Talk about it here.

Two minutes of highlights of a Mid South Coliseum cage match, which has Buddy Landell getting into the cage and attacking Dundee. The match only lasted about 9 minutes total, so I don't feel so bad about missing a potentially great match.

Isn't the point of a cage match to keep people out? Oh well not in Memphis.

Don’t like DQ’s happening in Cage matches. Landell enters the cage a bit too easily and helps Rich beat up on Dundee.

Buddy Landell jumps in for a 2 on 1 attack on Dundee and non-finish. Its a shame we don't have the footage to swap in a lot of MSC matches for studio segments.

All seemed pretty lame and tepid, to be honest. On top of all the other DQ bullshit, why bother having a ref bump if he's just going to wake up and call for the bell anyway?

The only notable part of this was that Landell attacked Dundee. Most Memphis fans remember the two of them making Lawler's life miserable in the summer of '86. At one point, they got so obnoxious that Lance and Dave refused to call their matches or interview them, so they took over the TV for at least a week. I know there was some kind of payoff to that, but I forget what it was at the moment. Anyway, I wonder if Buddy will mention it on interviews going forward.

 

Neighbors getting knocked out was typical Memphis, and I'm used to it. But over two minutes with no hint of a save from any of the faces was a little too long. I'm guessing that Lawler and Jeff were too involved in their own stuff to worry much about Dundee, and I can't think of who else would have made the save for him.

Typical mid-feud heel win in Memphis really.  They carry it off well enough, but sometimes I think it would be better just to skip to the blowoff match with knowledge of how the heel won in the middle rather than watch all of the screwy endings.
