Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen vs Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr. (AJPW) 12/08/1984
This was a very good brawl. The crowd was hot from the start and stayed that way to the end. Terry Funk in particular stood out with his fiery offense. Dory Funk Jr. did a great job playing the underdog. Hansen and Brody were also great in getting the heat on Dory. Their control periods early on in the match were really good. The Funks had great comebacks throughout the match. The tag team psychology was sound from both sides. One thing that surprised me was how consistent the match was. There was hardly any down time. It was a brawl and all wrestlers brawled throughout. It wasn’t a grappling competition so they hardly did any grappling. One part that I really disliked about the match was somewhere in the middle it felt as if they were repeating spots. It felt like they were doing the same comebacks with the Funks over and over. It’s hard to explain but it ruined the flow of the match for me. Although I disliked the DQ finish I liked Terry’s flurry at the end. It was well built and the DQ made sense with Terry losing control and pummeling everyone in sight.
Final Rating - ***¾
