Carlos Colon vs Tully Blanchard 8/83

This was from the World Wrestling Council based out of Puerto Rico. Island legend Carlos Colon takes on the touring 'Super Brat' Tully Blanchard. TB was a phenomenal all around performer: exemplary in the ring, a solid promo man, knew how to project his persona and connect with the audience. He compensated for his lack of size with a strong work ethic, effective bumping, stooging/selling skills and the poise of a master ring general. I have seldom seen a 'poor' Tully Blanchard match. Here he plays his niche of a crafty yet cowardly heel....a formula he would use successfully in the US for the reminder of the decade.
