 WCW Pro 8/10/1997 - Meng vs Terrance Black

 

YESSSSSSSSS

You done it now, Terrance. You done it now.

The finish

You know how they have heavyweight titles and various trophies like King of the Ring or G1 Climax? They should just have a Meng title for being the baddest dude on the planet.

Meng beat Terrance Black in around 4 minutes here with the Tongan Death Grip. This was an awesome squash. They did a 1997 version of a Takayama/Frye punchout. Black did not really sell and I think they legit were nailing each other. Meng then returned the favor and beat up on Black hard. Black got a nice splash in the corner then got busted with the Death Grip for the win. 

This was one of the most effective 4 minute matches I've ever seen and had this happened on a Nitro or a PPV, Black would have made himself a name. Promoters usually like to put skinny wimpy dudes in squashes, but sometimes having legit looking dudes like Black works a lot better. And it makes sense. Are you more impressed if Wrestler A takes down a Marko Stunt or are you more impressed if Wrestler A takes down a giant or some jacked dude? Clearly the latter...just if you have dudes who look tough, it wouldn't make sense to job them.

If you like Meng or hoss matches, you are going to enjoy this one. Good stuff here!
