Posted February 9, 200817 yr comment_5427994 Ricky Morton vs. Tully Blanchard (No DQ One Fall Death Match) (5:55) (5:52) (6:48) (18:35) - OK, to make things easier, this would be a Last Man Standing match in today's wrestling world. Early on, Morton shows a meaner streak here than he did in the No DQ tag match. Tully turns the tide by hitting Morton with a foreign object and the stips of the match kick in. I love how Tully blatantly chokes Morton with a rope AND pushes Teddy Long away when he tries to break it up. Thanks for playing up the stips! I love Tully's headbutt that only serves to send him out to the concrete as he bears the brunt of it. A double knockout spot allows Morton to stand up first despite JJ's best efforts to pick up Blanchard and we have a clean ending on NWA TV in 1987. Only after the decision does Arn come in and lay waste to Morton. Good stuff and a nomination. I feel tempted to put the No DQ tag on as an extra to show how different the matches can be when you respect the stipulations. (NWA TV 9/87 - 10/87 Disc 2)
July 30, 201411 yr comment_5616026 This is a solid nomination. It starts with both guys just punching each other in a real hateful manner. Tully is great at being the opportunistic prick. I loved Morton's counter of the Sling shot. I really liked the finish and as icing we get a tremendous post match beat down.
