Hair vs. Hair Lumberjack Match: Kerry & Kevin Von Erich vs. The Dynamic Duo (“Gentleman” Chris Adams & “Handsome Halfbreed” Gino Hernandez) (10/6/85)

 

There is no shadow of a doubt in my mind that this isn’t a slam dunk nomination as all the hatred over the past year has come to a head here with this big stipulation match and all four men work their ass off to make this great.

4. Kerry + Kevin Von Erich vs Chris Adams + Gino hernandez - hair match; Cotton Bowl

This is one of my all time favorite angles. The heat is amazing. This is a lock and one of the most memoreable bouts in the history of the promotion. The aftermath was amazing.

This is the last really hyped match going into this project that I hadn't seen yet. Suffice it to say, this ain't the New Japan set. No shitty Tiger Mask/Dynamite Kid matches, no boring Inoki/Fujinami matches, not even any great but mildly overrated Fujinami/Maeda matches. Everything that came into this project hyped as a potential #1 contender totally deserved that hype, and this was no exception. If this doesn't move forward, nothing does.

Kerry & Kevin Von Erich vs. Dynamic Duo (Parade of Champions)

- Good heel teamwork early on with Kevin working FIP. Great spot with Kevin hitting the stomach claw on Gino, Kerry stopping Adams coming in so Adams climbs the top and hits an axehandle to break the claw. Kerry comes in to a huge pop and kicks some ass. Adams turns the tide with a punch and a superkick. For shits and giggles, I put the superkick on slow motion and Kerry dropped before the kick connected but in regular time, it looked swank. Great heel work on Kerry and the crowd is hanging on to every move. Oh shit, after a brawl breaks out, Kevin gets thrown over and Adams delivers a sick kick to Kerry’s head. Then they throw powder in Kerry’s eyes. As Kerry gets his eyes washed out, the Duo works over Kevin. However, when they throw the powder in to Kevin, he ducks and Adams gets the powder while Kerry recovers and rolls up Adams for the pin. Of course, we get the classic head shaving. What a great match and I can see it somewhere in my Top 20.
