Loser Gets 20 Lashes: "Wildfire" Tommy & Johnny "Crash" Rich vs. The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) (10/21/85)

 

Rich's come out to Wild Eyed Southern Boy by .38 Special which is great. Starts out with a brawl but settles into a normal southern tag match. Rich's are very fun here taking control with Tommy being very agile and Johnny cranking a nice headlock. Nightmares of course are great bumpers and sellers and the basically the perfect southern tag heel opponents. Johnny gets isolated and gets his ass kicked with the Nightmares working fast and furious here including a perfect gourdbuster by Danny Davis. Johnny's plight to get the hot tag was very fun and then Tommy gets in and runs wild with a 4-way brawl going on. Ken Wayne had a great bump over the top to the floor off a Wildfire punch before Danny Davis rolled up Tommy which Johnny stopped the referee at 2 and pointed out that was the wrong Nightmare. The ref then stopped and Tommy rolled up Davis to get the win. Davis gets handcuffed to the post and the Rich's lay the leather on until Wayne fouls Rich and nails the referee. He gets the key and unlocks Davis then puts the handcuffs on Tommy but Johnny stops that. This went about 10 minutes but was a total blast and a nomination to me.

This was a low-end nomination to me. I'm a huge mark for this stip. We open up with a quick brawl to start, but it settles down into your Southern Tag. We start out with Tommy Rich doing the shine. This was alright but nothing exceptional. The Nightmares are good at eating rich's stuff, but it was little ho hum. I love Johnny's punches , but eventually he's cut off and becomes the FIP. The Nightmares work over his gut area playing into the injury. This was done and such a douchey move. Crash makes the hot tag and we Tommy is great here. We move onto a pretty fun fucked up finish. Post match was great. Low-end nomination.
