Terry Funk & Cactus Jack vs. Stan Lane & Eddie Gilbert (WWA 11/9/90)
One of my all time favorite forgotten matches. I love all 4 of these guys. I mentioned Keirn as being one of the most underrated guys of the last 40 years. Stan Lane is probably on that list too. I mean…Fabulous Ones, Midnight Express & Heavenly Bodies? Anyway. This match has crazy heat. Jim Cornette does the Fargo Strut and the crowd goes bonkers. You see these names and expect a wild all over the arena brawl. But this is an old school tag with a lot of bullshit and schtick with the babyfaces outsmarting and outworking the heels. They’re not Verne Gagne vs Billy Robinson out there. They’re punching each other in the face, Cactus is doing insane Cactus stuff. But there’s the beautiful Memphis bullshit feel…and then the top rope just explodes and Terry Funk is like fuck this stooging comedy shit and starts going crazy. Enough of the beautiful Memphis bullshit, its time for piledrivers on the, punches to the face and mad shit talk. They don’t even try to put the top rope back on and Gilbert & Lane are using it within minutes. Lane ends up getting isolated and we get a nice long face in peril section with multiple hope spots & cut offs, a crazy invested crowd, awesome outside the ring manager bullshit with Corny & Bobby in the face role. I assume that’s Hildebrand out there with Cactus & Terry? This is loads and loads of fun and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Truly great match with a memorable hook. I can’t believe its not better remembered. 1990 US MOTYC.
