Resident Evil Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Johnny Smith/Phil Lafleur (the 2nd Dan Kroffat, name inspired by I believe Guy Lafleur the famous Montreal Canadians hockey player) vs Steve Disalvo/Hashimoto Stampede -- Sometime in 1987 Unfortunatley, I've only seen the short version of this but what I did see was very good. Smith and Lafleur are the faces while Disalvo and Hashimoto are the heels. We join the match with Smith playing face in peril. Smith is really good here and manages to hit some nice trademark Stampede stuff including a nice running dropkick off of the ropes. Not the way Perfect did it but kind of like the way Toyota would hit her dropkicks. He mangaes to make a tag but of course the reff doesn't see it. This is the 2nd time the reff misses it though so Kroffat is ticked off and hits a nice series of headbutts before the reff puts him back out. The heels manage to take advantage of the reff's blindness and Disalvo catches Smith in the Canadain backbreaker. Hashimoto than comes off of the ropes with a flying elbow that causes Smith to be powerbombed down to the mat for the 1/2/3. They didn't show much and we unfortunately didn't get to see Kroffat really wrestle but still what was shown was very good with an excellent double team finishing move. A little different than your usual match as well as we never do get to see that hot tag. So in the meantime and inbetween time this has been another edition of WP's Stampede wrestling thoughts. 'Bye now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Unfortunatley, I've only seen the short version of this but what I did see was very good. Isn't that the case with the majority of Stampede matches? from what I have gathered, there aren't too many complete Stampede matches available anywhere.

That's true but TSN was showing Stampede in 1987 and they would've showed more footage than this as I believ their show was 1 1/2 hours long while the show for other stations were shorter.
