[1983-01-01-CWA-TV] Bobby Eaton & Koko Ware vs Jacques Rougeau & Terry Taylor

[Loss]

Two expiration of time matches on the same show? I take it one of the dates is off, but I’ll still go with 1/1 for both until or unless I’m corrected. Eaton and Ware are a heel workrate machine as a tag team, although I think part of it is the overall sense of urgency. This is rushed since it seemed like they wanted to get in the body of the match before the show went off the air, but it’s very good all the same, and the benefit is that they do get in opening shine, heat on Taylor and a hot tag to Rougeau, so the match doesn’t feel like it’s missing anything. I’d love to see these teams in a longer arena match.

 

***1/4

Man Koko and Bobby are so good in this. Very fast paced match that never slows down. For a team that hates each other in real life, Jacque and Terry Taylor work good but this is the Bobby and Koko show. Not overly long but a good tv match. I liked how "Jimmy Hart" was at ringside but did nothing at all.
