NWA US Champion Dusty Rhodes vs Bobby Eaton - NWA Worldwide 2/6/88

 

The main feud post-Starrcade, pre-Clash I for Dusty Rhodes was against the Midnight Express, which shows the Eaton/Lane team could be a main event act. It is often said the Condrey-MX was a main event act that Lane team wasn't. I think that is mostly true, but this is an exception.

 

Really good match built around foreign objects. It starts with Dusty blowing a kiss to Corny and turning his backside to him. God Bless Dusty! Dusty was dazing Eaton with those looping lefts, take this opportunity readjust the junk and BAM! Just when it looks like the American Dream was going to run away with this, Cornette creates a distraction and Eaton uses the racquet to attack the knee of Big Dust. Carrying all that weight, always smart to go after Dusty's knees. Great work on the outside with the railing, chair and more racquet shots. Eaton was laser focused on the knee with all the usual trimmings and of course popping Dusty with that Sweet Home Alabama right hand. Dusty got his hope spots in like a DDT on the concrete, but he was too obsessed with hobbling after Cornette that Eaton was able to go back to the knee. Dusty throws a dropkick really had to swing those head, but they collide heads. Cornette throws a pair of knuckledusters in the ring and Dusty grabs a hold of them and wins the match! The ref finds the knux and disqualifies him! Setting up the rematch in the cage. Dusty slaps Cornette around and smashes Cornette's glasses. What a bully! Fun times. ***
