[1984-04-CWA] Tommy Rich & Eddie Gilbert vs PYT Express (Norvell Austin & Koko Ware)

[Superstar Sleeze]

Southern Tag Team Champions Tommy Rich vs PYT Express - Memphis 4/12/84

 

I could watch GIlbert & Koko punch each other day all day long, sadly that's only a small part of this match. Rich & Gilbert are working a New Fabs gimmick with Footloose as their entrance music. PYTs are Koko Ware and Norvell Austin. The match totally peaks in the shine. Ware & Gilbert slugfest is awesome and climaxes with Ware punching Austin in the face. Then Rich gets Austin in a full nelson only to turn around at the last second to have Ware blast Austin again. PYTs argue with Austin telling Ware he is supposed to hit the blond white dude not his fellow black man. They hug it out. The heat segment grinds the match to a halt lots of nerve pinch. The finish run is fun. Gilbert was a good house of fire temporarily stopped by a Koko headbutt, but a crossbody means the champs retain. Shine was fun that's it.
