Posted February 9, 200817 yr comment_5427982 Pretty unbelievable that on a show with Garvin v. Flair, this was the stiffer match. T.A. is throwing Necro Butcher level punches, and Ole seems to be potating him in the back of the head and even hits an awesome mafia kick. Force behind everything they did. Goes 20+ on TV I could see this being a top 20 match in a 80-85 NWA set. WWE 24/7
July 18, 201411 yr comment_5613391 This is a high end nomination. Man I loved Ole's downward punches. I also loved the rabbit punches from Ole. This was a back and forth backroom brawl. Magnum brings a ton of intensity and throws some wicked punches. The presentation was so great too. This is why wrestling is so great.
January 14, 20169 yr comment_5720457 US Heavyweight Title: Magnum TA © vs. Ole Anderson Magnum starts off strong but Ole would gain control and would of course focus on Magnum's left arm. Ole is vicious working over the arm using headbutts and such but Magnum comes firing back with right hands until Ole sucker punches him down to the mat. Magnum then tries working over Ole's left arm but that doesn't last long as Ole uses roughhouse tactics to make Magnum miserable. This is now turning into a grueling battle with both men taking turns working over the other one and both being weakened from the punishment. Ole throwing Magnum shoulder first into the ringpost seemed like a key spot but Ole didn't work over the arm and just went with a reverse chinlock as Arm comes to ringside to cheer him on. Dusty then walks out to cheer on Magnum which sparks him to make a comeback where he gets a big nearfall after a back blow. The fans are going nuts for everything as it seemed like Magnum is in trouble after a nearfall after a big boot by Ole. Ole then tries for a piledriver which gets countered and Magnum comes back with a dropkick for a nearfall. Again this becomes back and forth with both men giving as good as they were getting featuring a big match quality that you rarely got on TBS these days. Magnum had Ole pinned when the bell rang signifying a draw but Jim Crockett came out and said that this match must end on a pinfall or submission so they restarted the match with Ole going back to work on Magnum then Arn would trip up Magnum prompting Dusty to attack him and Magnum got Ole in an O'Connor Roll to win the match. This was a total blast and an easy nomination.
