Posted October 13, 200817 yr comment_5435157 This is 2/3 falls. Their actual feud has been over for a few months now, but that doesn't stop Iceman from laying into Roberts like in the good old days. Roberts gets knocked to the outside early on and says "Here we go again!", and sure enough, we've got another violent brawl on our hands. A lot more comedy, too - Parsons doing a two-step into kneelifts to Robert's butt while he has him in the ropes escaping a hammerlock come to mind - but then it's a longer match than anything they did in their feud proper. Probably a better match, too. Parsons is as stiff as he's ever been, blasting Roberts with his chops and his nasty-looking leaping clothesline. Roberts fires back with a top-rope headbutt to the back of the head of a standing Parsons that would have been Benoit-level stupid if it weren't for Buddy's headgear. He's got a bunch of other great headbutts, too, as well frequently going after Parsons' burned face. Actual clean finish, too, which is a rare commodity in World Class, to say the least. Slam dunk nomination.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_5438407 This was a total blast, and I'll second the nomination. I liked the tight snug work both wrestlers brought, Robert's bumps also added to the stiffness. The chop that Parson's threw was wicked. It was weird not to hear the crowd go whoooo. Parsons shows a ton of personality in the bout. The audience digs him. He was also awesome in his selling of the headbutts. I was with everything they did in the bout. The 2nd rope buttbutt was tremendous. I thought the execution of all the ideas in the bout was well done.
November 27, 200915 yr comment_5446051 2 out of 3 falls: Iceman King Parsons vs. Buddy Roberts (12/12/83) This feud is revisited here and it wasn't long before both men remembered how much they hated each other especially Iceman who was just laying in the shots. Iceman would miss a splash off the top rope allowing Buddy to recover and he hit a diving headbutt in Iceman's back off the top rope to win the fall. Iceman then took over in the second fall and went back to pounding on Buddy but again Buddy was game here and got the control back but not for long as Iceman was too tough hitting a big clothesline followed up by a vicious kneelift and a cross body block to even the falls. Buddy would start the third fall using his loaded headgear to assume the control and he roughhoused Iceman before Iceman would just send him to the floor. Iceman would even break out a 3/4 nelson out of the abdominable stretch for a nearfall here before getting a bearhug. Buddy still continues to bring the fight and is quite the pesky foe but Iceman would finish him off with a Butt Butt off the middle rope to win. Very fun and a easy nomination.
