One of my favorite match reviews on Titans of Wrestling 

Whole card. Also includes a great Backlund vs Larry Z match

Dominic DeNucci vs Larry Sharpe (10/20/80)
Another bad DeNucci match, featuring yet another irritating stalling sequence, as Sharpe undressed very slowly to get some heat from the crowd. They did some decent arm-based limb work for a minute, but then Sharpe took over and simply started punching DeNucci in the back of the head for several minutes, leading to a few "boring" chants from the stands. DeNucci wasn't good at selling and his comeback had terrible timing, as he would get all fired up and create a lot of commotion just to hit his opponent once and then stare at him. Sharpe then punched DeNucci low right in front of the referee for some reason, but still lost to a small package 5 seconds later, so it's safe to say DeNucci had no balls. 1/2*

There are good DeNucci matches, believe it or not. One is from your time frame, 11/3/79 vs Hussein Arab, a crazy brawl from Allentown, but it is tough to find, only a clip of it is on YT. Outside of your purview is DeNucci & Victor Rivera vs the Blackjacks from 1975, also a crazy wild brawl, but also not on YT. But trust me, they're great!

That is terrifying. I can't believe they kept him around until 1982.

Pedro Morales vs The Hangman (11/8/80)
So sloooooooooooooooow. They stalled a lot at the beginning, then Hangman trapped Morales in a few holds and Morales always managed to get out of them, which was at least consistent, albeit not very smoothly executed. Hangman finally got the upper hand with a long armbar that completely silenced the crowd. He sent Morales shoulder first into the turnbuckle and the announcer screamed "RIGHT INTO THE RING!". The arm work wasn't terrible, but it was incredibly boring and lacklustre. Hangman kicked Morales in the face about 10 times in a row, but Morales didn't sell it at all and immediately started a comeback, winning with a small package about 20 seconds later. I hate these abrupt endings. 1/2*
