Posted August 14, 200817 yr comment_5434035 Jimmy Garvin & Terry Gordy vs Johnny Mantell & Chris Adams (12/09/83) The ridiculous amount of showboating from Garvin after winning just one tiny exchange against Adams is great. When Gordy is in, this match is just awesome, and he's in most of the time. There's such a dramatic difference in the pace when he's in versus when he's not, and he's throwing suplexes all over the place and applying the Oriental Spike to Mantell to take him out of the match. It's ridiculous that Kevin running in and attacking Gordy in plain sight of the ref isn't a DQ, but this is still a worthy match, probably a low-end nomination, and I'm throwing it on the block.

Adams & Mantell would soon take control on Gordy who sold really well here before he popped Adams with a shot letting him & Garvin get the control. Garvin continued taking it to Adams showing a mean streak here which complimented Gordy well because he was always mean. The fans are hot for Adams as Gordy plays it up before drilling him with a backdrop suplex before starting a quick tag frenzy with Garvin keeping a fresh man in the ring. Mantell gets sick of this and starts attacking Gordy but he would eat a big clothesline before Gordy put the Oriental Spike on him. Adams & Garvin have a slugfest as this is going on but Garvin would soon tag in Gordy who would brawl with Adams until Kevin Von Erich shows up checking on Mantell. The heels go back to work on Adams as Gordy kicks at Kevin who runs in the ring to brawl with Gordy and as this is going on Adams hits a sweet BACKDROP SUPLEX HOLDAHHH for the pinfall. I was shocked that David Manning didn’t call for the DQ with Kevin but Gordy initiated the attack so that may have been it. I thought this was a damn good match and a nomination.
October 10, 200817 yr comment_5435105 Garvin and Gordy always make such a great team. The face team didn't excite me that much, and the finish was dopey (though Adam's back suplex hold is a really sweet move), but the heels kept the action interesting enough that I can get behind this as a low-end nomination.
