[1985-09-21-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Gary Royal vs Denny Brown

[squidlad]

A match for the World Jr. Heavyweight Championship, which took place during Crockett's 'Championship Challenge Series' on TBS in 1985. Royal and Brown are two job guys wrestling for a title that was never properly featured on television. I have no idea what possessed them to give Royal and Brown 17 minutes to wrestle but they did and it's really good. Flair does colour commentary and he puts them both over really well. These two guys had no push whatsoever and their mechanics are awesome, which really speaks to the depth of talent at the time. Pretty much all the in-between moments are better than what you would see in the equivalent match today. *** 1/2
