Posted August 26, 200718 yr comment_5421215 This is a shoo baby on a pole match, and was fucking awesome. Dundee is an amazing "on a pole" worker, he has a ton of "on a pole" spots, "on a pole" near falls, "on a pole" reversals, "on a pole teases." He really should be brought in as a road agent anytime Russo gets booking power. DQ ending isn't great, but they do debut the awesome Memphis heel trio of Mantel/Dundee/Eddie Gilbert.
September 7, 200718 yr comment_5421601 This was just chalked full of greatness. Whoever shot this, they made the pole look so tall on the camera angles. This was all action, with Dundee being the star of the match. Dutch may be the greatest ever at using the whip. The lashing he gave Fulton looked so brutal. This should be a lock for a disk. Just super fun shit.
September 28, 200717 yr comment_5422330 Shoobaby On A Pole: The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) vs. “Superstar” Bill Dundee & “Dirty” Dutch Mantell (9/25/85) The pole was definitely the central part of this match as every time a team would get the advantage they raced for that pole. Dutch using the Fants as stairs was awesome. Dundee took a great bump off the pole when Fulton rammed his head into it. You could feel the hatred here between these two teams and the desperation to get that bullwhip. Gilbert shows up and he grabs the whip for the DQ and they whip on Fulton until Rogers makes the save and whips Dutch. Gilbert then threw powder in Rogers’ face then went back to whipping Fulton again. Rogers then comes back with a steel chair and cleans house. This was great stuff and a definite nomination.
