Posted August 22, 200718 yr comment_5420976 I remembered thinking this would go on when I saw it without a finish. The finish wasn't very good, but three amazing superkicks and a great bump by Kerry makes it a nomination at least
August 22, 200718 yr comment_5420998 I've always enjoyed their matches together and this is no exception. I felt that Kerry ate Adams's superkick better than anybody. Adams took some nice bumps. Two in particular that stood out were his over the top rope bump off of Kerry's discuss punch, and his bump from the top rope off of a punch from Kerry. Not to be outdone, Kerry takes an awesome over the top rope bump from a Superkick. With that said I thought the match lacked structure, and didn't tell an engageing story, plus the finish blew. To me this a low end nomination.
August 22, 200718 yr comment_5421001 I don't know if it lacked structure so much as the structure was really really odd. Kerry face/Adamas heel with match built around Adams getting payback spots. I kind of liked the paceing for its "differentness" but I could see arguing that it wasn't so much different as backasswards.
September 26, 200718 yr comment_5422233 American Heavyweight Title: “Gentleman” Chris Adams © vs. “The Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich (3/30/85) This is from the Superdome and since it’s not in Texas we might get a good finish here. Kerry comes out early with his great punches sending Adams over the top rope to the floor forcing him to regroup. The action would get back in the ring and Adams started mounting his offense with two fucking great Superkicks as a setup to his other offense. Adams is working this at sprint pace as he locks in a sleeper and just continues to bring it to Kerry keeping him grounded. Adams would soon hit another Superkick that sent Kerry flying over the top rope and as Adams tried to kick Kerry, he pulled him to the floor and punched him a couple of times before going back to the ring. Kerry would lock in a sleeper of his own but would let go and eventually knocked Adams to the floor but Adams would return and send Kerry back to the floor crashing on the ringside table where Adams would pound his head on. Kerry would come back in and lock a sleeper again but they would crash heads before long leaving the match at a stalemate. Kerry would go for the Iron Claw but Adams fought it off and would make a quick comeback before being thrown into the referee on an O’Connor Roll attempt by Kerry. Kerry would lock the claw in and they rolled from the ring to the apron when the bell rung because Adams grabbed his title belt and hit Kerry with it for the DQ. Shitty finish to a really solid match.
September 29, 200718 yr comment_5422346 I know my vote doesn't count, but I'd go no. It would go on a best of KVE or Adams though.
October 27, 200717 yr comment_5423136 I watched this and I am giving it the axe. This is one of those matches that even if you put it through to the next round, it would be one of the first ones cut before the final list is made. Plus, Kerry and Adams had much better days in World Class.
