This is another one of the matches that I gave the benefit of the doubt coming in because on paper this seems like something people would want to vote for given the odd and interesting combination of talent involved. I will say that I think these matches being broken up by short segments hurts the flow a bit, but if you skip ahead it's clear not much is missing. This was a good, hot, exciting, tv match. Kroffat in particular was the stand out as he was both a great stooge and fun on offense. The opening shine was good, the heel beat down on Youngblood was well done, got good heat and featured some cool spots (I loved the leapfrog/lariat combo from the Jayhawks and the bit with him hanging upside down in the corner while being beaten looked good), the hot tag itself was well timed and appropriately theatrical and the "all hell breaks loose" finish was solid too. Good match, not out of this world, and not something that I would rate in the upper tier or even close, but I can't see a good reason not to nominate it and I would lean strongly in favor of including it on the set.

 

*Low end mainly because I don't see it as something that would finish super high on my ballot, but I struggle to come up with a good reason for leaving it off of a set.

The Renegade Warriors (Chris & Mark Youngblood) & The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers, Dan Kroffat, Kendo Nagasaki, & Mr. Pogo (May 1988)

 

This is quite the match and the fans are pretty hot for the action. The match is worked like you would expect as the faces get offense early with everyone tagging in and out then the rudos would isolate Chris Youngblood taking turns working him over legally and illegally. Chris would get the hot tag to Robert before all 8 men were brawling in the ring and a double dropkick would finish off Kroffat. Fun for what it was.
