Kris said he nominated this, but I couldn't find a thread for it. Kris was not kidding about the stalling at the beginning of this being long as fuck, but I also thought it was epic and great shit. I dig all the flag bearer horseshit and the way they weave it together with the Youngbloods hamming it up holding the Puerto Rican flag makes it even better. The Herders absolutely great on the defensive here, great facial expressions, very solid stooging, and awesome bumping, including a crazy spot with Butch Miller (I think) crashing wildly into the crowd and security leaping over to make sure he didn't get beaten to death. Then the Herders switch seamlessly into ass kicking mode, stomping around the ring, hitting these awesome reverse elbows with incredible speed and working some fun double team tactics. It's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like Jay gets isolated on the floor and ends up getting his ass beat with a chair, at one point taking a wild whiplash bump across the floor. As this is going down you've got Boyd and random security running around ringside and it has a really chaotic feel to it. When the Youngbloods make their comeback all hell breaks loose, and one of the Herders does a wild over the top bump. Great finish here as Boyd distracts one of the Younbloods leaving the other for an ambush shot off the top leading to the fall. I thought this was pretty awesome stuff and the crazy post-match brawling only added to it. We don't have a ton of WWC from this era on the dock, but this feels like something that absolutely should make the set.

Oops I guess I forgot.

 

Los Pastores (Butch Miller & Luke Williams) vs. Jay & Mark Youngblood (September 1984)

 

There is a LONG stalling period here and I mean LONG. The match turned into a formula style tag match to a wild fucking brawl with both teams going all over ringside beating on each other followed up by false finishes and eventually Jonathan Boyd getting involved helping the Sheeps win. This was pretty fun and I'm passing this on as a low-end pick.

Los Pastores (Butch Miller & Luke Williams) vs. Jay & Mark Youngblood -

 

Holy shit, this was good. I LOVED the stalling segment. It was totally awesome with the Herders going nuts and the crowd trolling the fuck out of them and vice versa. They are waving the New Zealand flag everywhere and then the Youngbloods get a Puerto Rican flag from the front row and wave that. Then we have this awesome flag waving segment that draws tremendous heat. This finally leads into the match where the Herders are awesome still trying to stall and Mark and Jay are killing them with chops. The Herders are bumping wildly for everything and there's a great spot where Butch Miller retreats to the floor and fucking Mark throws him over the railing and into the crowd leading to a security guard flying over the railing to keep order so that Butch Miller isn't killed by the fans. We then have this great face shine segment where Mark and Jay work over Luke William's arm and it's fun as hell. Luke's turnbuckle bump is great. Meanwhile, Butch Miller is hilarious on the apron trolling the crowd. The Herders finally isolate Mark and Butch Miller is great here hitting a nice flying back elbow. Mark fights back but we the Herders fuck with Jay and use a stalling tactic so that Butch can crush Mark with a chair. This leads to a fucking awesome chaotic brawl on the floor, in the ring, and pretty much in the crowd. Mark keeps getting crushed with a chair then Jay takes a chair and kills Butch with it sending him flying into the crowd again. Mark and Luke have a great brawling exchange during all of this as well. The finish is great as there is total chaos and Boyd is shit stirring on the outside. Jay has an abdominal stretch in on Butch but Luke hits a top rope axhandle to the neck and the Herders get the win. The Youngbloods are pissed afterwards and we get a fucking crazy brawl with New Zealand flag jabbing and more chair shots. This was fucking awesome. EASY nomination.
