[1990-03-29-Reslo] Skull Murphy vs Pat Roach

[GOTNW]

Welsh will never stop sounding weird. Fun match, lots of nasty shots. I liked the Fireman's Carry attempts a lot and Roach hit a magnificent Big Boot during his comeback. Murphy continues to legitimize himself to me as a great bumper. ***

Much better than the other Murphy/Roach match that is also on Youtube. This is the type of British wrestling that I love - snug holds and stiffer punches. It's what got me to love William Regal as much as I do. While their other match felt like two men just bumping around like some comical 80s MSG house show, here each hold was struggled for and felt like a legitimate contest. A fairly even fight until something pisses Roach off and he hulks up into this destructive monster of a man. Everything is all she wrote from there as Murphy pinballs around for the big man's offence and does a great sell job of Roach's big boot.

 

Super fun match!
