[Loss]

Talk about it here.

 

[Moonsault Marvin]

Pat O'Connor and Bob Konovsky take on Hans Schmidt and Angelo Poffo in a two out of three falls match. Early in the match, I was somewhat confused by the punching and dirty rope breaks by O'Connor, with Schmidt and Poffo actually being the heels. O'Connor's flexibility is impressive with his bridging up multiple times. When Konovsky got in the ring, he was eaten alive as Schmidt and Poffo dominated him in the corner as they made quick tags. Schmidt was laying it in with his strikes to the back. They easily won the first fall. Konovsky gets dominated again in the second fall, but Poffo accidentally strikes Schmidt in the head, which allows Konovsky to make the comeback to win the second fall. The angry Schmidt makes Poffo wrestle the third fall and wouldn't tag back in. O'Connor wins with his O'Connor roll.

 

I thought Schmidt looked good in this one, especially with his height making his downward blows look forceful.
