Posted August 6, 200718 yr comment_5420232 Tim Horner vs. Sonny Rogers (2/2/83) Horner looked real good in this. This ended in a DQ because Rogers used a karate thrust to the throat, weak. Hacksaw Duggan vs. Joe Stark (2/2/83) Duggan kills him. Kamala vs. Buddy Landell (2/2/83) Budro the jobber with black hair gets destroyed. Tony Atlas vs. Kelly Kiniski (2/2/83) Atlas wins easily. Handicap Match: Andre the Giant vs. Mike Bond & Tom Renesto Jr. (2/2/83) You can guess what happens here. Junkyard Dog & Mr. Wrestling II vs. Don Bass & Marty Lunde (2/2/83) Borne & DiBiase come out and ask Don Bass & Marty Lunde to buy out their contracts which they do but as soon as the match gets started it becomes 4-on-2 and a wild brawl with JYD & II being up everyone. Iron Mike Sharpe vs. Art Crews (2/2/83) Funny thing about this match is Watts putting over a great LSU amateur heavyweight wrestler from Canada named John Tenta. This wasn’t a bad match. Mr. Wrestling II vs. Mike Bond (2/2/83) II is pissed about his shit getting defaced so he takes it out on Bond. Hacksaw Duggan vs. Art Crews (2/2/83) Nothing much here. Iron Mike Sharpe vs. Kelly Kiniski (2/2/83) The battle of Canadians wasn’t that good. Buddy Landell & Joe Stark vs. Tom Renesto Jr. & Sonny Rogers (2/2/83) Watts loved putting his jobbers against each other to let the fans see them work competently and that was great. Mid-South Tag Titles: Matt Borne & Ted DiBiase © vs. Andre the Giant & Tony Atlas (2/2/83) This was very rare at the time because Andre didn’t wrestle for titles. This was a pretty good little match before Duggan & Kamala interfered. Kamala even gets a bodyslam on Andre. Junkyard Dog vs. Marty Lunde (2/2/83) Lunde just doesn’t have enough. Tim Horner vs. Don Bass (2/2/83) This was an okay match but Horner almost hurt Bass bad trying to back drop him as Bass landed on the back of his head.

October 22, 200717 yr comment_5423019 Mr. Wrestling II vs. Mike Bond (2/2/83) II is pissed about his shit getting defaced so he takes it out on Bond. I skipped past this as I tend to skip jobber matches. But "takes it out"=punishes? Because I've never seen sadistic punishing II, and I may need to go back and watch that.
