[1984-11-23-Houston Wrestling] Butch Reed & Jim Duggan vs Steve Williams & Ted DiBiase

What a fun match. The opening double football tackle spot is the coolest thing I've seen. What impact. The faces were awesome in the shine as walking tall babyfaces. Reed mocking Dibiase's small muscles was fantastic and I wish we all could see Parv's face when he sees it. Loved Doc using the helmet to set up the heat. Loved them working the cut. The finish was all caotic and sets up the next match. Duggan is a very sympathetic babyface. Great tag. 3 3/4*

Really fun big hoss brawl. Crowd is going nuts and the announcer needs to ask the crowd to move back. Pretty much punches and football tackles but these are great guys to watch throw punches and football tackles. Duggan has such great energy in these kind of matches, and DiBiase does a good job flopping

Yea the opening parts of this match were really good. Dr. Death & Butch Reed trying to tackle each other leading to Reed outsmarting him the second time was really great and the stuff with Reed mocking DiBiase's less than gun-like arms had made laughing out loud.

This was a blast. The crowd loved the big hoss fight between Reed and Doc, just like they cheered when Duggan was trying to finally catch DiBiase. This was 15 minutes of the most simple, yet effective, wrestling style with a good dose of heat. Duggan was a very good babyface in perils here, thanks to the forehead cut and the blood; it was impressive how Williams, despite still being kind of green, held his ground very well. Okay finish, even though the helmet stuff was quite silly and the scaffolds were in the way of the viewers, but oh well
