[1985-05-03-Houston Wrestling] Jake Roberts vs Steve Casey

[shoe]

This is a master class in Jake Roberts psychology 101 in making the crowd care about your opponent. Jake was great here. He gave his opponent enough hope spots that the crowd got behind him. Jake engaging the crowd was top notch. Jake was good here at getting the crowd going. I loved the finish of Jake pissing Casey off enough to outsmart him for the win. 3 1/4*

You could see the shapings of the finish in the first few minutes of the match. Jake was trying to goad Casey into following him back in early on. It finally paid off in the end during the comeback.

Pete, what did you think about Ross and Boesch? I thought they made a pretty good team.

I enjoyed them. Had a Ross/Caudle feel except Paul is a more dominant personality. I liked that Paul used the word meme. I think they were sharing a microphone too.
