[1983-12-02-Houston Wrestling] Butch Reed & Jim Neidhart vs Magnum T.A. & Mr Wrestling II

[shoe]

Makes you wonder how much footage the WWE has and maybe why they didn't need to make a deal with Tharpe.This match has also out gemed the hidden gems recently.  Early shine by TA that the heels use rough house tactics to take control. Love Reeds bumb off the elbow. 2 is in and the crowd loves him.2 is looking great and keeping the heels off balance. We get Peter Birkholtz on commentary 7 minutes in. This must have been shown on Houston TV 7 minutes in. The faces are working Reed's arm here. Big blow by Reed and the tide has turned. Heels using their size. The heat is pretty ho hum. Do like Neidhardt sneaky cheating on the out side. Hot tag to TA. They cut him off and are swarming TA. Their is a story here, but a lot of sitting holds. A big miss by Reed and 2 gets the tag and is a house of fire. TA's bump looked awkward. Heels use a foreign object and get the win. Pretty dissapointing considering the talent. 2 1/4*
