Posted September 18, 200817 yr comment_5434682 American Heavyweight Title: Kevin Von Erich © vs. Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy (1/21/83) David is at ringside in Kevin’s corner here to start the match and I liked the story of this match as the two “big brothers” of the feud are facing each other to see who is the best and it’s for the #1 title in the promotion to boot along with a shot at Flair the next taping. This was a well worked match early on with both men trading the advantage on the mat but the emotions would get riled up when Gordy chunked Kevin to the floor who then proceeded to give out a yell before going back in the ring and throwing Gordy into the corner where he did the Flair bump to the floor. Gordy would soon counter with two hot shots on the top rope that really got Kevin in the throat and sent him to the floor. Kevin would get a small comeback though once back in the ring getting a nearfall on a cross body block but Gordy would take him back to the mat. Hayes & Roberts would soon come down to the ring to cheer Gordy on but it wouldn’t stop Kevin from making a comeback and getting the claw on Gordy but the Birds would distract the referee so Kevin would throw Gordy into Roberts. Kevin would then try to slam Gordy but Hayes would sneak in and tripped him so Gordy would fall on Kevin to get the win. The crowd is pissed as the Birds celebrate and this is great stuff. I think this is a solid nomination.

The wrestlers worked a nice headlock spot on the ground. It looks like it's about to break out in a brawl, but Kevin starts working the headlock on the floor. The hot shot that Gordy delivers was nasty. I liked the finish which I thought added heat to the feud. I'm not going to give this a nomination, it lacked heat to me and I know the wrestlers have much better match in them. Some of Bam Bam's bumps were monsterous.
