Booker T & Stevie Ray vs. Bunkhouse Buck & Dick Slater

[3.0] "Unarmed with the humorous stylings of the match beforehand, this is quite boring. Booker T is always a nice watch but big Stevie is in rare form (derogatory) here, donning a t-shirt and looking utterly exhausted at every turn. That, paired with the all-heel dynamic and an 8-minute runtime leaves you in some trouble, though I always appreciate how rugged Buck and Slater can be. *1/2"

[5.0] "A fine contest that had little crowd reaction for it. Just four men kinda slugging away at each other. Some good work involved here and I think the finish was really fun with first Parker reversing the package so that Buck was pinning Booker. While trying to get the referee to notice, Sherri reversed it back which then the referee noticed the pin and counted it for a Harlem Heat victory. **1/4"

[4.0] "I guess Harlem Heat were the babyfaces, but they didn't make a definite turn and as a result the crowd didn't care, which even the commentators acknowledged. Booker's hot tag didn't get any pop and even though the work was alright, it didn't have any emotions attached to it."

[4.0] "This match was focused on Sherri Martel and Robert Parker's feud and Slater was well past his prime here. Booker T looked good, but it was really slow and not memorable at all."

[3.0] "Not a great match but you weren? t gonna get a good match out of Buck and Slater. I did think the interference rollover at the end was kinda cool though."

[4.0] "Filler tag match. Harlem Heat worked better with the Nasties and this was more about the Sherri/Parker love feud."

[3.0] "This match is all about Sherri Martel (as more things should be) after she decked Col Parker for sexually harassing her earlier. Sadly the match doesn't live up to the premise, as the cowboys are too old and weren't much good even in their prime, and Harlem Heat were decent brawlers who relied on charisma to look good, and that wasn't on display here. Booker T is the best wrestler here (apart from Sherri), but he can't make this look good. Terribly botched ending too, Sherri deserved a better match in her honour."

[4.0] "A match that isn't bad but would be entirely forgettable if not for the novelty of the feuding heel managers, the hit or miss Colonel Parker and the incomparably great Sensational Sherri (or whatever legally distinct nickname she had at the time)."
