Posted July 27, 201114 yr comment_5477926 Larry Zbyszko v. Don Muraco Pretty sure this is from 89. Anyway this was really boring. Seriously the only thing of note that happened was the finish with the brawling on the floor. I'm really starting to wonder why Muraco was ever considered a good wrestler. Badd Company v. Mando/Hector Guerrero Opening with Diamond and Mando had a top this feel. Mando's backbreaker was sick, but I like Diamond coming back and muscling him. Diamond also took a cool dropkick over the top to the floor which featured a really great "holy shit face" from Tanaka on the apron. Tanaka coming in and doing karate poses only for Hector to retaliate by doing his roll around the ring bit as Tanaka cowered was fucking hysterical. Weird moment with Tanaka easing out of the way of a diving headbutt from Hector. Not really a botch, but it was a close call. Mando controls Tanaka with a headlock and they work some good shit out of it, while the camera gives cut shots of DDP tinkering with what appears to be a foreign object at ringside. Spot with the Guerreros working there splash circus was less effective here than I have ever seen it before. Mando hits a really awesome vaulting press off of Hector for a near fall. In the chaos that follows Tanaka accidentally decks Diamond with the object Page had the Guerreros win, the ref finds the foreign object on the Guerreros overturning the decision. I liked this better than the first match I saw between these two teams but it still felt disappointing. Still it feels like something others might like more than me so I'll pass it on. Wahoo McDaniel v. Nick Bockwinkel JIP. Great four minute finishing run with a stupid finish. Does this exist in full? Please say yes. Destruction Crew v. New Fantastics No clue if this is from 89 or 90 so I watched it. Anyway this was rough around the edges in parts, but a good match. Enos was fun bumping and stooging very well for a guy his size. I liked the heat section on Bobby a good bit and his escape of the Devastation Device looked really good. Hot tag generated some cool stuff but then the finish with Johnny V really sucked. Nikita Koloff v. Larry Zbyszko This is definitely from 1990.

A no-dq match is listed on the AWA Raw Footage 3/83 - 12/83 discs. It'll be fuller than that one if it's the same.
July 27, 201114 yr Author comment_5477949 The No DQ match may be the more complete one we have that is a number one contender and is definitely Raw Footage. But that has a definitive finish.
