Thanks for the comments TTX . The dice were just cruel over and over again for that card. Look for some rematches coming up to set things right.

Card 39 – Boston Garden, Boston, MA

Al Snow def. Rock Riddle with a huracanrana – dud. Snow needed just five move to get the three count from Morgan Dollar who had strict instructions for both men.

Mikey Whipwreck def. Lou Albano with a Cobra Clutch Suplex - ***. Albano shocked the fans when he smashed Whipwreck early on with Dr. Mike Lano’s camera busting the fan favourite open and turning the match in his favour but Whipwreck mounted a late comeback after drawing on the fans support.

Too Cool (Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor) def. Frank Dalton & Tommy Gilbert when Taylor pinned Dalton after a two-handed bulldog – dud. Taylor countered a clothesline into the corner with one of his own sending both Taylor & Dalton to the mat. Both recovered to their feet at about the same time but Taylor bounced Dalton’s head off the mat and Morgan Dollar was quick with the three count.

Texas Hangmen (Killer & Psycho) def. Larry Hennig & Hugh Morrus when Killer pinned Morrus after a Hangmen’s Hammer - * ½. A short match but intense power battle that saw the double teaming of the Hangmen turn the match in their favour and lead directly to the winning pin.

Barry Windham & B.G. James def. Soviets (Alexis Smirnoff & Nikolai Volkoff) when Windham pinned Volkoff with a LARIAT - **. Some entertaining back and forth action after Volkoff sung of the crowd and earned some great heat. James nearly put Volkoff away after an impressive PUMP HANDLE SLAM but it was Windham who nailed both is finishers and score the pin fall while James blocked the pin save.

Justin Credible def. Buddy Rogers by disqualification when Rogers used a chair to smash Credible in the leg - **. Credible was able to withstand a solid attack from the Nature Boy and was on the comeback when Rogers decided to use a chair to take out Credible during action outside the ring.

World Champion Ted DiBiase def. Iron Sheik with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK - *. In a rare turn of events, the fans are backing the champion tonight and he responds putting away the loaded glove and instead focusing on his two legal finishers. It is a winning strategy as DiBiase dominated the match and gets the submission victory under the watchful eye of Morgan Dollar who had strict instructions for both men before the bell.

In a Steel Cage Match, World Tag Team Champions Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) w/Paul Ellering def. Vachons (Butcher Vachon & Mad Dog Vachon) when Hawk pinned Butcher Vachon after a DOOMSDAY DEVICE - ****. This was a brutal and bloody brawl that saw Mad Dog Vachon, Butcher Vachon and Animal where the crimson mask before it was all over with. Butcher saved his brother after a DOOMSDAY DEVICE about mid way through the match but Mad Dog could not return the favour at the finish of the match.

I am continuing to enjoy the action presented here. Ted Dibiase looks to be on a good run as the world champion. I absolutely loved the Road Warriors vs. Mad Dog & Butcher Vachon in the cage in Boston. What a war!

[TTX]

Enjoying DiBiase's title reign. Rogers decides to injure instead of win.

Ron Hutchison def. Angelo Poffo by disqualification when Poffo used a chair to attack Hutchison on the floor - * ½ - Hutchison thrilled the fans with a dominating performance as Poffo was on the defensive for most of the contest thanks to Hutchison countering abilities and his scientific attack. Poffo let his frustrations get the best of him and it cost him the decision.

Vachons (Mad Dog Vachon & Butcher Vachon) def. Texas Hangmen (Psycho & Killer) when Butcher Vachon used a deathjump on Killer for the pin - ** ½.

Steve Corino def. Al Snow w/Head with an OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION - ** ½.

Mikey Whipwreck & Too Cool (Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor) def. Lou Albano, Frank Dalton & Tommy Gilbert by disqualification when Gilbert jumped into the match to save Dalton from being pinned - *.

“Iron” Mike DiBiase def. Jack Brisco with a TOP TOPE KNEE TO BACK - ** ½. DiBiase appeared to get under the skin of Morgan Dollar before the bell.

Flying Redheds (Red Bastien & Billy Red Lyons) def. Larry Hennig & Hugh Morrus by disqualification when Morrus attacked Lyons on the floor with a chair – dud. This one was over before it really got started with the action going outside almost immediately and Morrus grabbing a chair leading to the finish.

Pampero Firpo def. Killer Kowalski by disqualification when Kowalski slammed Firpo through the ringside table - ***. The beatdown Kowalski delivered was incredible and included four Bombs Away. Firpo was essentially out of his feet when Kowalski pursued him to the floor late in the match but Firpo had one final burst of energy and sent Kowalski face first into the post. Kowalski was busted wide open as the action returned to the ring but things went back to the floor immediately and Kowalski, enraged, slammed his foe through the table and was disqualified.

Women’s Champion Mildred Burke def. Fabulous Moolah by disqualification when Moolah decked Burke with her own title belt - **. Moolah had some unsolicited advice for Morgan Dollar before the bell that was not taken well by the official. Burke struggled to get something going against the countering of his challenger with Moolah picking up a near fall with a BODY PRESS. Things went to the floor and Moolah took things into her own hands and it cost her opportunity at the gold.

World Tag Team Champions Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal) w/Paul Ellering def. B.G. James & Barry Windham when Hawk pinned James after a DOOMSDAY DEVICE. *** ½. The history of tension between Morgan Dollar and the Road Warriors continued with Paul Ellering again being sent to the back before the match by the official. This was a short but wild encounter. Animal and Windham traded turnbuckle post rams in the opening minute leaving both men a bloody mess. James did not look out of place against the champions but a double clothesline changed that and set the course for the Warriors to retain but it took three DOOMSDAY DEVICES to get the job done.

Vampiro def. World Champion Ted DiBiase with NAIL IN THE COFFIN to win the Title - ***. DiBiase was dominating the action from the opening bell and had picked up several near falls without using a finisher as Vamprio lead the champion to the floor where he ran DiBiase into the post head first.
