Buzz Sawyer vs. Chris Adams (Fort Worth)

- Early on Sawyer goes charging into the ringpost so Adams works on the arm. That is so Wrestling 101. Too many matches where you don’t see that common sense. Hell, Adams holds onto the armbar with Sawyer giving him a freaking backbreaker. Nice. Adams holds on for dear life outside the ring when Sawyer tried to bail. The armbar work is fun and shows you don’t have to lay down and do nothing when you are working a body part. This is my favorite type of wrestling. Awesome way to break the freaking hold… Buzz starts BITING Adams leg. IT works briefly but Adams goes back to the arm. Buzz finally breaks free as Adams misses a body press and Buzz immediately headbutts him out of the ring. Buzz gives Adams a suplex on the concrete for good measure and starts biting him. Buzz starts working over Adams back with the big suplex, bearhug and nasty belly to belly. Hell he even resorts to a bearhug while laying on the ground. Oh shit, Buzz eats a SWEET superkick and Adams eats a Buzz Sawyer trademark powerslam in return. After the nice hot stretch run, Buzz gets the pin after reversing the Adams body press and grabbing the tights. On every set, there are matches you come out of never havng seen and knowing you are going to rank it high. This was better than any Flair match I have seen from WCCW so far. This will rank very high. STONE COLD LOCK for the set.

World Class TV Title: "Gentleman" Chris Adams © vs. "Mad Dog" Buzz Sawyer (6/16/86)

 

Buzz worked his last match for the UWF at the Superdome 2 days earlier and now he has jumped to World Class. Buzz missed a running shoulderblock into the corner early hitting all ringpost which allowed Adams to work over his left shoulder which went from the ring to the floor then back to the ring. Buzz did what he could to try and break free including biting Adams on the leg and a great leapfrog exchange that ended up with an Adams body press for a nearfall then back to the arm. Buzz finally got his chance when Adams missed a running headbutt and went to the floor where Buzz would give him a suplex followed up by some biting. Buzz then went to work on Adams' back with a belly-to-belly followed up by a bodyscissors which was nice. Buzz then used a grounded bearhug but Adams would fight back until Buzz took him back down with the grounded bearhug. Adams would break free again though and would just nuke Buzz with a Superkick but was too weak to go for the pin. Buzz recovered quick and would hit a big powerslam but this time he couldn't go for the pin so he would climb up top where he missed his big splash. Adams made his comeback here hitting a reverse cross body block off the middle rope but Buzz would tuck and roll using the tights to get the win. This was damn good and a solid nomination.

Not a whole lot I can add to what guys have already said. Suffice it to say, this was a loaded bout, and it moves forward.
