Tim Cooke Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Jim Breaks. I have only seen 3 of his matches but I am pretty convinced that he may be the greatest heel I have ever seen. He is sneaky, he is whiny, he is angry at the crowd, he cheats but swears he isn't, and the list goes on and on. Jim Breaks v Jon Cortez from 2/14/81 has Breaks really making the match. Cortez looks like a sturdy hand in the ring but without Breaks to really put a solid story into the match, he would be just another flashy euro mat work guy. Instead Breaks makes him look like 1000 bucks while getting over his character. Breaks v Grasshopper is the shortest match but features lots more jawing with the crowd and heel bufoonary. Breaks v Kung Fu is right up with the Cortez match as Breaks goes all out complaining about everything, being a prick. The ending literally made me pop up. It isn't intricate or anything but it works so well. Longer reviews after I watch some more this weekend. All 3 of these matches are on the World of Sport Vol-11 from Niall, FM, GH, or Ginnetty.

anarchistxx Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Breaks is an amazing heel. His mannerisms and berating of the crowd is fantastic. Unfortunately, I find his matches fairly tedious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anarchistxx Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 In the matches I've seen, him and his opponents have basically exchanged holds for the entirety of the bout. There may be a 2-3 Minutge period towards the finish when they do something else. Just not my sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
