looked like a giant. Just a mammoth white dude with a beard and a huge belly. The Big Show might be as big as this guy, but this guy actually had the presence of a giant. I love wrestling for this kinda stuff. ~The Midnight Rockers v Pablo Crenshaw/Eddie Sweat Man there were a couple ugly blown spots in this one. One looked like the Rockers fault (Michaels did a drop down, Sweat jumped over him and Jannetty's timing was all kinds of messed up and he just jumped right into Sweat), the other I couldn't tell. Michaels was suplexing Sweat, with Jannetty supposed to be doing a crossbody, but either Michaels couldn't hold Sweat up or Sweat collapsed on himself or...something. It looked bad and it was the finish. The lone bright spot was Crenshaw who I've never seen before but looked really, really good, not like a jobber at all. Great build and took an insanely high backdrop. ~Col. DeBeers v Robert Burroughs Short for a DeBeers squash but I loved his post match promo calling out Scott Hall for using anabolic steroids. Jimmy Snuka/Greg Gagne v Bruiser Brody/Nord the Barbarian – Cage Match from WrestleRock at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN 4/20/86 I really liked this a lot but not sure if others did. Greg looked really fiery here and it was fun watching him run into big boots. Crowd was hot for Snuka and the match was exciting with great heat. I can see this getting nominated and would gladly push it forward if someone else wanted it pushed.
