“Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich vs. One Man Gang (11/15/85)

 

Kerry started out blazing sending the Gang to the floor then running after him before Gang would post him as he would come back to the ring. Gang would go back after him though and Kerry was ready for him attacking him and posting him as revenge before going back to the ring where he would try to lock in the iron claw. Kerry would keep the pressure on Gang giving him everything he had and keeping the Gang at bay but Gang would get his shots in as well making Kerry fight for everything he could get. Kerry would go for the discus punch but Gang would put Rick Hazzard in the way and Kerry just keeps punching away putting Gang in the ropes. Hazzard would call for the DQ as both men were getting ready for a wild brawl. This was a fucking great hard hitting brawl and a easy nomination.

1. Kerry Von Erich vs One Man Gang

 

I've always thought it was kinda neat to see the faces sign autographs during the prematch. I dug how the wrestlers both posted each other. I like good revenge spots. I dug how KVE was working over OMG's shoulder. It's a shame he went away from it This was a good spirited brawl.. I thought this was a good battle. It was a tad short, but still had so many great moments that I'll give it a nomination. OMG has been awesome here.

Another fine bout between these two. This moves forward.

One Man Gang vs. Kerry Von Erich

- This starts off HOT! Kerry unloads on Gang and sends him over the top rope with a dropkick. He follows up on Gang and Gang turns the tide by ramming his shoulder in the ring post. Kerry gets in and hooks on the claw and pulls Gang over the top rope with the claw applied. Gang gets his foot on the ropes for the save. Kerry whips Gang into the ringpost. What was cool is that most wrestlers get rammed inbetween the middle and top rope. Gang hits the ringpost leaping on the top rope. Kerry works on the arm, ducks a Gang clothesline and hits a big lariat of his own. OMG and Kerry take turns battling back and forth but OMG pulls the ref in the way of a Kerry punch and knocks him out. The two continue to battle until Rick Hazzard comes to and DQs the Gang. This was the best match I have seen between the two. NO definitive ending but I liked the way Gang threw the ref into harm’s way. Nomination.
