Posted February 15, 201015 yr comment_5447850 "The Cat" Bob Bradley vs. Skip Young (5/13/88) After watching the immortal Brickhouse Brown shoot interview, Brick said that Skip was a serious crack addict at this time but he looked pretty good here. Bradley was aggressive on offense throwing Skip to the floor then choking him with a wire and I think he is pissed because Skip busted him hardway so they blur out his face on every closeup. Bradley would miss the Superfly Splash off the top rope allowing Skip to make his comeback which was very slow paced although Bradley bumps all over the ring. They start counting down the minutes so you know it's going to a draw and as this happens there is a cool rolling small package exchange with both guys rolling through the other one's attempt before the bell rings. Percy Pringle interviews Skandor Akbar about the future of Devastation Inc. Then we get clips of the Embry/Casey feud. Pringle then interviews Gordy & Shaun Simpson about their new partnership. Samu vs. Mike Morrow (5/13/88) Squash. Pringle then interviews Kerry about winning the title from Iceman and talks about how odd it is to be on the same side with Percy which he sells with a hilarious facial. Next is a Missing Link video. Percy Pringle interviews Iceman & Roberts for a fun little promo with Buddy introducing his black glove. Then we get clips of Taylor & Iceman attacking Kevin Von Erich in Fort Worth on 5/9/88. Extra material. Solomon Grundy vs. Jim Richardson (5/13/88) Squash. Buddy Roberts vs. Michael “PS” Hayes (5/13/88) Hayes has tremendous crowd heat going at this time and he really just beats the piss out of Roberts early who is great at taking a beating. Hayes would go for a bulldog headlock on the floor but Buddy throw him into the ringpost giving him the opening to begin his offensive barrage where he would go all out to take out Hayes including choking him with the security rope. Hayes would come back though using a steel chair before we had a ref bump and a low blow by Buddy so he could put on his black glove but Hayes would fight back until Buddy hit him with the glove. Roberts is bleeding hardway from above the eye and gets the pin on Hayes. The crowd loudly chants bullshit and this was fucking awesome. Slam dunk nomination.
