Posted March 7, 200817 yr comment_5429106 Memphis #25 (2 Discs) Disc 1 10/10/87 Nasty Boys vs. Mike Davis & Tommy Lane (Rock N Roll RPMs - There is something neat about watching green sloppy Nasty Boys as opposed to veteran sloppy Nasty Boys. Anyway, for the first 11 minutes, nothing of note happens. When it breaks down into a free for all, the ref takes one of the weakest bumps ever. Jeff Jarrett interferes to give the Nasties the win and the tag titles. No vote.

Bill Dundee Interview Steve Keirn Promo Nasty Boys Interview (Extra or Nasty Boys comp) Nasty Boys, Jerry Lawler & Bill Dundee vs. Carl Fergie, Don Bass & Diamond & Tanaka - Not much of a match. Jerry Lawler vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (Texas Death Match) (9/8/86) - THe crowd is freaking hot here. Bigelow manhandles Lawler and easily pins Lawler for the first fall. Lawler, still hurting from the first fall is easy pickings for the 2nd fall as well. The 3rd fall was also all Bigelow but he missed a headbutt and Lawler got the surprise pin for the 3rd fall. I am pretty sure the entire thing is complete. OK, this is I love how Lawler is selling the hand after the punches, reinforcing how hard Bigelow's head is. It is little things like this that make Lawler great because most people wouldn't think of something so simple. And to drive the point home, to win the 4th fall, he uses a top-rope fist drop. I never noticed before but Bigelow also has some pretty nice punches. The rest of the match is some great back and forth action that Kris described well enough. Great drama, great action, great match. Easy nomination. THer eis a point before Tommy Rich pushes Bigelow where the video goes to a Lawler interview. We may want to edit the match. Lawler & Dundee vs. Hayes & Gordy (1979) - 1970s

March 22, 200817 yr comment_5429749 Just an FYI, The Jarrett-Hennig match (that is only listed as a video package here) appears on one of the RESLO discs. I assume it would be the same match. I can check to see if it is complete or cut-up if there is a need to view that bout for inclusion. I can hunt down the RESLO listing for anyone that has those discs, too, if that is easier.
