I was really excited to see this when it popped up. Both guys are legends in Texas. Dale Valentine would become Buddy Roberts.

 

The 1st fall was really methodical. It felt like 6 or 7 minutes of the 9 minutes were working a standing surfboard. The 1st fall didn't do a lot for me. Valentine's strength is bumping and stooging so we really didn't get that here.

 

The 2nd fall was short and sweet. All of Spoiler's punches and his stomps look great.

 

3rd fall was better, but still not good enough to save the bout.

 

Final thoughts.

 

I didn't think they told a tight enough story. I felt they had Spoiler sell way too much. Dale didn't do enough things on top to make things interesting.Bottom line the match didn't play to the wrestlers strengths.

 

2*
