Posted July 19, 201114 yr comment_5477113 This is the full version of the Starrcage 85 match. I wrote up some of it before but I'm gonna repeat myself in saying this is a good match. I actually liked the early Larry stuff better on first watch and the Curt shine stuff was a lot of fun with the Warriors working hard to make him look good. Hennig's escape on the gorilla press and hope spot near fall fucking ruled hard on second watch as well and the cut off spots were really well done. Curt takes some really awesome Curt style bumps in this and he makes a fucking great FIP for the Warriors. Loved the hot tag with Larry coming in off of a big Animal bump onto Curt's knees on a splash attempt. Curt comes right back in and hits his diving dropkick for a near fall that Ellering breaks up. Ellering gets pulled into the ring by Larry and the match gets thrown out. I was hoping this match would have more to it, but it is still good enough to nominate.

Curt/Larry Hennig Low End Nomination - AWA Super Mix #38: The AWA on World Pro Vol. 5 - The Roadies offense is fine but face Hennig selling like death really makes this match. Such a great, sympathetic babyface. When the Axe gets the hot tag, he looks big enough to go toe to toe with the Roadies but after being pounded on for ten minutes, Curt gets right back in the ring. Eh, fun match but I agree with the low-nomination. If we were short on matches, this could make it on but on a set with plenty of nominations, we can leave this off.
