No surprise that Handsome Harley is moving onto the next round... And I think most people expect he'll go far...
Iron Sheik is a tough customer, but as long as Snuka can avoid any big mistakes (such as missing a Superfly Leap at a critical moment), I expect he will emerge victorious...
Always fun!

Bobby Fulton and Harley Race advance on. I have a feeling that Race is going to be in the top 4 at least. Thinking The Superfly gets it done next. This is THE Tournament bookerbill! |

Jimmy Snuka (12) v. Iron Sheik (21)
Snuka and Sheik struggle from the lock up and Snuka comes away with a series of headbutts and a piledriver. Sheik counters a vicious chop with a well-timed boot to the gut and pushes Snuka into the ropes but Superfly counters the attempted backdrop with a piledriver. We go to the floor and Snuka gets the best of the brawl with the fans loving it. Back inside, Snuka mounts the corner for a SUPERFLY LEAP but Sheik kicks out! (R9/P5). Snuka keeps on Sheik including a deathjump smash and a head butt. Another piledriver crumples Sheik who wisely rolls outside. Snuka comes outside and smashes Sheik across the back with a chair. The fans are roaring but Morgan Dollar is scolding. Back in the ring, Snuka crushes Sheik with a SUPERFLY LEAP and moves onto the next round. (R6/P6).
Up Next . . . my first time using a Rock 'n' Roll Express card!!!

Figured Snuka would take it. Hawk vs Gibson should be interesting.

Looks like Snuka was lucky to avoid the DQ in that one... Good thing Dollar was in a lenient mood...
Gonna be fun to see one half of the Rn'R Express in action... But, he pulled a really tough draw for the first round... Picking Hawk to win...
Keep on rollin'!
