Posted October 9, 200816 yr comment_5435081 “Gentleman” Chris Adams vs. “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin (4/15/84) Precious & Sunshine get into it as soon as they hit the ring and it would get them kicked out of the ringside area. This had some really good back and forth action as neither one of them could hold the advantage for any long period of time. These two worked together so much that they developed great chemistry and Garvin was a great opponent for Adams to showcase himself. Adams spent lots of time working on the mat here and this was like a MUGA match but the tide with turn after Garvin would go to the floor to regroup and he would come back in taking it to Adams. Garvin took control and held it until Adams would counter a suplex with one of his own. Precious would show back up distracting Adams enough for Garvin to go back on offense but it wasn’t long before Sunshine chased Precious back into the ring which would distract Garvin this time letting Adams get an inside cradle for the win. This was a damn solid match and should go on the block.
October 28, 200816 yr comment_5435417 Jimmy Garvin vs Chris Adams - North Texas State University A cat Fight to start that gets the crowd going. Garvin's attire is tremendous. The mat work here is real solid from both men. This has a real Mid-Atlantic feel to it. Adams cranking the headlock and working spots around it. Garvin would get the advantage on the mat for a tad bit, but eventually Adams would find an answer and reverse the hold. This was a nice give and take bout. I liked how Garvin focused on Adam's neck. Of course the women lead to the finish. I liked how the wrestlers got the time to work. I thought the wrestlers could have pushed the pace more. It seemed a little rest holdy to me. Though the holds played into the story they were telling. Overall, though I liked it and it goes forward for me.
December 5, 200915 yr comment_5446196 This may have been the best feud in World Class other than Von Erichs/Freebirds, and this was an excellent chapter in it. The opening catfight was pretty intense. Sunshine is always feisty, but Precious is usually presented as more of an instigator than an aggressor. Here she was really aggressive, and I loved both of their reactions to being sent to the back and Adams and Garvin's attempts to pacify them. Matwork was awesome as Kris mentioned. I have seen Adams bust out some really cool counters to Garvin's camel clutch before, so I really dug their work there and Garvin's blocking Adams' counters. Like Kris said, very MUGAish. In general, Garvin's performance on the mat reminded me a lot of The Destroyer. Not only was the work sharp, but his comic heeling while working holds and working in holds really added to it. I love this feud, and this is maybe the best match I've seen from these two outside of the cage match that's still my working #1. No question that this goes on. [Romdam 26]
