NWA US Champion Dusty Rhodes vs Bobby Eaton - NWA Worldwide 2/27/88 Cage Match

 

Solid cage match nothing that will change your life, but a fun 12 minutes. There is quite the gap between the ropes and the cage and so Eaton really has to hurl his body over the ropes into the cage. Eaton tries to escape this allows Corny to give him the racquet. He can jab Dusty with it. He has an object in his tights which he can rake Dusty's face. He gets some blood to flow and gets some good punches. Dusty never really feels in peril is my big knock on this. Dusty starts tagging Bobby with some lefts and Bionic Elbow. Liked the finish. Dusty slams Bobby from the top of the cage and from the top rope hits the Bionic Elbow. Not enough heat on Bobby's heat segment to make this feel like Dusty was in danger.

I'd agree this stopped at being "fun".  It's cool to see Bobby work and he does as much as he can with it.   Twelve minutes is simply not enough time for Dusty to get a shine and a comeback AND give Bobby enough time to convince the audience that Dusty is actually in trouble.
