Texas Tornado Match: Kerry & Kevin Von Erich vs. The Dynamic Duo (“Gentleman” Chris Adams & “Handsome Halfbreed” Gino Hernandez) (7/26/85)

 

The Duo has all four belts with them and this is a key rematch for this feud from 4 months earlier. This is a wild all-action match with all four men just beating each other’s ass with stiff strikes and brawling around the whole ringside area. There was a great spot where the Duo had sleepers on the Von Erichs when both would counter it into stereo iron claws. The crowd heat here was tremendous as this was a serious money feud that produced some great matches. Gino would hold Kevin up by the hair allowing Adams to pop him with the Superkick before a spike piledriver on the floor further injuring Kevin. Kerry would fight it out alone with discus punches as Kevin tried to get back in the ring until the numbers game caught up to him. Kevin was being helped to the back until he went apeshit and ran back to the ring attacking the Duo like a wildman. Duo then tuck tail and run through the back door as the crowd is insane. This is simply phenomenal and as slam dunk as it gets as far as a nomination. Could be a Top 5 match.

Kerry + Kevin Von Erich vs Chris Adams + Gino Hernandez

 

I thought this was an all action brawl that moves forward. I dug the double Von Erich elbow drops. The spike piledriver on the floor to Kevin was great. Kevin's selling of the piledriver I liked. I dug how Kevin was being helped to the back, but decide to come running back to save Kerry was good drama, and popped the crowd big. A definite nomination.

Not much more to add about this one. Fantastic. It moves forward.
