Iceman King Parsons & Skip Young vs. The Pretty Young Things (Norvell Austin & Koko Ware) (8/17/84)

 

Skip looked awesome early on with his leapfrogs and his takedowns that led to a great jumping high five with Iceman as they ran to the middle of the ring. Iceman would tag in and it was more of the same for Norvell before he tagged Koko in the ring who caught Iceman flush with a shot but as Koko strutted away, Iceman trailed him and nearly punched his lights out. Skip would come back in but this time the PYT’s started taking control with Koko hitting a nice powerslam that led into their control section. Iceman would soon get the hot tag and started throwing bombs on the PYT’s with Koko begging his ass off but he would catch Iceman in the running lights with a knee smash in the face that would lead to another control section with the PYT’s just pounding on Iceman. PYT’s looked great here as they showed a lot of aggression but Iceman would fight back before making the hot tag to Skip who came in blazing until Iceman could join him. The 4-way brawl is on until Skip ducks a double clothesline and converts it into a cross body block on Norvell for the win. PYT’s are pissed and throw Iceman to the floor so they can beat on Skip some more but he gets back in the ring to send them running. Great match and a definite nomination.

7. PYT's vs Skip Young + Iceman Parsons

 

This was good. We had both faces getting a chance to shine. This allowed Skip to work in his athleticism into the match This is the best use of Skip. The jumping high five was classic shuck and jive stuff. Parson's FIP was done well. The PYT's were great in this as well. Plus we get a fun finish. This is a solid nomination.

If you liked Skip Young's match with Butch Reed on the Mid-South set, you'll love him in World Class, where he is given a bit more of a substantive role. This is a fine example, and really, everyone comes up big here. This moves forward.
