Will mentioned the clip, but I think it was just the first few minutes of a 30-minute draw. I don't see it as a reason not to include the match. This featured a lot of top-notch mat stuff. It reminded me of the Jumbo-Slater match in that every little move felt fought over. In one particularly nifty sequence, Bockwinkel held on during a Robinson armdrag and rolled through to apply a hammerlock. Robinson bumped bigger than I expected, and they really slugged it out down the stretch. This kept me engaged all the way, and I'd like to get Robinson on the set. So I'll nominate it.

Nick Bockwinkel vs. Billy Robinson (12/11/80)

- This was pretty damn great but it had a big clip right in the beginning. I need to find out how long this match is to see how much we missed. If it was only a few minutes, I think this needs to be nominated. If it was half of an hour long draw then I would probably leave it off or look for it on an alternative source.
