Posted December 4, 200915 yr comment_5446178 DVD #19 8/24/85 Terry Funk vs. Hansen - I can see the argument that this wasn't enough of a match to make it. There was about a 96 percent chance that it would end by DQ with a bullrope around Terry's neck. But damn, I enjoyed the ride to that inevitability. These guys just knew how to brawl, never giving each other a moment to breath before the next punch or kick. Great couterpunches and bumps from Terry as he played the underdog to Stan's bionic monster. I dug the postmatch too, with Dory coming out to nail Stan and Dibiase with his cowboy boot, and them throwing chairs all over the arena. This will make a swell change-of-pace, and I'm nominating it. Choshu vs. Singh - Choshu got wrestling. I mean, he figured out a formula to pull consistently hot matches out of fucking Tiger Jeet Singh: Start a wild brawl from the bell, sell the shit out of Singh's dirty offense, pop the crowd with a few intense rallies and get the hell out in less than 10 minutes. I liked their first match better, so I'll leave this one on the shelf. But I was entertained. Baba/Dory/Tenryu vs. Brooks/Tim Horner/Marty Janetty - Gee, who were the favorites in this match? Despite a few amusing moments, it went way too long for what it was.
