Posted May 5, 201312 yr comment_5543966 "Mr. Unpredictable" Dick Slater vs. Bruiser Bob Sweetan (March 1982) Sweetan attacks Dick at the bell and this is a total brawl which is helped by both men's selling here. Slater goes to work on Sweetan's left leg setting up the figure-four but Sweetan would kick him into the corner where he would follow up trying to get the piledriver on Slater. The babyface locker room would surround the ring to cheer on Slater who comes back throwing some great headbutts then just jacks Bob's jaw with punches. The heel locker room would come out next making this a defacto lumberjack match as Slater hits a backdrop suplex knocking them both out. This has become a war of atrition as both men are trying to recover from what the other dished out before Slater got the figure-four on Sweetan who is near the ropes and grabs them to break the hold. Slater then goes for a piledriver himself but Sweetan backdrops him then ties him up in the ropes where he follows with a shoulderblock. Sweetan keeps up the pressure hitting some big elbows setting up the piledriver but Slater again stops him. Slater hits a big side suplex but still can't put Sweetan away and this is a slugfest with both men just nailing each other as TV time runs out. Fantastic action here and this is a definite nomination.
