Posted June 2, 200817 yr comment_5431907 National TV Title: Jake “The Snake” Roberts © vs. “Hands of Stone” 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.
