Black History Month DAY 14

Eddie Gilbert & The Nightmare vs. The Bruise Brothers (12/31/85)

Porkchops Cash maybe my favorite of the 80's black minstrel wrestlers. He is named after a black food sterotype, has lots of different great looking jiving spots, and a really cool beard. Mad Dog Boyd is normally terrible, but actually kind of fine in this match. Super Memphis match for Mid-South. Beginning of the match has Nightmare and Gilbert befuddled by Porkchops dancing ( to be fair to Porkchops, the dancing wasn't just a black thing, he was a 70's babyface, all 70's babyfaces got down and boogied). Lots of comic befuddlement. Then they are able to take over on Mad Dog, which is a fine heel beatdown, with Nightmare throwing some nasty punches. Then you get the hot tag with Porkchops going crazy like he saw a ghost. Really awesome finish, with Eddie shoving a KO'ed Nightmare on top of Porkchops, but Porkchops, almost hits a rana from his back for the pin. Seriously awesome tag match which puts a smile on the face of any true wrestling fan.
