"Beetlejuice" Art Barr vs. Ed Moretti (10/7/89)

Disc 10

[garretta]

This was a bit more like it. Art really seemed to be into his gimmick, and I loved that powder flew everywhere every time Moretti hit him. Some of those dives would have been daring for Mexico or Japan at this time, let alone a conservative promotion like Portland.

 

Moretti didn't just roll over; he seems like a good hand, and he moved well for his weight. I know he was a regular, and after watching this it's easy to see why.

 

Levy (Raven) was very good on color with Coss, although his natural (I assume) Jersey accent was a but thick. I liked how he eased right into reading the announcements that the play-by-play guy would normally read and did so effortlessly. It shows that he knows what he's doing behind the mic.

 

I'm caught up now in full-length matches. My reviews will be more in-depth as I follow along with the set in real time.
