Posted September 14, 200817 yr comment_5434578 1. Terry Gordy vs Kevin Von Erich Kevin's ground work is so underated. His body scissors on Gordy looked so painful. Gordy was no slouch on the ground either. Both men are so good here working holds. The facials on Gordy selling the sleeper was so awesome. It was neat how the wrestlers mixed in the brawling with good matwork, and some old fashioned stiffness. Just a good match that is deserving of a nomination.
September 20, 200817 yr comment_5434713 American Heavyweight Title: Kevin Von Erich © vs. Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy (5/13/83) These two always deliver against each other and this one was no different. Kevin controlled the mat early on and of the Von Erichs he was the best wrestler of the group and it’s funny that each of the main 3 were the best at certain areas with David being the best overall worker and Kerry being the most charismatic. Gordy was a natural fit for Kevin as a worker as he could make Kevin look great then when on offense just beating his ass so he can show his selling prowess. Kevin breaks out some of his patented body scissors spots here and they are great because his legs were so muscular you could believe that he could suck the life out of you. Kevin would then use a sleeper with again the muscular arms making it look more effective and Gordy’s selling of this was great which it was for everything in this match. Gordy would try and piledrive Kevin twice but both times Kevin would counter leading to the finish where Gordy tried a 180 splash off the top rope but missed. Kevin then used one of his own to take out Gordy and win the match. This is an easy nomination.
November 11, 200916 yr comment_5445777 There have been so many great matches between these two, and a lot of them will make the set, I'm sure. Personally, I would pass on this one. The work with Kevin's bodyscissors early on was neat, and Gordy's selling was top-notch throughout, but overall thought that these two have put on much stronger performances. [Romdam 18]
