I watched this match about a minute ago, and I already miss Jimmy Garvin. This probably wasn't the ideal way for him to exit the territory, and the mixed tag aspect will probably drag it down for some people, but still thought it was a great match and something I would fight for. First match I've seen where Adams comes out of the gate brawling, and for a guy I don't usually think of as a great brawler in the traditional sense, he does it quite well. Guy I think of more for his kicks than his punches, but has some really good looking body shots. Garvin can give it right back to him, but does spend a lot of the match getting knocked around including getting dropped by Adams with an inadvertent backdrop driver. Stella Mae and Precious fighting is fine in a "most of your better WWE Divas matches" sort of way. Stella is entertaining enough as a tough old broad and throws decent-looking forearms, and Precious bumps and stooges well for her. Garvin sells for her, too, which might irk some people, but I can roll with it. I enjoyed the match too much not to.

Adams/French vs Garvin/Precious - 7/4/1984

 

I thought this was a total blast.The women would get involved just enough, but not too much to take away from the men. Adams was on fire just bringing to Garvin. that back drop that Garvin took I thought he was going to break his neck. Also the Adams missed dive from the top of the cage was huge. The finish was good booking. I'm torn on a nomination. I thought this bout served its purpose; but I'm not sure if it deserves a nomination.

Losers Leaves Town Steel Cage Match: “Gentleman” Chris Adams & Stella Mae French vs. “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin & Precious (7/4/84)

 

Sunshine was in drug rehab at this time or something so they created the Stella Mae French character here who was so horrible but got over like a freight train. Garvin wears black trunks here which is a rarity at this time. Great heat here as expected and Adams was relentless dishing out the offense to Garvin as well as Stella Mae who was fighting like man which she probably was a hermaphrodite anyway. Garvin would get some offense in before Adams nuked him with a backdrop suplex. Garvin would try to climb the cage but got his tights pulled down showing his ass before Adams would miss a huge splash off the top of the cage. Garvin would again go back on offense but Stella Mae would come in to turn a Boston Crab by Garvin into a cradle by Adams to win the match and send the Garvin’s packing. This was really fun and deserves a nomination.

Jimmy Garvin & Precious vs. Chris Adams & Stella Mae (Cage)

 

I liked this bout and will cosign it as a nom. Stella Mae was good here thanks to Garvin, and Precious getting killed here. I miss Garvin also who has been a real gem so far here. Adams missed splash from the top of the cage was huge. Neat little finish too. If not a nom, an extra.

 

I looked at this again.
