[1985-12-29-Houston Wrestling] Butch Reed vs Dick Slater

[shoe]

If Butch Reed wins he gets Dark Journey for 30 days. I thought the bout would be worked in a more violent fashion. Instead the match was worked with good psycholgy, but lacked something for a blood feud. Reed had a neck injury so both guys worked the match around the neck. Reed worked revenge spots on Slater's neck, and Slater targeted Reed's neck. Slater dung his knee and Reed worked the leg and went for the Figure 4. The finish was pretty bad, and beating Reed cheap twice was terrible.The match lacked a spark, and with that finish hurt the match. 2 3/4*
