Posted June 2, 200817 yr comment_5431906 Brett & “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. Bob Brown & Pat Rose (11/26/83) Sawyer’s look good as a team. National TV Title: Jake “The Snake” Roberts © vs. Ronnie Garvin (11/26/83) Garvin is great early on here with his armwork using a standing fireman’s slam which was great along with a wicked looking side arm scissors. Jake would go to the floor to regroup getting some feeling back in his arm then tries to sucker Garvin but he would go right back to work on the arm including some pin attempts while working the arm like a modified crucifix. This is some really good stuff here as Garvin is all over the mat using scissors holds and the like. We get a fucking clip and come back with both men on their back after a double collision. Jake would go for a DDT but Garvin holds the ropes and Jake goes down but Jake keeps on trying as Garvin has a death grip on the ropes. Garvin would let go and would catch Jake flush with a right hand and a splash for a nearfall. Garvin tries for a piledriver but Jake reverses into a Garvin reversal with a sunset flip before the time limit would run out. Garvin still punches Jake and they have to be pulled apart after the bell. Like I said this had some really solid stuff from Garvin and I’m throwing it on the block. Ted DiBiase vs. Cy Jernigan (11/26/83) Squash. Solie gives a shoutout to the Laurinaitis family which is funny as he calls Johnny Ace “Little Joe.” Les Thornton vs. Jason Walker (11/26/83) Thornton looks good. “Nature Boy” Ric Flair vs. Pat Rose (11/26/83) Jesus, Flair was so fucking great here just fluid as hell showing off his varied offense and Rose was always a great opponent for him. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) vs. Bob Brown & Zane Smith (11/26/83) Squash. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) vs. Mike Jackson & Tracy Stohr (12/3/83) Squash. National TV Title: Jake “The Snake” Roberts © vs. “Hands of Stone” Ronnie Garvin (12/3/83) These two went to a draw in the previous week so here is the rematch. This was such a great feud as both men worked very well together. Jake keeping his hands up as defense for any punch that Garvin might throw was great. Garvin would use a front chancery to keep Jake grounded early but would mix a great forearm smash in to force Jake to the mat. There would be a cut in the action for a commercial and we come back with Jake now controlling Garvin on the mat. Both men were very tight in their offense here with the strikes looking really crisp. Garvin would smash Jake’s head on the ringpost and hit a cross body block off the top rope for a nearfall with Jake rolling to the floor to regroup and kill time. Garvin throws some awesome punches of course leading up to a schoolboy for a nearfall and the fans at Techwood are getting into this. Garvin would then get an inside cradle for another nearfall and you could tell that Garvin was getting a sense of urgency after the last week. The time limit would run out as Garvin was stomping on Jake. This was another good match in their series and goes on the block. Flair then cuts a great promo on everyone. Then they show clips of the Thanksgiving tag tourney from the Omni featuring some odd pairs. National TV Title: Jake “The Snake” Roberts © vs. Jason Walker (12/10/83) Squash.
