NWA Classics On Demand -Price Tag Reviews #7

Dusty Rhodes/Junkyard Dog v. Ted DiBiase/Kamala 4/12/83 -$1.00

This was a bullrope and dog collar tag match. Dusty and DiBiase were tied together with the bullrope while JYD and Kamala had a dog collar on. Pretty much a classic example of a babyface walking tall blowoff match. This is your pair of super charismatic super heroes getting their hands on the dastardly villains and making them pay. DiBiase flies around for both guys and bleeds a ton, Kamala does some great weeble wabble selling of big shots. There is a little glory for the heels, and Dusty bleeds because of course he does, but this is mostly just comeuppance.

Harley Race v. Gino Hernandez 12/12/80 - $3.00

Another true hidden gem. 2/3 Falls NWA title match, with Gino as the local heel challenging a heel champion. It was a pretty great performance by Gino as he turns the crowd over to his side by the end, kind of a devil we know better then a devil we don't situation. I am not the world's biggest Harley fan, but he looked pretty boss here, all of his offense was super nasty looking, his big headbutts looked like they smooshed skulls and he had this awesome looking big right hand in the corner. Gino was a total boss, jumping Harley at the bell, piledriving him on the floor, spraying blood as he goes for his giant back elbow. He was so good as the local heel, it really makes me want to see more Southwest Tully to compare them in those rolls. More Gino please!!
