Match # 98: Bill Dundee & Sherri Martel vs. Koko Ware & Candi Divine (10/26/85)

A mixed tag match featuring the ladies. Sherri would become famous after her AWA run as Queen Sherri with Macho King Randy Savage, and later in WCW managing Harlem Heat.

The Ladies go right after each other brawling. Candi doesn’t seem very good. She’s tentative and doesn’t seem to keeo track of her spacing. Translation: it looks like a trainee learning how to wrestle. Everything she does looks fake and the opposite of smooth. Yet somehow the ladies are in far too much in this match.

Ware gets his hands on Dundee momentarily, and that’s a lot better. Some of the comedy spot to make the Ware/Divine team look good are a lot of fun, but this isn’t a best of match. It’s probably on the set for the variety of it. In that sense, it’s enjoyable.

Dundee hits Candi Divine and Martel covers for the first fall. This is pretty much missed as they head to commercial as it’s going down.

Second fall is much more intense. It’s still kind of a mess. Sloppy is a better word, and the men and women aren’t always on the same page. It’s decent with Koko and Dundee in. The match ends as it really should – in the middle of the second fall with nothing going on. Near dud. 2 and 3/10.
