Loss Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 A brief reprise of the 1990 feud between these guys. Tessa has even been pulled out of mothballs. Tatum, fresh out of prison, is freshly groomed. This is like most of their matches the previous year, and they sort of pretend this feud is still going on even though it's long over. Weird.

PeteF3 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Holy shit, it's Tessa! Tatum is back to being a CHANGED MAN. That is one empty-looking Sportatorium. Neat arm work here from both guys. Tatum levels Dundee with a great shot to the nose and a wicked superkick, but gets suckered to the apron by Tessa for a hug, allowing Dundee to get a quick roll-up for the pin. The heat and intensity had long since disintegrated but this may actually have been the best-worked match of the feud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 This felt like a time warp from 8 months ago. The action was fine and "changed man" Tatum was a favorite of mine, but it feels like everyone has moved past this and as a result this was heatless and by the numbers overall. I did like Tatum being outsmarted at the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I thought Dundee got himself another valet before realizing it was Tessa. Tatum is still hung up about her. The crowd is noticeable smaller. Tessa tricks Tatum with a hug to get Dundee the win. These feud does feel played out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think the idea was supposed to be that USWA Texas was in suspended animation, if you will. That means that the feuds that were still going on when the promotion closed in early September would be picked back up where they left off wherever humanly possible. The Dallas portion of Dundee/Tatum hadn't quite ended yet, though it was winding down, so this was a chance for a final blowoff. All that said, this was sort of perfunctory. Neither man really got to do much, and Tessa (who looked as good as ever, by the way) suckering Tatum like she did here should have happened earlier in the feud. The highlight of the match for me was hearing Michael St. John on commentary. He worked alone here, and he was miles better than he is in Memphis, mixing competent play-by-play with a few interesting historical nuggets, though I'm not sure whether those nuggets were actually true or not. For instance, I never knew that Bobby Shane was an influence on Dundee. I also liked that he actually acknowledged Bill's Scottish heritage; too many people had heard a real Australian accent by this time to be fooled into thinking that Bill was really an Aussie. Not a bad first effort from the returning Texas promotion. Looking forward to more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactus Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Tatum stalls around to start this off, until Dundee gets his hands on him. Dundee uses a lot of WOS-inspired grappling and that took me by surprise. After being distracted by Dundee's valet, Dundee scores a roll-up for the win. Tatum sulks in the ring afterwards, giving some pantomime level facial expression to try and sell his shock and misery. There's not too much here and it didn't go overly long, but this was fine for what it was. ★★½ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
