Posted September 12, 200817 yr comment_5434516 I meant to nominate this a few days ago when I first watched it. My mind gets kinda foggy when I actually need to remember things, plus I'm in a bit of a pinch for time right now, so I'm mainly just posting it as a reminder that I think it should be nominated. That said, you know how I feel about these guys, shouldn't be hard to figure out that I would think it was awesome.
September 24, 200817 yr comment_5434845 I'm guessing this is the same match on Romdam 20. David, Kerry, & Kevin Von Erich vs. “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin, Michael Hayes, & Buddy Roberts (7/29/83) Buddy has a new wig on now with braids and it’s hilarious. Garvin is also wearing the American title which he won from Kevin the previous Monday in Fort Worth. Von Erichs bring out their six-man trophy showcasing it to the fans who are nuts for them. Lots of bumping early on by the heels especially Roberts who eats a triple dropkick but he would use his headgear to turn the tide allowing Kevin to get worked over but he would soon get the tag to Kerry. Kerry would get offense early but soon became the FIP and took a lot of punishment from the heels who were making quick tags and this was around the time that Garvin started palling around with the Birds getting chemistry. Garvin would miss a kneedrop letting Kerry get the tag to David who starts working over Garvin but would miss his high kneelift into the corner allowing Hayes to tag in and the heels would start working David over. Roberts would take a high kneelift by David as he tried to use a headbutt with the headgear and both would get tags to Garvin & Kevin respectively. Of course this would break down into a 6-way brawl with David going for the headgear as Garvin hit Kerry with a backdrop suplex. Kevin would then hit his reverse cross body block off the top rope on Garvin to get the win. Yet another solid match and a nomination.

This is another good bout and feels like a low end nomination. It kinda felt underwhelming considering who was involved. It hurts not having Gordy to bring his big time offense and great bumping skills. Garvin is good, but he is nothing like Gordy as a worker.
October 29, 200916 yr comment_5445466 The Von Erichs vs. Michael Hayes, Buddy Roberts, & Jimmy Garvin I still didn't feel this. It was solid but not a nom. If Garvin replaced Hayes instead of Gordy we might have gotten a better bout. Whatever though still a no to me.
