[1983-02-25-Houston Wrestling] Ted DiBiase & Matt Borne vs Mr Wrestling II & Junkyard Dog

[shoe]

I thought this was tremendous. Ted is bumping big for the Dog. Borne takes this awesome looking bump through the ropes. I'm sure he learned this from Rose since it was a signature bump of Buddy's. The shine here is so good. Both JYD and Mr. Wrestling 2 have tons of charisma. On top of it the heels are doing some grade A stooging. Finally they cut off 2 and get some good heat on him. The crowd is totally behind 2. Dibiase and Borne come across as a top level team. They build to a chaotic finish. 3 3/4*

Great crowd, every little thing caused a huge reaction, this made the match so enjoyable. DiBiase and JYD touched at times, with the heel getting the worst every time, but in general this worked as a great skirmish for their feud. I was never a great fan of II, he looked quite silly in his strutting at times, but the crowd loved him so who am I to judge. Good heat segment on II, Borne and DiBiase are an underrated tag team in terms of heel tactics and leading a bout. As expected, great hot tag for JYD and the finish was very fun, despite the disqualification finish
***1/4
