Luke Williams & Jonathan Boyd vs. Jacques Rougeau & Terry Taylor (Coal Miner's Glove) (11/15/82)

- I must be in a really good mood today because I thought this was fun as hell. When Jacque came in, he hits a dropkick and immediately goes for the pole. Even when Jacques flubbed the rope jump, his mistake cost him as Butch knocked him to the floor and Butch was able to climb the pole. I mark for Jonathan Boyd so when I see him in there instead of Butch, I feel much better. Later on, Terry Taylor's decision to stop Boyd from climibing the pole instead of tagging his partner cost him. I agree that the ending sucked but the chase to the top of the pole was great. Nomination.

Sheepherders vs. Taylor/Rougeau

 

This is a coal miners glove on a poll match. Rougeau looked great climbing the pole. What I've seen of the Sheepherders in Memphis they have looked great. Rougeau has some neat climb the poll spots. Taylor looks in slow mo in comparison. The stip helps add to the drama,and makes it for a simple reaction. The wrestlers combined going for the pole spots, and tag spots. The Sheepherders miscomunicate and knock each other down. This allows Rougeau to get the glove. This was a fun match. I think this is a nomination.

Coal Miners Glove: Jacques Rougeau & Terry Taylor vs. The Sheepherders (Jonathan Boyd & Luke Williams) (11/15/82)

 

This was all about who could climb the pole to get the glove early on in the match but it would settle down into more of a normal match. Taylor would take a beating from the Sheeps but got the hot tag to Rougeau who would clean house before climbing the pole to get the glove. Rougeau would then use the huge glove to bash some heads until Boyd clocked both faces with the flagpole. Dundee & Lawler would then chase them out of the ring. Fun stuff but not a nomination.

Like Kris I enjoyed it but it came up short of a nomination for me.

Yeah I am going to go with a No here too, fun, but Rougeua and Taylor looked pretty shitty and it never kicked into that nomination gear
