Posted July 10, 200916 yr comment_5441747 Total blast, Pedro couldn’t do much so this was the Funk show, as he busts out all of his shtick, crazy bumping, stooging, flying around. Reminded me of the Guerrerros working Jose Lothario. How we did a WWF set with no Funk is beyond me. Nomination
July 14, 200916 yr comment_5441953 Phil made me watch three of the matches from this Boston Garden show to temper his enthusiasm. I liked all three but am not sure what to do with any of them. I dug both this and the Bruno/Orndorf v Orton/Piper tag. Both really satisfying. Both had really similar heels in role of guy who stooge get pantsed and bump around for the faces. Bruno brought more to the table as face than Morales but on some level the one man Funk show is the more fun stooging bumping heel show. Still there was a certain sameness to watching two of these matches in a row. A whole set of WWF formula heels fly around, get pantsed and stooge for WWF faces is going to be a mess of indistinguishable matches.
June 23Jun 23 comment_6031719 TERRY FUNK vs PEDRO MORALES (01/11/1986; WWF Boston Garden; 00:13:45) - Funk was bullshitting early on so Pedro backs him up early and slaps him silly so Terry has to go outside and regroup. Terry’s shtick and jawing with the fans, Gorilla and anyone within ear shot is awesome. Funk playing tag with Pedro’s face. Draping Pedro over the middle rope and kicking him in the head was nasty. Funk using the rope and foreign objects only to have Pedro do the same later was perfect. What the fuck is Funk doing crawling in the stairs at ringside??? He is absolutely nuts. The announcers really put over the final megaphone shot and how Pedro’s head left a dent. STRONG NOMINATION.
