Skyscrapers vs Road Warriors - NWA Halloween Havoc 1989

This is more like it, daddy! Four big muthas hitting hard and tossing each other around. Story is simple who is the baddest on the block, Brutha. 

Roadies shine is simple and to the point. You think you’re big, well we are fucking bad. Clothesline and shouldertackles send Spivey & Sid powdering. I thought Sid again is more interesting eating the Roadies offense than Spivey. We get the customary Test of Strength. Sid takes Hawk down with a side headlock, headscisscors reversal into a BIG SID KIP UP! A stock Sid spot but when you think about it in context way ahead of his time. Sid blasts Hawk and picks him up and spins him around sends him fucking flying. It was a surprisingly easy transition into the heat segment. Sid snake eyes in Hawk on the railing is another good high spot. The hope spots get closer together. Hawk tag out. Animal goes King Kong and rattles off a great hot tag. Drop kick and shoulder tackle electrified me. Katie bar the door, there’s a pier six brawl a brewin’. Animal power slams Sid BUT Teddy Long nails him with the Key which I think has something to do with Norman. Hawk hits a top rope flying clothesline to get the key and send the Scrapers packing.

One of those really old school power matches that doesn’t overstay its welcome. ***
