ADRIAN ADONIS VS. UNCLE ELMER

I have heard terrible things about this match, for some reason I seem to like punishing myself here so I'm going to throw two terrible reviews together before one of my favourites.

Adrian Adonis enters with Jimmy Hart. Jesse Ventura and Lord Alfred Hayes are on commentary for this match. Uncle Elmer makes his way to the ring and the crowd sounds excited as I am for this match. Jimmy Hart tries to spray Uncle Elmer with some kind of perfume, leading to him and Adonis being chased out of the ring

ADRIAN ADONIS VS. UNCLE ELMER
WWF Wrestlemania 2 (7th April 1986)



As Adrian Adonis gets back in the ring, uncle Elmer gets some forearm shots in then send The Adorable One into the turnbuckle. Uncle Elmer sends Adonis into the corner, he goes upside down and drops to the mat. Uncle Elmer hits him with a right hand but falls on his own arse. Adrian Adonis tumbles through the ropes to the floor, he gets back in and a right hand sends his shoulder into the corner post. Jimmy Hart tries to help Adonis to his feet, getting him back in the ring before he's counted out. Uncle Elmer brings Adonis to the apron and tries to rip the dress off, but settles for clubbing Adonis on the back and bringing him in the hard way. Uncle Elmer does something that sends Adonis over the ropes, getting his arms trapped (seriously, was that a headbutt or what?) Uncle Elmer gets some right hands in as Jimmy Hart tries to free his client. Adrian Adonis gets the advantage, dropping Elmer to his knees before removing the dress. Uncle Elmer blocks an irish whip sending Adonis into the corner for an avalanche, Uncle Elmer misses a leg drop and Adonis heads to the middle rope hitting something between a headbutt and a splash for the win.

WINNER: ADRIAN ADONIS

I have no idea. Wrestlemania wasn't the spectacle it is today, making this match a bit of a headscratcher in hindsight. They didn't kill each other and got in and out quickly before messing anything major up but that's all that can be said. – WORKRATE: 1.5/5 PERSONAL ENJOYMENT 1/5 OVERALL 2.5/10
