AWA World Tag Team Champions Nick Bockwinkel & Ray Stevens vs Dr. X & Andre The Giant - AWA 10/7/72

It is just to pleasant to watch Nick Bockwinkel. At less than 5 minutes, there’s not much to analyze. It seems like Andre is a surprise guest. They do a fun spot where Bock rapidly u-turns from Andre into an X headlock. They run an X FIP. Andre’s hot tag is phenomenal. It is amazing how agile and fluid he is. Andre wins. A cool curiousity.

I don't know what I just watched. It's clipped to hell and back. The falls aren't even in the footage. But alas, this is really fun. If you're not an Andre guy, gal, or pal, I suggest checking this one out. Andre is running all over the ring kicking ass. Stevens and Bock are taking huge bumps for him. Dr. X is amazing here too and there's a nice sequence of shoulder tackles he does that popped me, but this is the Andre show. Not enough for me to rate but it's worth watching. Go check it out. It is maybe 6 minutes.
