Posted November 9, 200717 yr comment_5423774 Rock N Roll Express vs. Jake "The Snake" Roberts and The Barbarian The big story here is that the RNR don't know how to handle the powerful Barbarian and Nord just manhandles them hwen he is in but when Jake is in, the RNR gain advantage by attacking the leg. Sweet finish as they take Barbarian out with the double dropkick and Morton gets his head caught in the ropes. DWBs try to rip Morton's head off to cause the DQ. A nice tag match that set up the RNR-DWB feud. Low level nomination that I won't mind is on a set but I won't go to the wall fo rit either.
November 17, 200717 yr comment_5424035 The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. The Barbarian & Jake “The Snake” Roberts (4/10/85) Morton would use his speed to get the advantage on Jake early so he would tag out to Barbarian who Morton has problems trying to figure out what to do with. Barbarian uses his power to dominate Morton before tagging Jake in who takes Morton down with a side headlock but Morton would once again get the best of Jake and tagged in Gibson who started working a spinning toehold before tagging Morton back in who kept working on Jake’s right leg. Gibson would come back in and continued the attack but Jake would kick him into the Barbarian who clubbed him before getting the tag. Barbarian & Jake would take turns pounding on Gibson before Gibson could make a comeback making the hot tag to Morton. RnR would hit stereo double dropkicks but Morton would get caught in the ropes with the DWB’s pulling on Morton’s legs. Gibson would get DDTed before Duggan would come out but he would get a full-nelson by Barbarian and a DDT by Jake as the babyfaces tried to make the save. The finish was solely to set up Jake & Barbarian as a team and the DWB’s as the main foes for RnR. This was a fine match but not enough for a nomination.
