Matt Borne vs. Danie Voges, South Africa ?/1980s(?)
Matt motherfucking Borne. From what I've seen South African wrestling was similiar to European wrestling, but this was like something out of Memphis. Aside from the stylistic unusualness of this being rounds and 2/3 falls, they could've worked the same match in the mid south coloseum and it would've gotten pretty over. Mostly Borne generating some insane heat and some great looking punch exchanges. Voges wasn't very charismatic but he threw a surprisingly good right hand and wasn't completely clueless what to do. I also liked how ran into Bornes big boots as if he wasn't expecting to eat big boots. And Borne was just relentless. His heat mongering between moves was world class and when it was time to throw hands he looked great. It made me think him vs. Lawler would've been an all timer. The posting outside the ring was one of the loudest I've ever heard, too. Borderline epic third fall with the local boy bleeding and Borne decking him with punches until a towel is thrown in. I love me a towel finish. This was raw pro wrestling.
