Posted October 15, 200816 yr comment_5435219 Kevin & Mike Von Erich vs. “Handsome Halfbreed” Gino Hernandez & Jake “The Snake” Roberts (10/12/84) Gino breaks out the double belts to prove he is OUR champion and the interaction with Jake & Nicola is pretty odd to watch. A loud We Want Stella chant goes up as the match is starting and it is horrible that she was basically the #1 babyface in the promotion at this time or at least equal to the Von Erichs. We start with a great exchange as Jake begs to start with Mike who would take him down before tagging in Kevin who would hit a swank Frankensteiner. The crowd goes nuts as Stella Mae shows up to confront Nicola taking the focus away from the match. Kevin does a good job of fighting off both heels before Jake comes in and takes control before tagging in Gino where that control went away. Kevin would work on Gino then tried his diving body press but met Gino’s feet in the air although Kevin would bounce back hitting his 180 splash on Gino for the quick win. Mike would get tossed to the floor allowing Kevin to get double teamed but Mike would come back to even the odds. Very fun stuff and I’m throwing it on the block although this was a very short match.
November 4, 200816 yr comment_5435543 Gino Hernandez + Jake Roberts vs Kevin + Mike Von Erich Gino is the man. I liked this a lot. That exchange that Roberts has with Mike at the beginning was fantastic. The reaction it got from the crowd was huge for something so simple. Roberts taking a Frankensteiner from Kevin was neat. Overall, I liked what I saw but not enough time was given for it to distinquish itself among a lot of other matches. I give this a no as a nomination.
December 10, 200915 yr comment_5446331 Not bad, but felt like it needed a babyface comeback at the end. I mean, I didn't really want to see Mike coming in off the hot tag, but still, I'm passing on this one. [Romdam 31]
