I liked the story of this match as Diamond keeps concentrating on the leg, but Debeers keeps countering and Diamond is to stubborn to change tactics. Bockwinkel is on commentary for this and really adds to the match by pointing out the flaw in that thinking by diamond. This match has a wild through the ropes bump from Diamond and a couple of crazy Debeers bumps wildly face planting, flying over the top off of a dropkick and then sailing over the barricade where Diamond hits a plancha which was cool as shit in this setting. Back in the ring Debeers gets leg pressed in the corner back over the top again for another big bump but then the match gets tossed out. The first half of this was merely solid, but the last few minutes put it in contention.

Col. DeBeers vs. Paul Diamond (8/26/89)

 

Wait a minute DeBeers comes out to Welcome to the Jungle as well that's odd. DeBeers starts out strong working over Diamond with headlocks until Diamond got the advantage and focused on DeBeers' left leg. DeBeers would work his way out of jams but Diamond was like a pitbull working over the left leg even prompting Nick Bockwinkel on color commentary to say that maybe it's time to try something else. Diamond would go for a leapfrog but DeBeers would headbutt him right in the ribs in a cool spot but Diamond would fight back tying up DeBeers in the ropes but missed a running smash and took a hard bump to the floor. This became a bumping battle as DeBeers would tag a big bump over the top himself off a dropkick then went flying over the barricade after a sliding dropkick before eating an insane plancha by Diamond from the ring to the floor. DeBeers to his credit continued to fight back before Diamond sent him over the top rope again for another wild bump which DeBeers took as his chance to leave. The referee then called this a DDQ for no fucking reason and this whole finish was fucking terrible. This had some really fun moments but that finish was so shitty that it kills it as a nomination to me.
