Posted July 13, 200817 yr comment_5432925 Great match and an easy nomination. Doesn't have the epic feeling of the long R&R title win but the crowd is hot and I may like this match better. Restart finish was fun though I almost would've preferred to see the heels get Dusty Finished. PWH and MarksFiles say it's Ivan & Nikita but it's definitely Ivan & Krusher Khrushchev from watching the match. (McAdam A475 DVD #2)
July 17, 200817 yr comment_5433056 Yeah classic Rock and Rolls match, with Ivan looking great and a super hot crowd. I loved all the early bullshit, and Gibson was great as face in peril. Would have prefered Nikita to Kruschev, but an easy nomination
July 17, 200817 yr comment_5433061 I think in 1985, NIkita was not the ideal team member. By Summer of 1986, he would have been an upgrade.
August 3, 200817 yr comment_5433572 I will endorse this as well. With the Russians abusing the RNR and Ivan not afraid to give to the lightweights, you get a solid match. I think that the JIP and flash Mid South-esque ending bring it below slam dunk level. I liked the title change much better but this is worth putting on this set.
