Posted April 19, 200817 yr comment_5430771 Easily the best Paul Ellering match ever, another fun 10 minute Dundee studio singles, lots of nifty stuff here, inlcuding Dundee bridging and twisting out of pins, and a nasty headbutt out of a bearhug. Ellering sucks, but didn't drag this down. I liked this better then the Latham match, and I am nominating it. CWA 5-7/80 disc 2
July 4, 200817 yr comment_5432662 Date is 5/24/80 (maybe 5/17). And so we get the Dundee one man show. Worth a nomination just for that, but this is one hell of a studio match and holy shit did the crowd lose their minds for the finish.
July 14, 200817 yr comment_5432972 “Superstar” Bill Dundee vs. Paul Ellering (5/17/80) Dundee again looks great here as he carries Ellering to the best TV match he had at this time in his career and maybe ever. Dundee would take everything Ellering had but would finally lock in the sleeper that wouldn’t last long because Jimmy Hart hit him in the back. Ellering then tries to put away Dundee but he fights back although as he tries for his 180 splash off the rope, he hit Paul Morton by mistake. Ellering then picks up Dundee holding him up for Hart but Sonny King comes out and takes Hart away thus letting Dundee get a schoolboy on Ellering to get the win. Very fun match and moves forward.
July 28, 200817 yr comment_5433332 By this time, the crazy shaking has gotten to me. I'll rewatch this but my initial response is this wasn't as good as the Latham match or the Morton-King match.
August 4, 200817 yr comment_5433603 So, I knew Phil was going to lobby for this match, and since I was putting stuff in 4-hour mode, I figured I would convert this to save from having to find the disc again. Shit, I was wrong. This was Reason 3,206 why Dundee should be in a Hall of Fame for work alone. Seriously, Ellering displays his power so Dundee pulls out every single trick to keep his ass grounded and twisted up. When he doesn't, Ellering makes him pay (ex: nasty looking neckbreaker). I was wrong so I am changing the ? to a big red heart I just watched this, the Latham match and the King match back to back and all three are going on this set. It may be the best back to back to back of studio matches we have on the set.
