Posted January 29, 200817 yr comment_5427668 Nothing of note in-ring on the 1st show (from '81), though the Terry Funk interview (issuing the challenge for the empty arena match) is a must for the extra discs. The recap of Jimmy Hart's fake retirement also deserves consideration. The 2nd show (from 8?/80) has a fun Lawler promo building up his return and this awesome match: Wayne Farris/Larry Latham vs Bill Dundee/Tony Boyles I enjoyed the hell out of this. The Bombers have a ton of great heel tag team shtick and HOLY SHIT is Bill Dundee great. We all knew this already but he was really incredible here and had a ton of cool offense that I haven't seen before, including a really nasty baseball slide boot to the face in the corner. Boyles is mostly kept out of the way until the end where he semi-blows the collision leading to Dundee getting the hot tag and then blows the finish twice, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the match. The post-match was really long (a few segments) and wild, to the point that it took this from "very good, nomination-worthy match" to a slam dunk pick. All 3 heels (Bombers and manager Sgt. Danny Davis) bloody Dundee, Dundee comes back out and demands a singles match with one of the 3 heels, Davis comes out and gets mauled by Dundee, the Bombers come back out to try to kill Dundee again, and then Jerry Jarrett makes the save triggering a big brawl. Great promos in the middle of all this, too.
