Posted April 14, 20232 yr comment_6002738 This match had a beautiful progression to it. Thesz is the referee and does a good job of being interactive without in the way. Match starts with some good grappling and Dory/Ricky and Jay/Terry are paired off. A standout is Jay hooking the arm of Terry, them spilling to the outside, Terry does an airplane spin on the outside, they roll back in.... and Jay still has the arm hooked. Jay continues to be the guy along with Gino that I miss the most from their young death when I watch 80s wrestling. The match continues to heat up and the final 3-4 minutes are outstanding. You can sense the Steamboat/Jay team gaining momentum and close to pulling off the upset. They work towards that with multiple pinfall attempts and frequent tags. It is very engaging and looks like a basketball team that keeps draining 3's and has a team on the ropes. Just then, Dory cuts off Ricky and Terry is able to reverse a flying press from Jay to get the victory showing the veteran wilyness of the Funks. Really entertaining match. **** (7.9)
