Posted February 3, 200817 yr comment_5427799 All Japan Classics 79 Kabuki v. Mike Davis (3/3/83) - A young Kawada is Kabuki’s second. It’s a good thing he didn’t go down that path. Anyway, no way in hell this thing makes it. The finisher looked nice though. Dory and Terry Funk v. Harley Race & Dick Slater (12/9/82) - Both teams are playing up the mutual respect thing, breaking when they get to the ropes, no cheap shots early on. Terry and Slater work early on and both guys were fun to watch. There were som fun spots including the dueling Terry-Slater headbutt battle. Still, Dory Funk is so, so boring. Seriously, whether it is Race-Terry or Slater-Terry, I was interested in the match but when Dory would come in, I would lose interest. This thing goes 40 minutes and there is plenty of good stuff to nominate it but I don’t know how it would fare in voting. Another subdued crowd hurts the match.
