-          - The Rock N Roll Express v. Randy Savage & Lanny Poffo.  From the Memphis coliseum, 84ish.  This is a reasonably famous match, more for one spot than any merits as a tag match.  Savage & Poffo do some stalling.  Lanny gets double-teamed into oblivion and they work on the leg.  Savage comes in and Robert misses a blind charge, but tags Morton, who cleans house.  Morton & Savage brawl on the floor, where Angelo Poffo nails him to make him YOUR Face in Peril.  Back in, Savage boxes his ears, but misses an elbow off the middle.  Savage casually tosses him and drops the axehandle to the floor, which was state of the art stuff at the time.  Lanny misses a senton off the top, leading to the hot tag.  Angelo pulls the top rope down and Robert splats on the floor.  They brawl at ringside, setting up the famous spot:  Savage piledrives Morton THROUGH the ringside table, horrifying the crowd and guaranteeing a rematch, as the DQ is called at 6:42.  You have to keep in mind that a plain ol’ piledriver was a godkiller in Memphis at the time, and combined with a table, you might as well just cremate Morton and scatter the ashes.  **1/4 

      Nick Bockwinkel v. Manny Fernandez.  From 83 in SCW.  Manny works a headlock, but gets slammed.  Manny responds in kind and grabs another headlock.  Small package gets two, back to the headlock.  Nick keeps rolling him over for two.  Nick whips him off the ropes and goes low to take over, as Jim and Dave relate the story of the Greatest Fight That Never Was between Manny and Tully Blanchard before Starrcade 85.  Backbreaker gets two.  He goes to the bearhug as Manny starts bleeding.  They slug it out, and Manny wins.  Kneedrop gets two.  Suplex gets two.  The FLYING DOUBLE CHOP OF DEATH gets two.  Nick bails, but gets suplexed in for two.  Sleeper, but TV time runs out at 6:47.  Good while it lasted.   **1/2 

     The Sheik v. Mark Lewin.  From Detroit in the early 70s.  This is the first of MANY appearances for good ol’ Ed Farhat on this series.  The Sheik is legitimately Sabu’s uncle, and he brought both Sabu and RVD into the business.  So blame him.  Sheik begs off early on, but chokes Lewin down in the corner.  More cheapshots, this time with the PENCIL OF DOOM.  Okay, sure it’s an effective weapon, but have you ever felt the flimsy lead on most HB pencils?  I hope he was at least using one of those drafting pencils.  More...
