Buddy Rose vs Chris Adams (2/3 Falls - PNW - 2/26/83)
Outstanding match. If this took place in Crockett or Mid-South it would be one of the legendary matches of the 80s. Pretty much a classic Ace not taking the hot shot new comer seriously and being pushed to the absolute limit. The first fall reminded me a lot of the Buddy you’ll see in the Rockers feud. Lots of schtick and trying to one up the younger, flashier, more athletic guy. The 3rd fall is just incredibly dramatic straight out of 90s AJPW with just bombs and counters and nearfall after nearfall building to an amazing crescendo. Obviously they’re not doing tiger drivers and powerbombs, but these guys were busting out high-end offense for the era. Chris Adams was especially underrated in this regard busting out his GOAT super kick, a tombstone piledriver (!) and a motherfucking tope in 1983 Portland (!!!). Incredible must see match.
