Posted June 15Jun 15 comment_6031328 Ted DiBiase vs. Jake Roberts (Boston 1/9/88) - Some early arm work between the two and DiBiase is shown up. Ted attacks but gets some punches in the face so he has to regroup. Inside he engages in a test of strength. Jake almost slaps a DDT, DiBiase bails and the crowd chants for the DDT. Inside, a knee lift and another DDT attempt and Ted bails again. Outside, Jake attacks and slams Virgil and Ted’s heads together. Jake takes care of Ted on the floor, throws him in and as he rolls in, the fist drop connects. Damn, that looked smooth. Ted is now choking Jake and takes over. Great offense from Ted but he hit one particular clothesline that was butt ass ugly… in a nasty oops way. Ted slows it down with the chin lock and Jake kicks out of a pin attempt. Jake trying to fight back and slugging it out. DiBiase begs off but Jake says “Hell no” Short arm clothesline and he stops the DDT attempt to go after Virgil. DiBiase ambushes him and gets the three count. I had fun with this and this match up does not happen often so SOLID NOMINATION.
