Nick Bockwinkel vs Randy Savage - Memphis 4/15/85

Im surprised this doesn’t have more hype in these parts as it is two of Top 25 wrestlers squaring off in a full match. It does NOT quite get to OMG Savage vs Bock levels but it was still very good. Macho Man burnishes Bock at the bell but in classic Savage fashion he eats a punch to the breadbasket diving off the top to the floor. It has been a minute since I watched me some Bock. Everything thing is snug and tight. Every blow is heavy. Ahhhh the glorious Bock King of the Mountain. Great bumping, feeding and selling by Savage. Macho Man goes to eyes. All his punches especially the wind up punch, trademark Savage Double Axehandle to the floor. Back suplex by Bock. Savage back to the eyes. Some floor brawling. Savage goes for the piledriver but back dropped on the concrete. Bock body slams him in, Savage foot on the ropes. Tux Newman puts his foot on the ropes a second time. Bock and ref distracted. Ballshot/Piledriver combo what a finish! Not a classic but still fun to watch these two tangle. *** 1/2
