Posted August 23, 200817 yr comment_5434166 5. Chris Adams vs Terry Taylor Adams has the Umpires mask. What a goofball gimmick. These wrestlers work real well with one another, and this is no exception. This was good. with the mixing up of wrestling and brawling. The work was good and deserves a nomination. Adams selling when Taylor was getting heat was well done and the crowd got behind him. I hope we have another singles match between the 2 w/o the stupid gimmick.
December 17, 200817 yr comment_5436438 “Gentleman” Chris Adams vs. Terry Taylor (4/22/88) Adams is again working this in an umpire’s mask. Taylor’s chickenshit schtick is awesome here and his selling is over the top at times which was fun. Adams just wanted to brawl here as he took the match to the floor but Taylor would hang with him. It would take a shot to the balls for Taylor to gain the advantage and he would really work over Adams. Taylor goes after the injured hand qutie a bit before Adams makes his comeback with Taylor doing Flair type schtick and the crowd going nuts. Adams would hit Taylor with a Superkick in the ribs before going to work on Adams until CHONO! and Mike George run in for the DQ. They pound on Adams until he makes his own save. I really dug this and it should move forward even with the DQ but that was fun stuff.
October 30, 200916 yr comment_5445491 I wanted to like this, but really, another match with a bunch of foreign object shots (and not just the mask, but a chair and a microphone used by Taylor) that happen in full view of the ref, but not only is it ignored, the match still ends in a DQ anyway? And Taylor's selling was terrible. He looked like he was having a seizure whenever Adams hit him, just shaking and spinning and hopping around. It was weird and distracting and made Adams' typically crisp offense look weak. Not an issue of it being over the top, but an issue of it being inept. I really can't back this one.
