Posted August 13, 201510 yr comment_5691797 This match is really awesome. Marty and I will be reviewing it on the next Tag Teams Back Again podcast. Fantastic work from everyone, Beefer and Zed Man included. The finish is original and I really dug it. I'm at work now so I'll elaborate later. If anyone wants to check it out it's on Dailymotion. Search for Best of the WWF volume 11. It's the first match on the tape after Gene's intro. Highly recommended

November 4, 20159 yr comment_5708594 Dream Team vs Can-Ams – MSG 1/19/87 Was looking for this forever and my main man, Ricky Jackson, found it and we reviewed it on Tag Teams Back Again #8. Ricky Martel and Tom Zenk may look similar, but Martel has so much more pep in his step that is differentiates him from Zenk. Standard WWF babyfaceshine using the armbar as base. I have always like the spot where they roll through bodyslam and maintain the armbar. Valentine fights back, but cant get anything going. Zenk is in and then Beefer, BOOOOOOOO. Beefcake takes an atomic drop and so does Valentine pinballing him into Martel TIMBBBAAAAAAAH! Martel back to arm, but Valentine drops him throat first on rope and Beefer goes to town. Dream Team double team Martel. Martel scores a big blow, but as Valentine falls down he grabs Martel’s wrist and pulls him with him to his corner. AWESOME SPOT!!! Beefer is at his peak as a work with great movement off a chinlock that was exciting. Then Valentine and Martel just have it out. Martel hits with Lawler like fists of fury! Valentine romps and stomps his way back into control. Suplex into a weird cover that was just lackadaisical and un Valentine like. Beefcake bearhug. Valentine figure-4 inside cradle. Slugfest in corner! Martel crawls over to Zenk. Zenk dropkicks and now double noggin knocker, but Beefer hits clothesline. They work the washboard abs of Zenk. Valentine ab stretch, gut buster and steps on Zenk on his way to tagging Beefer. Bruti tries to hold him down, but Zenk bridges out. Beefer crotches himself on Zenk’s knees tags in Valentine. Collision. Beefer rolls Valentine on top, but only for two. Do two false tags and Martel is PISSED! He throwing strikes but keeps getting forced out. He takes a couple cheapshots because of his frustrations. When Hammer put Zenk in the Figure-4, he launched himself across the ring and looks similar enough to Zenk to get the win! AWESOME MATCH! ****
February 2, 20223 yr comment_5974382 Really cool in a rather simple way kind of match. Greg Valentine in the zone here, I strongly recommend this one if you’re a fan of Greg. Beefcake not really strong on some important moments, including the big transition toward Martel’s hot tag. Zenk not so great either, I would I like to see stiffer dropkicks from him here as an example. The finish is quite weird, so ok the referee didn’t recognized Martel… I like it better with the killer bees putting their mask on. So yeah, a nice match, makes me want to see more from Martel tag team run in WWF, and Valentine in high profile match please. *** ½
