Posted March 7, 200817 yr comment_5429093 Fabulous Ones vs. The New York Dolls (2/3 Falls) (11/13/82) - Fist fall starts off rather normal with neither team doing anything to gain a real advantage. Once Hart hits Keirn with a cane, Steve does his FIP which is pretty damn good in Memphis. The chair shot from Hart initially looked a little awkward but after a slow motion replay, Keirn actually slammed him into the chair which was way cool. The brawl on the floor made up for the non-finish of the first fall and what started out as a nice little tag ends up a pretty rowdy brawl with MccGraw even getting hip-tossed on the concrete. For the 2nd fall, since Keirn was the legal man, he took most of the abuse to begin with. The DQ ending was weak but this was fun as hell. I think this deserves a nomination. (Lynch 4.2)
March 7, 200817 yr comment_5429112 2 out of 3 falls: The Fabulous Ones (Steve Keirn & Stan Lane) vs. The New York Dolls (Dream Machine & Rick McGraw) (11/13/82) This starts out with some good action between both teams but Hart would pop Keirn with a cane and bloodied him changing the pace of the match as the Dolls took the advantage. Hart would then hold up a chair for Keirn to be slammed into but it was reversed and McGraw hit it instead which bloodied him. Both men got hot tags leading to a 4-way brawl. Lane just pounds on Dream on the floor as Keirn bites on McGraw with Jerry Calhoun counting both teams out to end the 1st fall. They pick up the action fast & furious as soon as the 2nd fall starts as it’s basically a 4-way brawl with the blood still flowing. The match would go back to the floor again with Hart banging Keirn with his cane for the DQ. Great brawling but a crappy finish makes this not a nomination for me.
April 21, 200817 yr comment_5430794 I had the date wrong as it was 11/6/82 and on the rewatch, I'm down for this as a nomination because even with the crappy finish, the action during the match was enough to warrant this being on the block.
May 19, 200817 yr comment_5431391 The Fabs vs. The New York Dolls I kinda liked The Fabs early arm and leg work on the Dolls. I liked how the heels transitioned into the FIP with Hart's nasty cain shot. This leads to Keirn being busted open. Dream machine took a big bump on the floor from a Lane hiptoss. The 1st fall ends in a Double count out with some brawling on the floor. Dream machine with a Stevens bump into the corner. The 2nd fall is some more brawling. This breaks down and Hart gets the Dolls DQed.I liked this match. It was neat how it started as a normal Southern Tag and broke down into a fun brawl. If this took place at an arena I feel it would have come across better. I feel this goes forward with a mild nomination.
July 31, 200817 yr comment_5433422 I have really enjoyed all of the brawling Fabs stuff, and you got to like a TV match with this much blood and brawling, man I wish the Dolls had a longer run as they were just an amazing team
