Taped Fist Match: Iceman King Parsons vs. One Man Gang (10/6/85)

 

Kerry is in Iceman’s corner to offset Gary Hart. This match has rounds with quasi boxing rules but has wrestling rules with it as well. Both men throw some great punches to start and it takes a turn when Iceman hits the Butt Butt tieing up Gang in the ropes before he falls to the floor. Gang would come back in the ring to end the 1st round and he would get more offense in the 2nd round but Iceman would finish strong having Gang in a compromising position as the bell rang. Gang would take control in the 3rd round using his weight to put the pressure on Iceman but Iceman would make a comeback before trying to attack Gary Hart who would give Gang some coins. Gang would miss with the coins as Iceman would pick them up and hit Gang with them sending him to the floor where he would get counted out as Kerry puts the claw on Hart. This was a good match with some damn good punches thrown and I’m throwing it on the block.

2. One Man Gang vs Iceman Parsons - taped fist match; Cotton Bowl

 

OMG's Andre bump was neat. The subsequent bump to the floor was king sized.This was fun enough to go forward.

Interesting gimmick. This was a great slugfest as you might imagine, and Kerry and Hart both were effective cornermen. Liked their little showdown between the second and third rounds and their brawl at the end. Parsons dodging Gang's loaded punches at the end was leading to the big knockout blow to the outside was a suitably strong finish to the match. This moves forward.

One Man Gang vs. Iceman King Parsons (Taped Fist Match)

- They dance around each other like boxers early on until OMG nails Ice with a big fist. Iceman has some nice punches. Ice gets Gang tied up in the ropes after a big thump. Lubich pulls Gang’s arm over the ropes, since it was the only thing holding him up, he takes a nasty spill to the floor. That looked like it hurt. They are really playing this up like a boxing match including rounds but this is more entertaining than Piper vs. Mr. T, I guess. 2nd round played more like a wrestling match but no big bbumps or moves, just hard punches. Ice uses his speed in the 3rd round to really unload on OMG. It looks like he is gassed and big punch takes Gang down and Ice wins the match while Kerry handles Gary Hart on the outside. I liked this enough to give it a nomination but it isn’t something I would fight for. However, the unique stipulation might be enough to make it stand out on the set.
