Ladd is the champion here. This is such a smartly worked match. Ladd is such a smart wrestler here. He might be physically shot, but it's cool to see hom much mileage he could get out of using his mind. ROH Moose should be watching as much Ernie Ladd as humanely possible.You look at Magnum TA, and he really is the prototype babyface of the WWE attitude era from Steve Austin, Rock, HHH, and even Biker taker had a lot of the same qualities as Magnum TA.

 

We start out with Ladd bumping, and flaying around getting over Magnum TA as a serious ass kicker. Ladd would also allow TA to show off by lifting him in a front facelock. So Ladd really did a nice job shining TA up. When Ladd got the heat he was so incredible, and so smart. Ladd would just destroy Ta's leg. Magnum was tremendous in his role selling his ass off. When it was time for Magnum's comeback it was executed so wegot the crowd hook line and sill. Ladd as a master story teller had Magnum do revenge spots on the leg. This was so good, and made sense on so many levels. When they had the crowd where they wanted they went into the finish with some help from Budro. 3 3/4*
