Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen vs. The Funks (Terry Funk and Dory Funk, Jr.) (World Tag Team League Match), from AJPW Grand Champion Carnival 1 Night 27

Is it weird that I found something hysterical about Bruiser Brody playing Boy Scout? He’s willing to do double-team moves with his hothead partner and he has a mean dropkick, but when a Funk takes liberties with him, Brody has to remind himself that committing homicide will get himself disqualified and that means he doesn’t get a win bonus. It’s the closest thing this match has to dramatic tension as the first two-thirds are wrapped up in well-executed wrestling holds that don’t build to a mighty crescendo. They’d have better matches later, though this is enjoyable in its own right.
