Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:41:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: MRobert21 http://www.rspwfaq.com/2007/01/tnt-2/#comment-3221 MRobert21 Mon, 29 Jan 2007 00:41:46 +0000 http://www.rspwfaq.com/?p=240#comment-3221 The Dream Team definitely brought the goods and I watched all of their run. They may not have been the awesome force that Demolition and the Hart Foundation were who followed them as top heel tag team, but they were a million times better than the Sheik / Volkoff team whose spot they took as top heel tag team. Yes, Valentine carried the in ring work, but Ed Leslie had a definite look and showed flashes of what would later get him over huge as the Barber. I would have rather given them Jimmy Hart or Heenan as a manager because I never got into Valiant, but it was the heat of the Dream Team that got the Bulldogs over so big when they hit the WWF. Some other thoughts / questions: 1. Who was Steve Gatorwolf? I do not remember him at all. McMahon seems to love the Native American stereotypes. I am not into political correctness so I do not get offended by it, but I find it dull (see Tatanka) because if you have seen the act once you have seen it a million times. 2. Did Brian Blair work Orndorff as a single? I only remember Blair in the Killer Bees in the WWF. I mark out hard for Blair no matter what Iron Sheik thinks of him. That 10 year old with the loaded knee pad was lucky to be taught the basics by these 2 legends. 3. Was Fuji General Hospital as good as Fuji Vice? I did not have cable back when they did those skits. I cry now whenever I watch Fuji Vice, it was awesome. Those type skits would have made Muraco a bigger face than his tye dye / steroid combination did.

Thats about it. Oh and Im sure Scott remembers the swank hammerlock he threw on dynamite kid, where he grabbed him in the hammerlock and lifted him in the air and just dropped him on the arm. I remember seeing that as a kid and thinking how sick that was. The one thing I remember beefcake doing well was the high knee. Thats about it.

What they did, they did very effectively. The Dream Team were a case of Valentine bringing the goods and Beefcake being smart enough to stand on the apron and let him carry the team.

However, anytime I see an old Dream Team match, I'm usually thoroughly impressed. Did they always bring the goods, or is it just that the better matches have crossed my path?
