Posted June 23, 200817 yr comment_5432379 Southeastern TV Title: The Matador (Jerry Stubbs) © vs. Terry Taylor (5/10/80) Dutch Mantell comes out with Matador smoking a cigar. Matador starts with the advantage but eats a big forearm by Taylor knocking him to the floor. Taylor takes the advantage working on Matador’s arm but Matador would fight back and we would have lots of nearfalls with both men trading the advantage until Taylor went back to the arm. Matador would get the advantage back though trying to get pinfalls on Taylor to finish him off but Taylor keeps fighting back. Matador would nearly get the win on a powerslam but Taylor raised his shoulder up at 2 ¾ then keeps trying to pin Taylor before using a piledriver as time runs out for a draw. The heels want more time and Matador jumps in the ring where he gets cradled up by Taylor with Tommy Weathers counting three but it doesn’t count. This was a fun match and I’m throwing it up on the block.

He sold a Taylor elbow smash like it was one of the most vicious strikes of all time . I'd love to see him sell one of Valentine's. I liked how Taylor did the arm bar lift like Backlund. Both wrestlers used the arm bar as a base. Matador eventually shifted to working the neck. We go to a draw. I think they short shrifted us a minute or 2. Then we get a fun post match that probably sets up rematches with longer times. Low end nomination.
