Noah's Greatest Matches of the 80's.

[Shootkick Man]

This is a new thread I'm starting just so everybody knows it's here. I will be placing the best matches of the 80's. This will be very similar like my last 80's project thread.

Original 80's Project thread: Click Here (http://www.uowforums.com/showthread.php?t=306407)

[Shootkick Man]

Mr Saito vs Curt Hennig-AWA 3/28/85- This is really good. Hennig was a terrific worker even in his early years

_4rd8NgHX5s

[Shootkick Man]

Tito Santana/Rick Martel vs High Flyers-AWA 8/29/82. This match is fantastic. I bet most didn't realize that Santana & Martel were tag team partners in the AWA. During the 80's, Gagne/Brunzell were one of the best tag teams. Wait till you see Jim Brunzell's dropkick.
