The Battens VS The Nightmares - CWA 12/29/1984

JJZ: I don't know where the hell we've gone CJD but I don't know who the Nightmares are either! With the Battens being twins but also faces, I was wondering if they would still do the switch a roo when the ref wasn't looking. They did! I like it. There's a finish in this match I've never seen before. It's easy to argue that it was unnecessary and the other Batten should've ran in but I think it legitimately gives and shows the ref's power in the ring. Great flow to the match with both teams showing off good offense. The Nightmares gave off such good sleazy 80s heel energy. All while looking like rec league softball players. These last few matches have been so much fun man. Love Debutting wrestlers to PIF.

CJD: Rec League Softball Players indeed baby. What a perfectly 80s territory tag team match. The Nightmares were a treat. Memphis is a huge blindspot for me, stylistically it's just not my bag, even if I'll always have a soft spot for matches like this. Matches that go to Fist City, if you know what I mean!! I'm so fascinated to see what I dig up with the Beer league boys, I can't imagine that's the more famous Danny Davis before he started ripping shit up at the gym. Maybe they did a tour of All Japan?!? Also yeah, that finish was an interesting one indeed. Just a fun oddball match in general my friend.
