Posted November 25, 200718 yr comment_5424512 Jim Ross on commentary. Leroy Mcguirk promoting. Starchild Billy Starr interview. I don't think this is Georgia Nighmare Billy Starr and he doesn't appear to be doing a Paul Stanley as Starchild gimmick. He's doing more of 70s EST guru thing where he claims to contrl his tag team through hypnosis. Porkchop Cash v Mike Reed. Porkchop is introduced as being the Great Black Hope from Washington DC on this disc. Ross goes off on how Porkchop alwasy says a lot of words but he's never heard him say anything that shows inteligence. And everytime Porkchop comes out an old man in the front row appears to try to taunt him by waveing a tea bag at him. This is a non competitive match with Prokchop having some fun beat down spots. Scott McGee v Bobby Patterson- Showcase match for Mcgee. Doug Sommers/Cowboy Lange v Prince Sivi Afi/Lone Eagle Mixed tag midget and full grown man match. Doug Sommers amuses me as a heel who actually grabs the tights and pulls the hair on every move. So used to seeing hair pulling and tight pulling only used for finish and heel complaint spots that guy whose offense built around it was really entertaining to me,. Sivi Afi is as dull as I remember him. They do a neat spot where Doug Sommers holds Lone Eagle for choke and kind of chokeslams him into Lange punch. Lange hits a beutifull suplex. Terry Gibbs v Hans Von Bruner This is pretty bad outside of Gibbs'leg selling and abdominal stretch into pin finish. Mark Romero and Rick Youngblood v Ali Bey and El Torro I don't think El Torro is same El Torro from Kentucky. Match pretty much structured around faces having control, heels double teaming beating down then face tagging out, face has control, heels double teaming beating down then face tagging out, face has control, heels double teaming beating down then face tagging out, face has control until DQ finish. Chief Frank Hill runs in to help clean house. Second show: Outlaw Don Bass v Prince Sivi Afi This ends in a double count out and is dull. Snuka v Jerry Lanthrip Ali Bey v Gery Black both noncompetitive. Ali Bey has some nice kicks and strikes and has enough of a rounded little fireplug build that all his flat bumps really look like luchesque rolling bumps. Snuka has a nice top rope splash. They have just modifide the toprope rule in Tri-State (you are not allowed to do a move from top rope with the knee point of elbow or foot. But can do one with the head or chest.) Ricky and Mark Romero v Porkchops Cash and Larry Wright This is really dissapointing. Larry Wright's bump from getting punched in belly is funny.
November 25, 200718 yr comment_5424513 The only match form Tri-State I have seen that I would consider is the Eddie Gilbert/ Ricky Morton tag title win that I have on a Lynch comp and on my RNR (and Gilbert) comp.
November 26, 200718 yr comment_5424521 Bill Watts broke off with Tri-State in 1979 so this isn't Mid-South and shouldn't be considered for this project and that is the same Billy Starr who worked Georgia indies before becoming Hillbilly Festus.
