John Tatum, Jack Victory, + Jimmy Jack Funk vs Terry Gordy, Shaun, + Steve Simpson - Texas torbado match

 

This was fun. I thought Tatum and Funk looked awesome here. The Simpson's are the shits though. The heels made this match with a lot of help from Gordy. I'm going to give it a nomination, but I see it not going far.

Texas Tornado Match: Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy, Shaun & Steve Simpson vs. Jimmy Jack Funk, “Hollywood” John Tatum, & Jack Victory (8/26/88)

 

Gordy comes out ready for war as he breaks a chair with his feet before the match. This was all-action with everyone brawling around the ring pounding on each other. Gordy was great here throwing bombs on the heels especially Tatum and even putting him in a sasorigatame at one point. Jimmy Jack was the brawler of his team although his teammates held their own but the Simpson just didn’t look credible in there against these guys in this type of match. Gordy carried the load for his team although the Simpsons were integral to the finish as they ran Tatum off and tied up Victory in the ropes so Gordy could put Funk in a piledriver to get the win. I really liked this one and this should move forward mainly thanks to Gordy.

The Simpsons don't really stand out here, but I don't think they looked particularly bad, and everyone else was great. This moves forward.

- Early on, hard to keep up with everything. Until Gordy and Simpson 1 tried to do double sleepers, I didn’t think the Simpsons looked particularly bad. Also, after seeing Terry Gordy’s sharpshooter, I don’t want anyone to ever bitch about The Rock’s sharpshooter again. Good hot ending and this is a good solid nomination. I don’t know that I would fight for it on the set so I won’t move it to TX LOVE just quite yet. However, if anything gets moved out of LOVE I could see this replacing it.
