Posted July 26, 201213 yr comment_5511248 Tremendous match. This was far better than their MSG match. I can comfortably say this is a match I could see in someone's top 25. The heat segment was phenomenal in this. If North/South wrestled all of their matches like this they'd be one of the greatest short-lived tag teams for sure. Jack and Murdoch started off the match. Murdoch stooged for Jack and Jack did his step over into a figure four spot again which I love. Adrian and I think Jerry had some cool exchanges. Then they went to the floor where Adrian got whipped THROUGH the Boston Garden barricade. It was an absolutely ludicrous bump. Murdoch and Jack got back in again and The Briscos worked on Murdoch's arm. It was basically a Heel in Peril segment but it transitioned into an excellent and long FIP segment. Jack, I believe, was FIP. It's hard to tell the Briscos apart on a handheld. There were some really great hope spots in this. Jack got Adrian into a figure four but Murdoch reached his hand out and dragged Adrian by the hand to the ropes and tagged to stomp on Jack. That was awesome. Jerry kept trying to save Jack and fight with Adrian on the floor. So Adrian fucking CROTCHED Jerry on the barricade. That fucking ruled. Jack was left alone to fend for himself and eventually Jerry recovered back to the apron for the hot tag. However, once Jack tagged Jerry, Adrian and Murdoch immediately pummeled and savagely beat Jerry before he could even get in the ring. There were some tremendous near falls that followed afterwards with Jerry kicking out of the cattle pranting and brain buster. Jerry survived the onslaught and made the hot tag to Jack. Adrian took an absurd but awesome bump on the turnbuckle chest first as he was trying a high risk move and took a nasty fall to the mat. The finish is fucking great. Jack gets Murdoch in the figure four and The Briscos are about to win but the referee is distracted by Jerry who sees Adrian bring a wooden chair in the ring. Adrian fucking hits Jack in the leg mid-figure four with the chair's jagged end and Murdoch covers Jack for the win as Jerry almost makes the desperation save. This was a legitimately tremendous match. Extremely easy nomination. This is one of the best WWF tags of the 80s. Will and Phil, I think y'all are going to like this.
July 26, 201213 yr comment_5511311 Yeah this is an easy nomination and absolutely crushes the wildly overrated MSG match. This is also the best North/South match I've ever seen and a great performance from them. Devon covered all the hot points, but I would add that I thought the way the match built was perfect. The shine segment was awesome, with Adonis lunatic bump into the barricade being the highlight. North/South's heat segment was really great here as they unloaded everything on Jack and when he managed to tag out they immediately pummeled and kicked the fuck out of Gerry. The cattle branding/brainbuster combo ruled and was a great near fall and the run to the finish was great shit, with the nasty chair shot ending it. Great match. I think top 25 is reasonable.
March 12, 201312 yr comment_5538668 Yeah this was totally awesome a real hidden gem. Not a North/South fan, but this was much better structured then their NJ matches. Loved Murdoch unloading all of his stuff, and Adonis had some big bumps which fit within the match, rather then just showing off his stuff.
June 5Jun 5 comment_6030779 I watched it... 12 years later. ADRIAN ADONIS & DICK MURDOCH vs JACK BRISCO & JERRY BRISCO (01/05/1985; WWF Boston Garden; 00:13:32) - Murdoch couldn’t really generate any offense and got caught in a figure 4 so he quickly tags out. Adonis comes in and gets caught in the arm drags and then whipped into the rail and it collapses. Nice. Adonis reverses an arm lock and tags and Murdoch is quickly take down with the arm bar. Really solid work by the Briscoes working the arm. One thing about the Briscoes, the North South are so much bigger than them that its easy to ge the tag. North South finally take over and use their nasty offense including a knee drop from Dickie. North South are really keeping the pace up. Murdoch executes all of his best moves, the driving knee from the top rope, the brainbuster. Still can’t put em away. All the while, Adonis is staying active even when not the legal man. Awesome. This includes sing a chair to help Murdoch get the pin. STRONG NOMINATION … but I want to compare to the other matches from the 2 teams.
