Posted March 24, 201015 yr comment_5448585 American Heavyweight Title: Kevin Von Erich © vs. King Kong Bundy (12/25/82) Another solid match between these two and this was the best one I’ve seen as Kevin was fluid on the mat then showed fire on offense and sold well. Bundy was again great with his power game using his weight to weaken Kevin and used his strength to keep the claw away from his head. Kevin would finally lock in the claw but Bundy would get the ropes to break it that would piss Kevin off. Kevin would climb up top to hit Bundy with a chop but hit David Manning instead and Bundy would chunk him to the floor. Kevin would get rolled back in the ring and Bundy would try to hit his Avalanche in the corner but fucking David Manning would pull Kevin out of the corner then threw Kevin right into Bundy so he could pound on him as the crowd goes nuts. Kevin would hit a dropkick on Bundy and sent him to the floor with Manning raising Kevin’s hand for a DQ finish because he threw Kevin over the top rope. Horrible finish to a damn good match which really hampered it. Their other match had a better finish but this was a better match so I’m torn on a nomination. Next we get Mercer interviewing David Manning & Kerry about the Flair/Kerry match from 12/25/82 and this is all extra material. Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy vs. Brian Adias (1/7/83) Kerry is with Adias to offset Hayes but Hayes ain’t around. Slow match because Gordy is frustrated with Kerry being ringside and Adias being in control. Hayes would show up as Adias makes a comeback from being beaten on. Kerry chases Hayes around as Adias has a sleeper on Gordy and it distracts Adias letting Gordy recover to hit a piledriver for the win. Gordy would try another one after the match but Kerry would get ride of him. This was okay but had lots of heat. King Kong Bundy vs. Samu (1/7/83) Bundy said from now on that he wouldn't wrestle on TV unless they got permission from Devastation Inc. then he squashed Samu.
