MACW World Wide Wrestling 18.8.84

Brian Adidis and Kurt Von Hess open up the show for us this week as we head straight into the action with an Adidis armbar. A shoulderblock, leapfrog, flying headscissors and armdrag show off Adidis’ aerial and technical chops. Von Hess tries to use two drop downs to confuse Adidis, but a bodyslam and second armdrag take the match back down to the canvas. The armdrag is a reliable offensive manoeuvre for Adidis as he again uses it to halt a brief Von Hess comeback, and then again after the two men tease a test of strength. An airplane spin is enough for the victory in a perfectly acceptable match to showcase Adidis’ work in the ring.

Paul Jones and JJ Dillon are alongside David Crockett, with Dillon decked out in his wrestling gear. Jones mentions the bad blood that the two men have apparently had for each other, with him saying it is only due to them being in separate places and their attempts to monopolise the greatest wrestling talents seeing themselves pulling away from each other. Dillon’s words are somewhat different, as he speaks about how Jimmy Valiant has become a thorn in the side of Jones, so Dillon dropped all of his business elsewhere to come and support his friend.

Angelo Mosca Jr. is next in the ring as he meets Doug Vines, with the Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Champion refusing an early handshake. Vines attempts a cheapshot out of a clean break, but Mosca Jr. fires back with a punch, a dropkick and a bodyslam. Vines does catch Mosca Jr. with a back elbow and several turnbuckle smashes, only for Mosca Jr. to reverse an arm wringer into one of his own. Mosca Jr. once again has to fight his way back into the contest after getting trapped in the corner, yet he slows the contest down with a side headlock takedown. A handful of hair helps Vines win a battle over a top wristlock, though his control is brief as an armdrag allows Mosca Jr. to work the arm.

Similar to Adidis in the first match, Mosca Jr. is reliant on the armdrag and armbar combination, using it after Vines misses an elbowdrop. Vines is being somewhat competitive and rocks Mosca Jr. in the corner with a punch, but Mosca Jr. reverse a suplex and lands a crossbody off of the top for the three count. I’ve seen worse matches, but Mosca Jr.’s matches are always let down by his lack of exciting offense outside of the top rope crossbody.

After shilling for a show at the Roanoke Civic Center that sees Don Kernodle and Ivan Koloff talk about a two out of three falls, no disqualification match against the Youngbloods for the NWA World Heavyweight Tag Titles, we cut back to ‘The Awesome Twosome’, Tully Blanchard and Wahoo McDaniel, though Blanchard has a word to say to Crockett as he dubs them the ‘Gruesome Twosome’. We are shown footage once again of Wahoo McDaniel interfering in
