Continental Heavyweight Title: "Beautiful" Buddy Landell © vs. "Wildcat" Wendell Cooley (3/23/87)

 

Mr. Wrestling II who is back in the area and is a babyface is on commentary with Solie here. Fun action to start here with Cooley being fiery and Landell bumping and selling hard. Landell would take it to the floor to get the advantage as he posted him then peppered him with punches which brings out the juice. Landell is fun here working over Cooley while being a dick about it. Cooley would make a comeback and sent Landell to the floor where he posted him in revenge then kicked him in the balls. Landell is now juicing with Cooley working over the cut viciously while trying to get the pin. Landell would get pissed off and decked referee Roy George who called for the bell. Cooley gets pissed by that and tossed Roy to the floor while both men beat the shit out of each other with punches. Jobbers came from the back and they got nailed in the process then the Shogun came out and went after Cooley. The jobbers then joined in and pounded on Cooley before Wrestling II ran to the ring and cleaned house hitting the Million-Dollar Kneelift on Shogun sending him flying. Cooley grabbed a fan's cane and used it on Landell. Then we get promos from both afterwards. Very fun match that was a nomination on it's own and the post match sealed the deal. This moves forward fairly easily.

At 1st I thought this was a solid nomination. After the post match it gets bumped up to a high end nomination. We star with some early Landell schtick which really gets to Cooley. Cooley is so full of fire here made even better with Landell's bumping and selling. Landell does a good job working over Cooley on the floor, and Cooley is busted open. I loved Landell working over the bloody Cooley. Cooley makes the comeback and just kills Landell on the floor. The ref gets knocked out and we have a wild post match melee. Man this was awesome.
