Superstar Sleeze Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 AWA World Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lawler vs WCWA World Heavyweight Champion Kerry Von Erich - WCCW 9/23/88 Superb match! As good if not better than the more famous SuperClash match. Kerry is such a great babyface. The early portion of the match is so interesting. It is like when the home team has a sluggish start. Lawler is getting clotheslines and dropkicks, but Kerry can't buy a move. Kerry does such a great job conveying this slight frustration. It is nothing he can't come back from but he is annoyed he can't execute. Lawler is stellar. So cocky! You really want to see Kerry haul off and smack em. Lawler is also cautious he knows Kerry can ignite any time is not pressing his advantage. It is in the corner when Kerry finally unleashes a bomb that connects. Boy, does Lawler sell it! I loved Lawler demanding a boxing match in the middle of the match only to lose and crawl behind the ref. Awesome. Now we are cooking. Missed fist drop and Kerry is punching away in the corner. Discus punch! These two were made for each other. Lawler piledriver but a Kerry no sell! Lawler looks toast. The finish stretch is great. It is total stand up, knock down, drag out slobber knocker each man just trading hands. The ref tries to restore order so they both slug the ref! Much better finish than SuperClash. The wrestlers break it up. Cool layout, great energy, great performances, consummate face vs consummate heel in a slugfest with a fuck finish that let's both men retain and makes you want to see the rematch. ****1/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
