The Boss, Man is he Big

[Grimmas]

I've been watching a lot of Bossman lately. Actually I am kind of OCD and have been watching his stuff in chronological order from his WWF debut. I am up to his Hogan matches.

 

There is one match I would like to mention that I haven't seen mentioned. It's against Koko B. Ware at MSG from October 24th, 1988. We all know Koko is really great against monsters, but this may had been the best one I saw yet. It's a lot of Bossman destroying Koko with his cool varied offence and Koko getting in a few furies of hope spots.

 

The finish is what really stands out. Bossman does the coolest looking body slam I have seen in the history of wrestling and then goes for a big splash, which Koko moves out of the way and gets a lot of punches and stuff in, then he goes for a cross body block which gets countered into the Bossman slam for the win. Very cool finish, I thought.

Big Bubba vs Jumbo Tsuruta, 1988

 

Was interested to see this. Because our uploader friend labelled it with "shoot?"

 

I think he was referring to the finish. Solid bout with Jumbo getting more and more violent as the match went on. Bubba needed help walking back.
