Posted November 29, 20186 yr comment_5872396 The Rat Pack (Mid-South tag champs) face JYD and Dusty Rhodes in a non title match. Available on the Network, Vault, WWE Hidden Gems, 1983. "The Common Man's Best Friend". Never before seen footage. Talk about it here
November 30, 20186 yr comment_5872428 Super hot opening with the crowd going nuts. It settles down and the faces are standing tall. Heels just feeding and bumping for the American Dream. Heels gain control for a sec, but Dusty turns the tide. Love Dusty walking on top of Teddy to make the tag to the Dog. A super fun shine that the crowd reacts to. The faces set up the Lucha Star while row row rowing the boat. Finally Dusty runs into a knee. The heels have a methodical heat. They're using knees, punches, elbows etc. overall fun stuff. 3*
December 2, 20186 yr comment_5872505 This is simply unfair - way too much charisma for Ted & Borne to deal with. Just a wonderful, fun matchup giving the fans want they want. Wish I could go back in time and be in the building.
May 17, 20214 yr comment_5952227 The crowd reactions for JYD and Dusty are incredible. Sometimes in wrestling, you just want to see the heels get what's coming to them and that happens here in a very one-sided but highly entertaining match. I don’t think a modern promotion would put on a match of this type, especially involving headliners, for fear of criticisms of the heels getting buried. That's a shame because this is a satisfying match that hits all the right emotional buttons and plays off something as simple as seeing the villain, or villains in this case, receive some long-awaited payback. It’s a lot of fun, and recommended for sure. Here's a link to my full review, as part of the 365 Wrestling project.
