Hayes looks like an incredible ass kicker. The reversal of the Hayes bulldog on the floor was awesome. This was so hate filled. I loved this and think it's a big time nomination. It's not long, but it was so hate filled and violent with super bumps and punches. The pacing in this was wild and crazy.
December 17, 200817 yr comment_5436439 Buddy Roberts vs. Michael “PS” Hayes (5/13/88) Hayes has tremendous crowd heat going at this time and he really just beats the piss out of Roberts early who is great at taking a beating. Hayes would go for a bulldog headlock on the floor but Buddy throw him into the ringpost giving him the opening to begin his offensive barrage where he would go all out to take out Hayes including choking him with the security rope. Hayes would come back though using a steel chair before we had a ref bump and a low blow by Buddy so he could put on his black glove but Hayes would fight back until Buddy hit him with the glove. Roberts is bleeding hardway from above the eye and gets the pin on Hayes. The crowd loudly chants bullshit and this was fucking awesome. Slam dunk nomination.

Anyway, I'm not going to bitch about it this time, because this match was way too good to let stuff like that get in the way. Just a great brawl between two top-notch brawlers. As great of a heel as he was, great to see Hayes as an uber-babyface again, and Budro may have been at the peak of his powers here. World Class crowds in '88 were pretty bleak, but they were totally freaking out over this match, and I dare say the crowd heat alone would have been enough to get this one consideration. It's an easy nomination, no two ways about it. [Romdam 13]
