[1984-04-07-GCW-Baltimore, MD] Jake Roberts vs Ron Garvin

[shoe]

This is a feud that has generated some good matches.   This may be one of Jake's last matches before heading to WCCW. Love the reaction when Jake face plants on a tie up. Totally dig Ronnie using the leg scissors as a weapon. I love how Garvin takes the mount from Jake. These guys are making everything a struggle. Jake is good at selling the ribs. Jake looks to be focusing on the arm. Jake with some nasty punches and elbow's to the back. Jake's size is causing problems for Garvin. Jake ,back to the arm some more. Controlling the arm, more so than working it. I loved the tape spot with Jake. He's positioned it so the ref can't see. A great idea to get heat and to get the crowd to rally behind Garvin. They brawl a bit on the outside. Garvin nails Jake with a chair right in front of the ref. Garvin works the cut, and does the Garvin stomp. No clue why he wasn't Dq'd. Garvin hits him with his finish and the crowd erupts for the new champ. This had some interesting things in it, but had it share of flaws. 2 1/4*
