This was interesting. It had a lot of stuff I liked in it. I understand where Matt D thought the Full Nelson would be more dramatic in the 3rd fall. It makes sense though to use a bear hug to counter a headlock.

 

Strengths

 

1. Jimmy Snuka's athleticism. His high spots really stood out. He seemed to ape a lot of Steamboat spots. My favorite spot was when Patera tossed Snuka off, and Hulked up only to eat a Snuka drop kick.

 

2. The little nuances that Patera brought to the table.

 

3. Patera's heel work.

 

4. Cool to see JJ with Patera

 

5. Both guys charisma screamed superstar.

 

6. Patera was the glue to the match.

 

Weaknesses

 

1. Booked too long. If 6 minutes or so are cut out , the match would have been tighter.

 

2.Too much going no where.

 

rating

 

3 1/2*
