Posted September 4, 200718 yr comment_5421457 This was a blast, this was the sped up TV version of their house show matches, so it was all workrate speedy bumping, I liked this a ton. Roberts is ridiculously over, and the DDT is used perfectly
September 4, 200718 yr comment_5421458 This was just a boatload of fun. Both guys were working at an incredible pace. The finish was just super. I loved the Joel Watts call that Slater was able to sneak up on Jake because of the crowd pop was deafening so Jake couldn't hear him. This should find a place on a disk. If that Flairmark guy says that Jake isn't a good worker he should be banned for life. I'm still pissed about his comments in the WWF section about Jake. Another good match for Mr. Mid-South, Jake Roberts.
November 6, 200717 yr comment_5423523 Jake Roberts vs. Dick Slater 1/1/86 (Bollom 5.2) - TV Match. Non-stop action. It does seem like they were rushing though. I loved the DDT finish and Jake winning the TV medal in the end was something I did not see coming. I have this as a low-end nomination mainly because the 2 Houston SSW matches are so much better and I don’t see myself ranking this anywhere near the top of the heap.
November 26, 200717 yr comment_5424536 Mid-South TV Title Tournament – Finals: Jake “The Snake” Roberts vs. “Mr. Unpredictable” Dick Slater (1/1/86) Slater demands to stay in the tournament even after winning the North American title earlier on the tapings. This was fucking great as both men just went out and hauled ass working like madmen for their styles. Jake looked really good in his comeback and Slater was just as good at taking it. The DDT finish was tremendous especially with Jake getting the pin on the new NA champ. Definite nomination.
