Friday, November 12, 2010

World Class Diaries: Match #70
Sunday, November 7, 2010
Match #70: Chris Adams vs. Jake The Snake (9/3/84) 80s wrestling icon Jake the Snake makes his debut on our World Class Diaries journey, facing the man who is about to form a Dynamic Duo with Gino Hernandez.
Mid South Diaries: Match # 112
Thursday, August 21, 2008
Match # 112: Dick Slater vs. Jake Roberts (No DQ, Dark Journey In A Cage) (2/28/86) This is a match I’ve never heard legend of, including the feud itself, and I’m surprised by that. The crowd is so passionate before the match can even start, waiting for an unhappy Dark Journey to get into the [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #108
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Match # 108: Dick Slater vs. Jake Roberts (2/14/86) I could have sworn the whole point of Match # 106: Terry Taylor vs Jake Roberts was to determine a number one contender for the North American Title, yet Taylor won and Jake is in the title match. What’s this all about?
Mid South Diaries: Match #106
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Match #106: Terry Taylor vs. Jake Roberts (2/11/86) Is Jake a heel here or is this face vs face? It’s a TV taping, so we should get commentary background. It’s being pushed as a # 1 contender’s match for the North American Title. That seems fair given the participants. Taylor gets a mix of cheers [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #100-101
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Match # 100: Dick Murdoch & Masked Superstar vs. Brett Sawyer & Al Perez (1/19/86) Masked Superstar is a pre-Demolition Bill Eadie. He’s not very intimidating in that shirt though. Thankfully for me his partner is the great Dick Murdoch! Sawyer and Perez are very good smaller faces that never made it, but are very [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #98-99
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Match # 98: Dick Slater vs. Jake Roberts (1/1/86) Dick Slater and Dark Journey are mid-ring with Jim Ross. He’s interviewing the two because it’s the finals of the TV tournament. But more importantly, Slater is the new North American Champion. He beat Butch Reed. Slater says he wants both the N.A. title and the [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match # 87
Sunday, August 17, 2008
Match # 87: Jake Roberts vs. Lord Humongous (Cage Match) (11/29/85) Things really move when you watch sets with cherry-picked matches. Jake was in a big singles/tag team mess with Dibiase and Dr. Death Steve Williams just a few matches back. Then he had his big babyface World Title shot at Ric Flair, which was [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match # 86
Sunday, August 17, 2008
Match # 86: Jake Roberts vs. Ric Flair (11/24/85) Reason number 457 to love this set – unique match-ups you would never have seen growing up in the Northeast. Perhaps these two crossed pathes during Flair’s WWF run, but I don’t remember it off the top of my head if they did. This is an [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #68
Friday, August 15, 2008
Match # 68: Ted DiBiase vs. Jake Roberts (7/22/85) Alright, this is awesome. Did I not just say I wanted to see more of these two? Here I thought I’d have to track down 1989-1991 WWF footage, and yet they give me the continuation of the feud we saw earlier. Williams is seconding the focused [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #65
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Match # 65: Ted DiBiase & Dr. Death vs. Jake Roberts & The Barbarian (7/14/85) A lot of fun stuff here. Jake is so great with how he carries himself, and you can really see what Raven was trying to emulate with his ECW character in the late 90s. I actually enjoyed Raven more in [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #61
Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Match # 61: Rock N Roll Express vs Jake Roberts/The Barbarian (6/28/85) Final match in the Rock N Roll Express trifecta, and sad to say the prior two didn’t fully live up to expectation (though those were terribly high). Their second match with Doc/Dibiase was a good TV match, but not a ballot favorite, but [...]
Mid South Diaries: Match #49
Monday, August 11, 2008
Match # 49: Steve Williams/Jake Roberts vs The Fantastics 4/14/85 Not sure why Jake and Doc are a team here other then they’re both heels. I’ve never been a fan of miss-mosh teams that have totally different characters and yet are supposed to be a cohesive unit that’s not questioned storyline wise. That being said, [...]
