This was awesome even though Harley wasn't doing the full Akeem dance. Never really saw him as the type to do even the type of moves he was doing but I suppose the office told him and he was a company guy.
These overseas shows produced some interesting footage. Most interesting to me was seeing S.D. Jones (I think in France) versus Sika and S.D. comes out to Piledriver. He had a full entrance coming out of the tunnel, not just a jobber in-ring announcement.

My Italian is rudimentary but the announcer said of Akeem: "He's not from Chicago, he's from Africa"

JYD and Blair would be gone within the month and were both slated for the Jake/Duggan Survivor Series team (one replaced the other who was then replaced).
Akeem had just transformed about a month ago and his name was misspelled which I guess was the fault of the Italian side. I suppose Hakeem is the normal way of spelling.
Race seemed to be in no man's land at this point. He wasn't a face but it didn't even seem like he was a heel. He was a heel by way of his last major run in WWF but really he just seemed "there" not really doing anything of note.

Apparently the WWF ran a Battlebowl and we never knew about it.

Apparently the WWF ran a Battlebowl and we never knew about it. Good comparison. These two teams have nothing in common. Around 87 they would have random six man tag featuring guys like Koko, Steele, Hillbilly, Bass, Muraco and Orton, Haynes etc... Jim Brunzell would still be under contract for a while so they could certainly have had a Bees match and perhaps Akeem with Bossman or another Slick guy like Bolsheviks. But it is a very unique match up. |
