Texas Tornado Match: Kerry & Kevin Von Erich vs. The Dynamic Duo (“Gentleman” Chris Adams & “Handsome Halfbreed” Gino Hernandez (3/22/85)

 

Bad to the Bone hits the speakers and the Duo is on their way to the ring and I think that they are the first to use this as a theme song but I could be wrong. This was such a great feud between these two teams because it produced so many great matches and this could really be the last great feud of World Class. This was what you would expect from these four and this type of match as it was an all-action brawl with all four men busting their ass and hitting each other really hard. The match would go all over the ringside area with the fans going nuts and it had a great finish as Adams tried to throw Kevin over the top rope but he skinned the cat then hit a Victory Roll for an apparent pinfall until Gino came in with the Duo’s belts and slammed Kevin with the Texas title as Adams started hitting Kerry with the American title. Great finish to keep the feud going to cap off a wild fun match. Easy nomination.

I love Adam's Psicosis rudo schtick where he slaps the fans hands. The Dynamic Duo have such a Los Gringos Locos vibe to them. I could see the Duo headlining Mexico. The Freebirds could pull it off too.This feud has a Santo/Octagon vs. Barr/Guerrero feel to it. This is bad to the bone. Awesome, awesome stuff that will finish high on my ballot. The switching partners claw spot was so cool. I loved this and it's a slam dunk pick.

This was nuts. Heels getting frustrated and throwing chairs into the ring is one of my favorite stock spots in wrestling. Kerry actually catching the chair in mid-air was even better. You kinda wanted this to be No DQ so he could wallop somebody with it afterwords. Still, it didn't need to be, as these guys really brought the hurt. This moves forward.
