shoe Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 This says 29 minutes so these guys are going to get some time. The Grapplers are also the DWB's. A fun shine by the faces with quick tags. Faces are great at keeping the heels off balance. I'm marking out how the faces are using the headlock in a super effective way. Morton with an awesome atomic drop. Double drop kicks, hell yeah. Love Boesch teasing the loaded boot on commentary. Loving the Grappler's shining up the faces. Grapplers cut off Tiger, but is able to tag in Morton who misses a dropkick and the Grapplers start to work him over. Specifically the shoulder. The Grapplers heat segment is really focused. Tiger is good on the outside. Loved the heel switcheroo draws some heat. Morton'n fight is great, but his FIP work is the tops. Loved the set up to the hot tag, and then the hot tag. A real fun finish to the 1st. This was an awesome 1st fall. The 2nd fall starts. They pick up perfectly and go after the neck after winning the 1st fall with a Hart Attack. The Grappler's psychology is so good here. Working a headlock to further hurt the neck. Also to take the crowd down a bit. Morton with a great cross body for a great nearfall. The faces get the equalizer. The 3rd fall The faces get back to basics with quick tags. I loved how Tiger's headbutts were great than the Grapplers. Faces lighting them up with . I loved the finish since it was teased earlier . Final Thoughts. I thought the 1st fall was absolutely great tag wrestling. The layout, the psychology, the selling. It was right on point. The match felt a little long, but these guys did a great job filling the time. I liked how in a throw away line Boesch gave us the finish. 4 1/4* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcg91 Posted September 26, 2024 Report Share Posted September 26, 2024 Good match, albeit a bit too long, it dragged at times. I can tell the Grapplers apart from the skin tone of their backs, which is funny. Really good babyface performance here, Paul Boesch couldn't stop putting over young Morton, who was already one of the best sellers of the country in 1982. The Grapplers isolating him was by far the best part of the bout, it was a simple but effective scheme. However, as often happens the first fall took too long and the others couldn't keep up with it, so the match took a step back. Conway was still hit and miss for me, he was way over but a clear downgrade from Morton when he got the tag ***1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
