[1983-11-18-Houston Wrestling] Two Ring Battle Royal

I thought this was a really fun battle royal . It was also really well booked to set up the major show in 2 nights. I like the 2 ring battle royal premise. I liked the story of how no one liked the russian Nikolai Volkoff. I loved Reed using a crutch on JYD to set up the paint the loser yellow stip.Big John Studd gets over by stalling. The Dusty/Nikolai interactions set up their match the next night. I loved that Nikolai won the 1st ring. Mary Oates a great wrestler, but and underneath talent wins the 2nd one. Marty Oates is the future Marty Jannetty. Volkoff just destroys Oates in the final to cement him as a monster heel. We get some really good promos afterward. 3*
