[1990-03-16-USWA Texas] Steve Austin vs Chris Adams

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. Referee Tony Falk gets bumped, which creates an opening for Akbar to trip Adams, and for Austin to pull out brass knucks again. But the referee comes to just in time to see Adams with them, and Adams takes the DQ loss so he can punch Austin. Similar finish to the week before, but it's building to a match the following Friday with no referee.

I had to confirm that this wasn't a repeat of the previous match. In the short amount of footage there was a pretty contrived-looking ref bump and Adams rather stupidly running right at Akbar so he could get tripped.

This is the same clip as before isn't it. Percys call on commentary is the same.

[Kevin Ridge]

Totally seemed like the same match as previous one between them.

[Cox]

Either this is the same match, or Austin was so green at this point, that Adams had to call the same match spot for spot, including finish, two weeks in a row. I'm not ruling that out, either.

[garretta]

This is definitely the same match as the one the previous week. Not only is Percy's commentary the same, so is Marc's.

[drew wardlaw]

Yeah, looks like its the same match. I was going to be upset it was specifically said in the Chris Adams promo that no closed fists would be allowed, and what's the first thing we see here? A closed fist!

Unfortunately this is a repeat of the match from 3/9. Shame as I was looking forward to the ‘scientific match’ between the two of them.
