Posted December 21, 200717 yr comment_5425698 Ragin’ & Ravishin’ vs. Road Warriors- Oh man, watching Rude and Hawk pose is a hoot. Rude incorporates the impromptu arm wrestling match against Hawk spot which i have only seen in a Dingo Warrior match from World Class. Another cool spot has Rude working a leglock so Animal overpowers him and turns it into a pinning spot and Animal breaks out some pushups in order to get some pin attempts. The entire match has Rude and Bull trying to figure ways out to get the advantage over the more powerful Warriors. They are finally able to get the advantage when Hawk has Rude pinned and Manny comes off the top rope and smashes Hawk in the back. I love how Manny works on Hawk's arm by wrapping it around the rope and throwing a headbutt into the shoulder. Ragin' & Ravishin' end up getting the DQ but I enjoyed the hell out of this match. I am going to nominate it because I think this is one of those matches that needs to be seen even if it isn't supposed to be better than a Horsemen-RNR matchup.(Superbouts 2)
June 1, 20169 yr comment_5755501 NWA World Tag Titles: Ragin & Ravishing (Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude) © vs. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) (4/3/87)The story early on was the Roadies and how they were basically superhuman making the champs look like goofs especially Rude. Paul Jones grabs the house mic and said that he would put up $5,000 on the spot if Hawk would arm-wrestle Rude which he does so they stop the actual match for this spot which was great. Rude tries to grab the rope for leverage and Animal kicks it off so Hawk put Rude's hand down and Paul Jones is pisssed because he is out $5,000. Ragin & Ravishing are really good at stooging during this entire Roadies dominance and the fans are eating it up. Hawk would hit Rude with a diving clothesline off the middle rope but Manny would follow with a big smash off the middle rope and now the champs finally have the advantage where they work over Hawk's left arm. Hawk would hit a big shoulder tackle then got the hot tag to Animal who ran wild before the 4-way brawl started with Bull going for a cross body block off the middle rope but Animal caught him in a powerslam which brought in Paul Jones who interfered for the DQ. This was a fun match but with a shitty finish...I'll back it as a low-end nomination but that's all.
January 25, 20178 yr comment_5785215 Road Warriors vs Manny Fernandenove][ the test of strength spot. Both heels stooge for the Roadies mixed in with some stalling. A famous young Rude spot and it's the arm wrestle challenge in the middle of the match. Hawk gets the victory in the arm wrestling challenge. Liking Manny working the arm. This was solid stuff, but doesn't feel like a nom. Road Warriors vs Manny Fernandenove][ the test of strength spot. Both heels stooge for the Roadies mixed in with some stalling.
