[1981-09-29-Joint Promotions] Chris Adams vs Marc Rocco

[tcg91]

This was a pretty great match and their styles matched perfectly. Very solid matwork approach since the start, of course Rocco was the one to take over and his armwork on Adams was commendable. This also led to a leg injury for Adams but, as much as the psychology was quite cool, he stopped selling the arm on his comeback and that was a shame. As usual, Rocco bumped big time to make his opponent look like a million bucks, taking a nasty looking turnbuckle hit as well. Not a big fan of the knockout finish, but at least it made sense, as Adams damaged his neck too and was too banged to get up on time. A great match that could have been a classic
