Posted December 13, 200717 yr comment_5425195 Ricky Steamboat & Jake Roberts vs. Super Destroyer & Grappler - I never knew Jake and Ricky ever tagged together. Really good tag as Jake and Ricky work well together. If this match doesn’t end in Piper’s interference then this is an easy nomination but the finish brings it down so I’ll call it a low level nomination.
June 25, 201312 yr comment_5548808 Jake "The Snake" Roberts & Ricky Steamboat vs. The Grappler & Super Destroyer (November 1981) JIP a little bit here. Jake & Ricky make for a really fun team and work well together plus it helps having good opponents. The faces take almost all of the match here and the heels are bumping machines for them. The heels got some offense in mainly on Jake and while it was short it was effective. Ole & Piper show up at ringside to cause a disturbance but it fires Jake up and he NUKES Grappler with a DDT which was a counter move for him at the time before getting the hot tag to Steamer. Steamer runs wild and the 4-way brawl was on before Piper pulled him to the floor for a DQ. Very fun match and a nomination even with the crappy finish.
July 6, 201312 yr comment_5550070 What an awesome little studio bout here. They tell a solid story in the ring. Steamer and Jake start with the shine . They work over SD leg with some fun little work. When Grappler was in they targeted his neck. Jake worked some really interesting headlock spots here . The tides would turn and Jake would go FIP. He is a pro at it. His hand gestures in his selling were so great. I also must mention this is about as spry as I've seen Jake eventually Piper and Ole would come out, and this would lead to the unsatysfying finish. Overall , it's a low - end nomination , but man I enjoyed the ride.
