[1983-09-24-Portland] Dynamite Kid vs Buddy Rose

[tcg91]

Very good bout, but the Portland crowd wasn't as loud as they used to be for the big matches, so this didn't feel like a big deal despite being a very important match. Dynamite was at his best at the beginning and Rose made him look great with impressive selling. They attempted to add some drama with the blood, but they kind of gave up at one point, which was a shame. I liked Rose's comeback, even though the last fall was too short for me, and the fact that Dynamite won "luckily, but smartly" like Flair would do, as at least the match got a true finish
