New Terry Rudge!! Really fun match with Rudge really laying into Buyten with uppercuts, forearms and headbutts. Buyten has a really good physical charisma and his comeback was a blast, he ties Rudge up in the ropes and just leaps on him, he also has great in ring topes and takes a nutty bump to the floor. Very cool stuff and quite a discovery

Fab contest between two of the best European workers of the 80s. Rudge had so much more scope to work in these German tournaments than he did on the crappy TV at the time and you can see why he was Regal's favourite worker, not only because of his style but because of his mannerisms and attention to detail. This was actually the first time I've heard Rudge speak and his Bedfordshire accent didn't quite match his asskicking image, but his hammerwork work sure did. Man, was he the king of the hammerlock. Van Buyten sold superbly as usual and provided his trademark comeback. I especially liked a desperation spot he did where he back body dropped Rudge over the top rope only for Rudge to re-enter the ring and kick his ass some more. The tiebreaker section of the match wasn't as good as the Lasartesse match as Rudge wasn't the theatrical type and I actually enjoyed the body of the match more, but it was still a treat to see these two go at it.
