Now this is a WoS match that non-WoS can get behind.
You have a clear established heel vs rookie face dynamic that's played out brilliantly.In 20 minutes you have the set up, the match and the post-match. It's a great little bit of theatre.
Breaks quickly looses his cool, angry that this child (a 16 year old Davey Boy Smith) has the temerity to fight back and proceeds to tear his arm to bits. DBS is very limited as you'd imagine but that works in the context of the match as it's clear Young David is reliant on guts and luck as opposed to skill.
I also love that Breaks has put up £100 of his own money if Young David can pin him. Not £100,000 or anything daft like that. Breaks has always reminded me of a gobby pub bully and wagering 100 quid - but only 100 quid - to show off beating up a child is somehow so on brand with that.
