This Portland territory match is from 1988, the year before the Steve Austin we all know debuted in Texas. Somehow, I don't see this guy stomping mudholes in too many people.

Both those guys have great looks for 1983. It's too bad it was 1988.

Well, one of the top heels, he shared that honor with Sheepherder Jonathan Boyd and Al Madril. Anyway, yeah, even in 1986, he was the least interesting of the three because he just felt like a lower-rent version of Flair, Landel and a number of other guys I'd already seen on bigger platforms. Good worker, though, but just had nothing to really set him apart. |

Reminds me of Raven talking about how he'd go through thrift stores looking for jackets, shades, anything he could get cheap that'd help his image a little, and that a lot of wrestlers didn't seem to understand investing in their visual appeal. Granted, Scotty Flamingo/Johnny Polo/etc, looks uhhhh, a bit dated now, sure, but he at least made an impression, and obviously this would later be the case for the Raven stints as well. |

“All over him like a birthday cake” and then the guy on announce said something about birthday cake to the face near the end, was that some sort of angle they were running or what?
How do you hook the leg and the leg you hooked is the one that the guy puts on the rope to stop the pin?
