Posted October 22, 200816 yr comment_5435330 “The Crippler” Rip Oliver vs. Iceman King Parsons (12/25/84) Iceman wants his revenge here and this match is a lot like their first match but longer and with more Rip offense. Both men work their ass off here looking really good and Oliver gets the big win using the shoulderbreaker as Iceman is heading for Mid-South. I’m going to give this a low-end nomination because the work was really good here.
November 14, 200816 yr comment_5435718 Iceman Parsons vs Rip Oliver - Reunion Arena I thought this was good. Parson's cranking the headlock was good stuff. It was just good tight work. I thought Oliver was great at being a shit bag working over Parsons. All of Parson's offense looked good. In fact both wrestlers looked good. I liked how Parson's hurt his shoulder on the bump into the corner. I would have prefered to see Oliver work it over some and then go for his finish; instead of just going to his finish. Overall, this was good stuff, but falls short of a nomination.
January 1, 200916 yr comment_5436588 I thought this was pretty great. I hadn't seen much of Oliver before, but he was fantastic, took all these great high-speed bumps, especially off of Iceman's armdrags, and was really vicious on offense. Iceman was hard-hitting as always, and his missed charge to the corner leading to the finish was one of the nastiest looking corner bumps I've ever seen. Shoulderbreakers usually seem weird as finishers, but after that bump, you totally buy that Parsons wouldn't be able to go on. I get the feeling that if these two had a 2/3 falls TV main event against each other, it could make my top ten. I mean, this was really high-end stuff for the time and relatively low profile they were given. As is, still feels like a solid nomination. [Legends of WCCW Featuring 12/25/84 Star Wars]
