Black History Month DAY 3

Rock and Roll Express v. Doom 7/7/90

At this point in WCW the Rock and Roll Express were kind of an anachronism. Your tag division was built much more around spot teams like the Steiners and SST. Your old school teams like the R+R's and MX were on there way out. Still this was a heck of a swan song for that era. Doom were a pair of big motherfuckers who hit hard. Ron Simmons was still green, and Butch Reed was past his prime, but damn were these guys a force. Powerslams, fist drops, elbows, everything Doom did looked like it hurt bad. Still this match was really made by their bumping and selling. Both guys did a great job of making you buy that a pair of tiny, flabby guys with mullets could hurt a pair of yoked athletic black dudes. I really don't remember Ron Simmons being this good at selling. Of course Ricky Morton takes a beating, and he is the master of that, and Robert Gibson takes a hot tag and no one did that as well. Just an excellent tag wrestling match, and example of what WCW would just randomly throw out there, there is so much awesome stuff from this period which is totally forgotten.
