Posted June 2, 200817 yr comment_5431908 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.
