[1981-03-08-Maple Leaf Wrestling] Ricky Steamboat vs Ray Stevens

[shoe]

This is for Steamer's Mid Atlantic title. Parv had a problem with how the finish played out. Well they couldn't do his scenario because Steamer is the champ.

 

This is structurally weird we see the heat segment 1st. The heat works because it isn't fancy, but is full of shortcuts and cheating. Still a bit underwhelming. Sure we didn't see much from Stevens here. Still at his point he's like Flair from RAW in 2004. Still he had the psychology and timing. Steamer was great in his selling. His arm work was magnificant. I wish though we would have had the Koloff match. 3 1/4*
