[Superstar Sleeze]

NWA TV Champion Arn Anderson vs Dusty Rhodes - JCP Atlanta 1/19/86 Steel Cage

Fallout from the famous Horsemen break Dusty’s leg in the cage. In the weeks prior, Dusty broke Ole’s leg in revenge and saved Baby Doll who got hit by Tully. Now he wants to break Arn’s leg in a steel cage. Big match for Arn probably his biggest singles match to date.

Dusty is a lot like Giant Baba the very charismatic boss whose shit doesn’t always look great but they make up for it by being so over and so cool charismatic. Dusty targets Arn’s leg and Arn makes this so much fun. Great heel Selling by Arn. Loved Arn charging into the cage and his knee slams into it. Great stooging. Arn targets Dusty’s bad leg and Russians hit the ring and they try to re-break it. Magnum & The Raging Bull save. Besides too much clipping, this was a ton of fun and stays too true to the story.
