“Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer & “Mr. Unpredictable” Dick Slater vs. The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) (10/27/85)

 

Sawyer & Slater trying to pull the Fants in the ring as they were kissing chicks at ringside was great. Both teams look great here tagging in and out, doing double teams, working the ref to their advantage, good stuff. Dark Journey of course gets involved scratching Rogers and kicking him in the back. Rogers was fucking awesome here as the face in peril as he took quite the beating from Sawyer & Slater but kept on coming back. Fulton comes in like a house of fire and the 4-way brawl is on but the heels use a modified Hart Attack to get the win. Great fast paced back and forth match and I’m throwing this on the nominee block.

This was a really cool match. The Fantastics have the early advantage and do some great arm work while makeing quick tags with one another. The crowd was way hot for this barn burner. The criss cross with Rogers and Sawyer was so freakin fast. Rogers looked like he was going 100 MPH. The work was a little sloppy in spots, but not enough to take away from how exciteing this match was. The running suplex by Sawyer was really cool. The near tags from Rogers were well done. All four wrestlers did a good job here. I think this should make a disk.

Very similar to the Houston Guerreros-Fans match in which Rogers takes a hellacious beating the entire match only for Fulton to lose the match in the end. Sawyer's extended suplex on Rogers was awesome as was the finish. Yes vote from me.

Sawyer and Slater are a brutal fucking tag team, they were killing the Fantastics here. Sawyer especially, even Dark Journey was working stiff. Awesome finish, and this should make a list. Totally hurt by lack of crowd noise though.

This belongs on a set. Annoying as fuck that we don't have crowd noise but still belongs on a set. Slater and Buzz are a great tag team and just a nasty nasty finish.
