It was the first NWA cage match I ever saw so I associate it with the "raking the face back and forth against the cage" spot (which I love). Plus world title changes were always exciting to me back then. 87 was the first Starrcade I ever saw and I watched it a LOT. It introduced me to Sting and made me think he was awesome, the scaffold match... is not a good match but it was enough of a proto-Sportz-Entertainment oddity that I liked it as a kid. It was a solid introduction to the mid-to-late-80s NWA cast of characters.Daniel Swinneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-80156502353782350072014-10-13T08:12:42.917-06:002014-10-13T08:12:42.917-06:00They did do something like that.
