Jetlag Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 This is such a neat match. Regal is right when he's telling young wrestlers to aim for the technical standard of Terry Rudge matches: the holds in this bout were simple, but executed in tight and clinical fashion, and the focus on competiveness is awesome. It's almost all holds above the waist so it's like a greco roman style pro wrestling match, which is double cool. Rudge was not the shaven headed asskicker yet but looked like the real deal, and this is the most impressive I've seen Thornton look. There were some great forearm smashes in this match too, and I loved how Rudge sold them yanking his head back as if he was about to get decapitated.

Rjhabeeb Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 This is a great World of Sport version of a hoss battle. These guys start off having a good technical wrestling match based around an armbar and it turns into an amazing sporting fight. By the end both men had gone through a war and Thornton wins the third fall with a back breaker. ***½ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
