An AWA match from 3/1986!

So much content from this week I'm going to split it into two blog posts! 1st up an AWA tag match from 3/19 Buddy Rose and Doug Summers vs The Midnight Rockers! Standard but very solid tv bout. No mention of the tag titles at all here, I thought Rose and Summers were the champs? Odd oh well, Rockers controlled early using their speed to great advantage. Arm dragging both their foes multiple times. The heels get the heat by Summers trapping Janetty's leg as Rose makes the tag. Not much of a comeback really as Rose jumps in the ring to break up a sunset flip pin by Marty on Summers! The four men battle until The Rockers get thrown into each other from opposite corners. Michaels gets sent outside to the apron. Summers goes to the top rope but before he can leap on a prone Janetty, Shawn pushes him of the rope which allows Marty to climb the rope himself and hit a groggy stumbling Summers with a cross body for the pin! All this time during the finish Rose and Martell were "distracting" the ref. This took forever and came off sloppy! Rose was also way late in trying to make the save!
