- Scott Keith Best of the WWF #8. - Opening match: Hart Foundation v. Killer Bees. Well, this is pretty much an automatic point. They work very, very well together and did so approximately 10,000 times between 1985 and 1988. Brunzell plays Ricky Morton. At this point, Neidhart's suckiness is covered by quick tags to Bret. Hitman works mighty stiff here, drawing lots of "oohs" and "aahs" for every shot that looks like it *really* hurt. Blair gets the hot tag and is a house o fire. The crowd is seriously getting into this as the Bees keep pressing. Blair goes for the pin...and the time limit expires. Crap, it was getting really good. 1 for 1. - Let the parade of crap begin! - "Newcomer" spotlight: Dan Spivey v. Terry Gibbs. Gibbs dominates Spivey, who is a dead ringer for Barry Windham. But without the talent. Spivey makes the superman comeback and hits a bulldog. 1 for 2. - "Newcomer" spotlight: Billy Jack Haynes v. Moondog Rex. Rex is Randy Culley, aka the original Smash, aka Deadeye Dick of the Desperadoes. A very, very loud "Boring!" chant is barely edited out by the production crew. Repeat formula: Rex dominates Haynes, who makes the superman comeback and wins with the full-nelson. 1 for 3. - Junkyard Dog v. King Kong Bundy. Yeah, like I'm even gonna stop fast-forwarding to watch the ending. JYD wins, who cares how. 1 for 4. - "Newcomer" spotlight: Jimmy Jack Funk v. Tony Garea. This tape is going downhill faster than Dusty Rhodes on a trip to Wong Foo's All U-Can-Eat $4.99 Buffet. Funk wins with something lame. 1 for 5. - "Newcomer" spotlight: Harley Race v. Lanny Poffo. It's absolutely laughable to hear them shill Race as a "newcomer" and Poffo as a "young kid". Race had zero heat because he...moves....very....slowly. No King title at this juncture, either. Poffo tries a comeback, but Race can't sell the high-flying stuff properly and ends up with a cradle suplex for the pin. 1 for 6. - John Studd's bodyslam challenge match, v. Jim Powers/Rick Hunter. If either of the jobbers can slam Studd, they get $15,000. Studd manhandles them and gets the pin, but Haku storms the ring and of course slams Studd. 1 for 7. This is all setting up... - John Studd v. Haku (King Tonga). Call him what you want, he still sucks here. Kick and punch, then they fight outside the ring for the DCOR. 1 for 8. More...
