Brett Sawyer

El Dragon said: "I have a longer rant to go on him at some point, but a total diamond in the rough of the Portland footage, who shines on a near constant basis in his available performances. Outstanding Babyface in singes with his matches with Flair and Rose (none of which feels like carry jobs in the slightest), and up with Piper as Buddy's best opponent in tag matches in Portland. Honestly, I'm stunned he has so little rep for someone who was clearly very good in basically all the footage we have of him between Portland and Georgia."

Recs: 

Hack Sawyer vs. Buddy Rose (1/16/82)

Hack Sawyer, Rocky Johnson, and Steve Regal vs. Buddy Rose, Rip Oliver, and Matt Borne (2/20/82)

Hack Sawyer vs. Ric Flair (4/10/82)

Hack Sawyer & Steve Pardee vs. Rip Oliver & The Assassin (9/11/82)

Hack Sawyer vs. Ric Flair (10/2/82)

I’ve only recently gotten into Brett’s work. Aside from the mostly known Portland matches against Buddy and Flair, I’d highly recommend his matches against Jake Roberts in Georgia. Their match at Last Battle of Atlanta is probably MOTN, and the follow up a week later on TBS is really strong as well. 
 

I don’t know if Brett makes my top 100, but I just wanted to put in a good word for the overlooked Sawyer brother, incase anyone was considering/curious about his work.
