Bockwinkle/Hennig?

Bingo! The only place I've ever seen it was the Curt Hennig dvd from a few years back.

 

Gosh, it would be stupid to put it on the network.

 

 

Is that the one from Las Vegas?  I swear I've seen a good chunk of that on the Network.  Can't remember which show it was that showed the last 5 minutes or so.

Yeah the 60 minute match was from the Showboat and the title switch was at the Cow Palace.

Both are really good matches, though the 60 minute match is a little better despite the goofy ending. The title change led to the match that ended the Zybysko/Bock feud and then Bock's injury angle that was done so he could jump to WWF (unless my brain is foggy)

I thought the end of the draw was fantastic. The figure four locked in, both guys covered in blood, one holding on despite the pain and refusing to quit, the other with no energy left and hoping the figure four will finish the war.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. Weren't the Showboat tapings a majority hotel/casino patrons? Did that fact affect the crowd heat during the Broadway?

It does to a certain extent. yes, the crowd for that one is surreal. It's like people wander in and out to kill time until the next round of keno and yet the two guys in the match (and decent commentary if IRC) keep the heat on. I've been cheerleading this match for days now. I may need to bust this one out over the weekend. Every time I watch it, I walk away saying "yup, still the best 60 I've seen."

My gripe with the finish of Bock/Hennig 60 minute was the figure four spot. Hennig had been working the arm th whole match while Bock worked the leg, so for Hennig to suddenly go for a leg submission with a minute left killed the suspense for me. Even as a teenager I knew once they were down to less than 5 minutes that it was going tobe a draw, I just think Hennig going for a series of pins would've been better to wrap it up
