Posted February 25, 200817 yr comment_5428582 Mid-America Heavyweight Title: “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton © vs. “Superstar” Bill Dundee (7/24/82) Eaton cuts another great promo before the match but Dutch comes out swinging Shoebaby demanding a match with Eaton. Dundee asks Dutch to settle down and to sit at ringside so he can counter Hart. Dundee takes it Eaton early as Dutch does his job keeping Hart in check and distracting Eaton. Dundee & Eaton would clash heads giving Eaton a chance to get the advantage but Dundee still maintains control as Hart whines on the floor. Dundee would miss a diving body press off the middle rope giving Eaton the chance he needed to gain the advantage. Eaton just works over Dundee serious while talking shit to Dutch on the floor then hits his powerslam on Dundee that he used on Keirn the previous week but Dundee kicked out. Eaton goes nuts on Dundee choking him but Dundee would kick him in the gut to get the advantage back. Hart would trip up Dundee though as he ran the ropes leading to Dutch attacking Hart as Eaton goes back to work on Dundee. Dundee would get Eaton in an inside cradle though for a nearfall as Dutch keeps Hart in his chair. Dutch would trip up Eaton as he ran the ropes with Dundee hitting a splash to follow for another nearfall. Eaton would throw Dundee into the ropes so hard it broke the second rope ala Sam Houston Coliseum but that didn’t effect these guys as Eaton just kept pounding on Dundee. Eaton would try another powerslam on Dundee but Dundee’s momentum took him to the mat and got the pinfall to win the title. Dundee & Dutch then pound on Eaton after the match until Sugar jumps in to make the save before King Cobra goes after Eaton. Dundee is juicing as everyone else is fighting which stops as soon as Dutch breaks out Shoebaby. This is a slam dunk nomination.

You can see Eaton getting visibly upset after things that woked the wek before did not work in this match. You also see him not make the same mistakes such as the missed elbow. This week, it is Dundee who misses the elbow. When the ropes break, Eaton at least acknowlledges the error and uses the collapsed ropes to choke Dundee. I think the cross-body ending was a little anti-climactic and they probably went home early because of the ropes. I enjoyed his more than the Keirn match si it gets the nomination but I did not enjoy this as much as Kris.
July 31, 200817 yr comment_5433435 I liked this more then their arena match, all of the stuff with Dutch was fun, and the cross body block on Eaton was great. The ropes breaking got me nostalgic for Houston, this makes a set
