peachchaos Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 "I doubt that you've even seen anything like this. This is just absolutely mankind at it's worst. Mankind at it's most vicious. Mankind at it's most dangerous." - Bill Mercer We're roughly 9 minutes into a Wild Bill Irwin vs. Mike Von Erich match that wasn't half bad to be honest. Mike had just hit a huge knee to Irwin's face as he was coming off the ropes for a two count when David Manning entered the ring to talk to the referee. Really nice moment of mystique here as announcer Bill Mercer wonders what's going on as the officials separate the wrestlers and start the match. Manning gets on the mic and tells the crowd they have to pause this match until the next match is over because Terry Gordy and Killer Khan had a fight in the back and if they don't wrestle now the match will never happen! Crowd goes apeshit. Irwin protests but Manning threatens to disqualify him and throw the match out completely. That popped the crowd even more and now the whole place is in a constant frenzy. The Freebirds come out and Gordy is already wearing a crimson mask and jacked up. Maybe the most intense energy I've seen from him and Hayes slapping him around to get him even more psyched out is a nice touch. Jesus, the girls in the crowd even lose their shit for Killer fucking Khan's entrance. This is heat. Immediately they claw at each other with punches, chops, slaps, eye gouges. Khan's bleeding from behind the ear as he bites the cut on Gordy's forehead. Not to be outdone, Gordy smells blood and goes right for that ear with closed strikes before closing in and locking up so he can get close enough to do some biting of his own. Viscous struggle for control in the corner. Fight-for-your-life stuff. No technique to any of this stuff, they're just throwing bombs and hoping they connect. Nasty kicks and punches. Gordy focuses back on the ear with his strikes. He gets a bigfoot off the ropes but neither guy can gain control. This is outta control. More biting and hair-pulling. Akbar and Hayes come in and the others jump the ring for a riot brawl. Huge pop when Hayes finally gets his hands on Akbar. By now the entire roster is out for the fight. This is some Bash '89 goodness in terms of postmatch brawling. Hayes comes in with a non folding wooden chair and after all that Bronco Lubich has disqualified and thrown the whole thing out. *** Great angle to set up the Texas Death Match a few months later and get the entire roster involved. Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer must have loved this segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
