Posted February 21, 200817 yr comment_5428323 CWA Heavyweight Title: “Dirty” Dutch Mantell © vs. Jeff Jarrett (1/28/89) Jeff starts this off by being too quick for Dutch keeping the advantage but Dutch would use his experience to get a cheapshot in on Jeff to regain the advantage. Dutch would post Jeff on the floor then threw him into the steel chair before bringing him back to the ring for a vicious short clothesline. Jeff would start fighting back eventually using some nice punches but Jerry Calhoun would hold him back thus letting Dutch clothesline them both. Jeff would get an inside cradle but there was no ref so Dutch grabbed Shoebaby and started whipping Jeff’s legs then sold pain as Calhoun got up and Jeff was on the floor. Jeff would hit a sunset flip off the apron as Dutch grabbed the ropes but Calhoun kicked his hands off for a nearfall. Dutch went for Shoebaby as Jeff went for a chair and nailed Dutch with it for the DQ. Damn solid match with a screwjob finish but the finish made sense so I’m nominating this.
July 19, 200817 yr comment_5433121 I dug this a lot, and endorse the nomination. The short clothesline that Dutch throws was just wicked nasty. Jarrett looked like he was about to come out of his boots. Overall, just a great studio match with both wrestlers looking good in the match.
July 30, 200817 yr comment_5433399 I think this is the better of the two studio matches between the two, that clothesline was brutal as was the Dutch shots with the bullwhip. I would have no problems with neither or both of these matches on the set, but if we only have one it should be this one.
August 9, 200817 yr comment_5433842 I liked this match a bunch, mainly because Dutch can be an asshole by doing the little things... like rubbing Jarrett's face in the mat while applying an armbar. I actually loved th ref bump in this match. Dutch whips Jeff during the bump, pretends he is hurt to the ref and ends up trying it again only to get thumped by the chair. Good solid pick.
