Posted November 1, 200817 yr comment_5435484 Snuka's roid body and skintight mesh jacket make me wonder if Antonio Pena was as inspired by Jim Barnett as Victor Quinonnes was. Snuka and Terry Gordy are tag partners in Georgia, and it's kind of interesting to see a bit of the Von Erichs/Freebirds feud play out in Georgia. Snuka was on the tail end of his period of greatness, but still had some gas left in the tank. And I've praised Kevin plenty at this point. I'm starting to think he might have been the best worker of 1983. He throws a lot of neat armdrags in the beginning, and busts out his cool rolling jujigatame takedown. Middle is a bit slow, with Snuka throwing on a bunch of restholds, but Kevin has a high energy comeback. Really cool finish, too. Kevin actually kicks out of the Superfly Splash, which, some 25 years later, is still pretty mind blowing. He tries to follow up with a clawhold, but Kevin blocks it, smacks his hand away, and then applies his own Iron Claw, forcing Gordy to run in for the DQ. Really cool studio match. I actually see it as a low-level nomination. [Von Erichs (Disc 4)]
