Posted December 29, 201212 yr comment_5524369 US Heavyweight Title: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes © vs. "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton (1/26/88) Eaton is great here bumping like a madman for Dusty who was always great against the Memphis style heels. Dusty is in full flip flop and fly mode and the crowd is losing their shit. Corny would have to distract Tommy Young allowing Eaton to use the tennis racket for him to get the advantage and when he did Eaton was relentless on the attack especially on Dusty's left knee. Dusty would hit a fucking insane looking DDT on the floor as a hope spot with him falling forward with Bobby as he was selling his knee giving out and Bobby hit all floor. Bobby to his credit though got right back up and kept going and it would turn into a slugfest ending up with Corny throwing some knux in the ring but Dusty would get them and used them to KO Bobby for the win. Corny told Tommy Young about this and he saw it before reversing the decision. Very fun sprint and I'll throw it on the block.
July 24, 201411 yr comment_5614364 I'll give this a low-end nomination. This had a lot going for it. First off was Eaton's bumping. He might be the best bumper of the 80's. He even eats a DDT on the floor which was a holy shit moment, then a WTF why aren't we selling this as death. Another thing I loved how Cornette and Eaton attacked that leg and Dusty selling it big. Then it gets shit canned toward the finish. Still the good outweighs the bad. NWA Superbouts 2/20 & 3/5/88
