(11/28/1987) AWA World Title Match: Curt Hennig (champion) DCO Wahoo McDaniel in 16:05: This was probably almost exactly what you would expect from these two. Hennig was bumping and selling his ass off for Wahoo, whose shit looked good until the bitter end of his career. Wahoo broke out the blade during the heat because, of course, he did, and the crowd was really into the match. Later, they were gasping at a few tight near falls for Wahoo on Hennig. Rod Trongard and James Blears were blasting the referee for being slow in a way that would make Gorilla Monsoon blush. You can argue some of Curt’s bumps from chops were a little silly, sometimes, somehow jumping vertically into the air like he had a rocket up his ass, but both men were tremendous at drawing the crowd into their story. They fought outside and were both counted out at 16:05, but it was still an excellent match. Yes, it would have been better with a finish, but they built the emotions to where it made sense that they were just beating the hell out of each other on the floor and forgot they were in a match. I’m a mark for both of these men, so I’m sure I’m biased, but so are Fox News and CNN. ****
