Posted September 29, 200817 yr comment_5434935 Kevin Von Erich vs. Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy (11/24/83) The battle of the big brothers is on again and these two could have a solid match in their sleep as they are so natural together. The heat is molten here as every time Kevin was in trouble the fans were going apeshit even during a test of strength. Kevin would focus on Gordy’s left thumb to set up the claw but Gordy would counter it until Kevin would get away catching Gordy with a cross body block for a nearfall. Gordy would come back though going for the Spike but Kevin rolled away and hooked the claw on Gordy but Gordy swung him over the top rope but not for a DQ. Gordy would then suplex Kevin back in the ring before climbing up top where he would miss a diving splash that Kevin would follow with his diving body press that Gordy would counter with his knees up. Kevin would come back though hitting his 180 splash off the top rope and gets the win then attacks Roberts who ran out after the match. Gordy takes off Buddy’s boot and pounded him with it before David & Kerry made the save. This was a good match but one of the lesser ones although it still gets a nomination consideration from me.
October 10, 200816 yr comment_5435101 I really enjoyed this, but kinda felt like it was a Kevin Von Erich one man show. I think Kev was an astoundingly good professional wrestler, and I enjoy his one man shows, but kinda prefer to see them when his opponent is someone like Magic Dragon who brings absolutely nothing to the table and needs the Kevin Von Erich one man show to make his matches exciting. Terry Gordy not only brings a lot to the table, but has brought a lot to the table in previous matches with Kevin. I mean, this is a better match than Kevin would have with Magic Dragon, it might even be worthy of a low-level nomination, but at this point, I expect more from this match-up.

The arm drag spots were great here. Kevin was great at working over Gordy's arm. Gordy is great at stooging. He does it without killing his big man cred. This is another killer bout between the 2 and a nomination. The aftermath was awesome. I agree this is a 1 man show here for the most part.
