[1984-07-04-WCCW-Fort Worth, TX] Kerry & Kevin & Mike Von Erich vs Fabulous Freebirds (Badstreet Rules)

[Superstar Sleeze]

World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Von Erichs (Kerry, Kevin, Mike) vs Fabulous Freebirds - WCCW 7/4/84 Badstreet Match

Absolute raucous mayhem! I love a chaotic brawl. Tornado style tag with boots and belts being thrown around willy nilly. This is Kevin's element as he is a real firecracker. I thought Hayes was also real good. They were really slugging each other with those boots. I thought the triple dropkick on Gordy was a real highlight. Gordy needing to hit a low blow on Mike was hilarious. Lance Von Erich was not a horrible idea in principle. Maybe not selecting a standout local high school star. I guess Steve Simpson didnt work either. Maybe just sticking Chris Adams in as a friend of the Von Erichs. My favorite spot was Kerry accidentally flung his boot into the crowd and they threw it back to him to keep wailing on Gordy. The finish is Killer Khan interferes hitting the Asiatic Spike on Kerry to give the Freebirds the win. Very entertaining match. ***1/2

A colder feud, Mike replaces David, 8 minutes only on the clock and a dirty finish: due to all of these elements, the bout is not the classic that von Erich and Freebirds had the year before, but it was still a good one. Very chaotic brawl, with no downtime and a receptive crowd. I liked how they used the boots has a weapon, as this helped the street fight vibes, but the reduced bell time really makes this a bit incomplete to my eyes
