Posted April 1, 200916 yr comment_5438252 Ricky Morton vs. Grappler #2 (Tony Anthony) (1/24/83) Morton comes out blazing with punches and a dropkick sending the Grappler to the floor. Morton keeps up the fight after the Grappler comes back into the ring but a missed dropkick led to the Grappler working over Morton’s left shoulder. Morton fight back though using his right hand throwing punches to the Grappler keeping him at bay. Grappler would use a cheapshot though to regain the advantage going back to work on the left shoulder. The fans are hot for Morton as he made his comeback where he would break out his huracarana before hitting a cross body block for the win. The other Grappler comes out as the pin was counted for a double-team until Sweetan made the save. This was a good TV match and I’m throwing this on the block as a low-end nomination.
May 8, 200916 yr comment_5439246 Grappler 2 v Morton This has a hot start. I dug the Grapplers arm and shoulder work on Morton. Morton's fire was great here. This was a blast, but falls short because of the DQ finish, and it was a tad short 5 minutes. Though I can't fault the work.
March 26, 201015 yr comment_5448645 This was a five-minute match, and honestly, it wasn't even great by that standard. This is Southwest. It is a promotion filled with good long competitive squashes. I don't see how a match like this would go on ahead of Relampago Leon vs. Nick Ramirez, Wahoo McDaniel vs. Juan Reynosa, Dick Slater vs. Grenade Bowyer, Patton & Robley vs. Kiniski & Leon, or Gino Hernandez vs. Tom Prichard. And outside of Leon/Ramirez, it's not like I'm pushing for any of those to be on the set (well, pushing for Wahoo/Reynosa as an extra, but that's it).
