Posted July 1, 2025Jul 1 comment_6032073 Greg Valentine & Dino Bravo vs. Rougeau Brothers (Philly 5/9/87) Maybe I’m nuts but I thought Bravo was actually good in this match. Crowd starts a chant I couldn’t make out, so I’m not sure if it’s in support of someone or just to amuse themselves. Solid work from both teams and they get the crowd more into it at certain points. Some nice square ups and Valentine hits some nice elbows. Man, this ref is loud. Finish is a small package reversal behind the ref’s back that goes in the Rougeaus’ favor. Afterwards the New Dream team attack the Rougeaus, with Valentine putting Jacques in the figure four until Raymond chases them off with a chair. I’ll give this a low-end nomination just to see if I’m nuts that Bravo was actually good in this. The ref got on my nerves though and the crowd probably needed to be more consistently into it throughout.

The awkward small package whip leading to the pin hurts the match and the lackluster crowd. This probably won't make the set but low end seems right.
