WWF Prime Time Wrestling 2/17/86 review

 WWF Prime Time Wrestling 2/17/86 Match #1 Pedro Morales vs Moondog Spot The moondog took much of the match! Pedro took a hard scary looking bump over the top rope! Spot suplexed him back in the ring. Pedro missed a dropkick as Spotty held onto the ropes. Getting a very close two count. Pedro won the match with an O'Connor roll. The crowd hated this match. They went from BORING chants to just simply not caring at all!
     Match #2 Danny Spivey vs Rene Goulet A better more competitive bout than I expected. Comedy spots early Goulet got caught on the top rope backwards. He hooked his feet outside the top rope so Spivey dropped him face first to break the hold. Goulet Did a handstand to break a head scissors and Spivey got up went around Goulet(still in the handstand very impressive balance) and kicked Goulet in the mid-section! Goulet put his "Scorpio"Claw hold on Spivey three different times in the match.(by the end the crowd was with the match. Spivey took a hard bump between the ropes to the floor. Danny reversed a whip into the corner, Goulet hit face first. Spivey hooked on his Bulldog headlock and got his hand raised in victory! Crowd cheered loud when he won! Credit to those two for turning the crowd!
     Match #3 "Iron" Mike Sharpe vs George Wells This match was great! These two beat the shit out of each other! I think they were told they were the Main Event, because boy they worked like it! Sharpe stalls early Wells hit him with two dynamite dropkicks! Sharpe hurls Wells outside rams him into a barricade head first! hits vicious open handed chops, he unties his signature black wrist protector and uses the laces to choke Wells! Sharpe even nails wells outside with a chair! George looks legit stunned. At one point Sharpe bends back wells on the apron and hits two forearms that rang through MSG. He rammed Wells into the announce desk. Wells fires up and begins to simply ball up his fist and beat up Sharpe! He gets the laces from Sharpe and chokes him almost out! Wells hits a crossbody after he ducked a Sharpe Clothesline. Sharpe kicks out and Wells is sent to the floor from the powerful Canadian's kickout. Sharpe goes to the floor and while the brawl continues the time limit expires! I may never get to but I want to see the rematch!
     Match #4 from Feb of 1975 Manuel Soto and Pete Sanchez vs Johnny Rodz and Jack Evans. Not much to the match, minutes of punching and kicking. Match was joined in progress. Sanchez got the hot tag after Soto was eye raked and kicked and just mauled! Rodz came off the top rope with a stomp several times on Soto! Sanchez came in and hit two terrific dropkicks on Evans. Bodyslammed him and tagged in Soto who hit a sunset flip for the win!
     Match #5 Tiger Chug Le vs Ted Arcedi (Why did this never main event a Pay-Per-View???.......Oh yeah because people can see!) Arcedi did power spots early,in the middle and at the end(that's all Arcedi could do he makes Stroman look like Dean Malenko!) every time Chung Le hit him he went down like a shot! He paid attention to the "Selling" unit in wrestling school! He put Chung Le in a bearhug and almost fell down! He managed by some utter miracle of physics to stay upright and win the bout via submission using the move!
     Main event ( I use that term loosely) Terry Funk vs Scott McGee. Fair bout, Funk slapped McGee during referee instructions. McGee returned the favor and Funk wound up on his face! Funk went upside down in the corner and looked like he might have hurt his knee! They did the spot where Jimmy Hart tried to trip McGee, Scotty chased him around the ring. Jimmy ran into the ring and Funk hit a clothesline for a near fall. The finish sequence was flawless. Funk hit a sunset flip off the top rope(the fans liked that) McGee kicked out at two. Reversed the hold and stacked Funk on his shoulders for a near fall. Funk got up and clamped on a headlock. McGee countered with a quick back suplex. Went up top and jumped right into Funk's raised knee! Who rolled over and pinned McGee! Postmatch Funk used the branding iron on McGee and got chased out of the ring by Scotty with a chair! Couple very good bouts on this show!
