Posted February 16, 201411 yr comment_5588245 Ken Patera vs. Kerry Von Erich (8/2/81) This is another cool matchup. Kerry is starting to let his hair grow out and getting bigger while Patera is at the peak of his career physically. Patera tries to use his power to showoff early but Kerry hit him with a sweet dropkick then took him to the mat and frustrates Patera enough for him to go to the floor to get a breather. Patera uses shortcuts to get the advantage on Kerry but Kerry is very pesky and gives the battle to Patera. Kerry would work over Patera's bad knee but Ken would send him to the floor and gave him an atomic drop before duking out with Kerry on the floor then taking it to the ring. Patera couldn't put him away though and Kerry would lock on the sleeper from the apron before going for the iron claw with a minute left to go in the match. Kerry would then get a sunset flip for a nearfall then Patera would get an inside cradle for a nearfall of his own before Kerry threw the discus punch followed up by an O'Connor Roll as the bell rang. Very good 10 minute sprint here as both men looked really strong and this is a fairly easy nomination.
