Posted May 30, 201015 yr comment_5451424 Rick Rude vs. Iceman Parsons (Fort Worth) - 1st fall, starts off with Rude giving a strength demonstration and letting Iceman apply the Full Nelson and Rude breaks up twice. Oof, Iceman gives a shitty hip toss. A lot of bullshit early on with Rude playing chickenshit and Percy Pringle getting involved. Iceman works an armbar but nothing really exciting going on. However, Rude turns the tide and starts attacking the back. No better way to get brownie points with me than working on a body part. Rude works the bearhug and abdominal stretch which the color guy calls an anatomical stretch. Iceman makes the big comeback and wins the first fall with the butt bump. - 2nd fall, Rude goes back to the back after being stunned in the 1st round. This time, he works in the camel clutch chinlock. Rude and Ice are really working the camel clutch well with Rude cheating and Percy distracting). Ice breaks it with an electric chair drop. Ice and Rude battle back and forth but Rude catches Ice and drops him throat first on the rope, Jumbo style to score the 2nd fall. - 3rd fall, big battle back and forth. Iceman gets the best of Rude so Percy gets on the mic, distracts Ice, Rude rams Ice in the back and hits Ice with the DDT to become the new American Champion. Really great, intense match. Slam Dunk from where I stand.

Rude would start the next fall going back to work on Iceman's back this time using a camel clutch and Iceman's hair to weaken him. Iceman would get up with Rude on his back for an electric chair drop but Rude was still relentless until Iceman started fighting back. Rude would give Iceman a Hot Shot though to even the falls. Rude continued to work over Iceman to start the 3rd fall but again Iceman would make a good comeback until Pringle would get on the mic to rip up Iceman allowing Rude to attack him from behind and hit a very weak DDT for the win. I wasn't as high as this as Will but this should move forward.
June 20, 201015 yr comment_5452181 This definitely kept me entertained starting with the great early shtick and having great action throughout. I think it would've worked better as a one-fall match, as it looked like they were running out of stuff by the end and the match was starting to lap itself, but they wrapped it up before that could get too bad. This moves forward.
