Match # 82: Pretty Young Things vs. The Daydreamers (Texas Tornado) (3/25/85)
Generic pretty boy babyfaces brawling with the great heel team of PYT (Norvell Austin and Koko Ware). The PYT just beat them pillar to post early as all four men are legal, and so is the outside stuff.
The Daydreamers suck at throwing punches, and in this match that’s pretty much your bread and butter. This match is exactly the kind of stuff people would later complain about in reference to ECW a decade later. Hardcore from everybody isn’t a good thing, and even if this was the only craziness on the card, these are the wrong guys to do it with. This match did nothing for me. Koko Ware had a great drop kick off the second rope. The Daydreamers played their underdog role decently. All of it ran together. The D-Dreamers did come back around the ten minute mark. They did do a good stereo back drop spot. The PYT did use a cane shot to cheat and win. 2 ¼ and 4/10.
