Card

Nice start and a good final few minutes but missing any significant middle portion and had a weak as shit finish. I wish we’d gotten more from Patterson this year, as he looked really good here when he was on offense. He just displays so much charisma and character at all times, making him extremely watchable. After a hot start where he took it right to Patera, he ended up getting dumped to the outside and I think he spent a tad too long selling there as it took the heat out of the match. Like my complaints during some of Backlund’s matches, within the WWF in general it feels like they jump from one end of the extreme to the other on the selling scale, and despite the match having been going for only 5-10 minutes, they start selling like they’ve been going at it for 30+ minutes. Just feels a bit jarring to me.
Patterson had a fun comeback though but that was cut short and Patera ended up being disqualified while he repeatedly clubbed Patterson in the chest while they were both in the ropes. The finish kind of just came out of nowhere and it certainly didn’t seem to elevate either man, so really disappointing on that front.
