[1985-11-25-WWF-MSG] Andre The Giant, Hillbilly Jim & Capt Lou Albany vs Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy & Bobby The Brain Heenan
 

@Ricky Jackson was besides himself when I told him like 10 years ago I had never seen a Hillbilly Jim match and I know I’d seen one maybe two when I did an SNME rewatch but I think is my first review of a match he is in. Couldn’t find the October MSG tag where it is Andre & Jim versus Bundy & Studd. So skipping to the November MSG match with the managers. 
 

Unfortunately my daughter woke up for feeding & diaper change between the match ending and this review and I have already forgotten most of the match. There was a lot of jostling early you may describe it as Colossal. Andre did most of the heavy lifting. Jim tried to slam Studd but Heenan saved. Besides a Jim punch I don’t think I saw him do anything. Andre didnt really feel cooperative in this match. Studd and Bundy clearly wanted to move to taking over in the corner but Andre wanted to work a double noggin knocker. But anyways this is all immaterial the whole point of this match was to see Heenan take his licks. Andre rocks him and Albano makes him take a Ray Steven’s Flip. Ref forces The Brain to make contact with The Giant even though he tagged which was lame. Fun battering ram spot on the heels. They whip Studd and Bundy into each other. Big boot by Andre to the Brain wish he did the SITDOWN splash. 
 

I like all these guys well jury is still out on Jim but no need to watch this one.
