Butch Miller vs. Buddy Rose
Best Two Out Of Three Falls Match
Sports Arena, Portland, Oregon, USA
Card
★★

Butch was super over with the crowd after his recent turn against Rose. This was a bread and butter affair with Rose a bumping machine, diving all over the place for Miller’s offense. Miller went fast and strong to start and didn’t let up at all throughout the first fall and ultimately wore Rose down to get the first pin.
Rose came back some in the second and managed to dish out some offense of his own and the equalising fall came from him using the ropes for leverage while Sandy Barr was unsighted.
The third fall was cut short as they ended up brawling outside and both were counted out. Miller got posted and sprung a gusher. He returned the favour to Rose who got colour too. They wouldn’t stop brawling and we had multiple guys from the back come down and try to tear them apart.
I loved Rose’s bumping here and again you could see him pulling the strings throughout, however this ended up feeling a bit one note and I think to an extent highlighted Miller’s weaknesses within a straight up singles setting. We didn’t get a fully fleshed out final fall and the brawling after the match wasn’t intense or substantial enough to make up for it.
