[1983-02-25-Houston Wrestling] Jim Duggan vs Iron Mike Sharpe

[shoe]

This isn't walking tall Duggan.This is Rat Pack Duggan and he's a heel. I liked this match, but would have been better served if it was only booked to go 10 minutes instead of 14 and change. I really liked the 1st 6 minutes or so. I loved Duggan trying to tease an opening handshake that Mike turns the table on. Duggan bumps big and hard early to establish Sharpe. I love the Sharpe looking for approval from the crowd to stomp Duggan. I love when wrestling can be interactive in a good way. They do some more brawling. Then they shift gears and goes to a test of strength. This transitions into Duggan working the arm. I thought this was well done, but not what I need from a Duggan match. The arm work was done well. He also would punch and stomp the shoulder. Duggan also did some fun hair pulling for leverage. Sharpe's comeback is full of spirit. Duggan though ends him with the Spear. 2 1/2*
