I think that turnbuckle has won more matches than any wrestler. Go Molly. It certainly seems to be true |

Card 20 Madison Square Garden, New York, New York
The Garden is jammed with all the gold on the line tonight in addition to a steel cage showdown in the main event. Dr. Mike Lano is at ringside to capture the action.
Larry Hennig & Hugh Morrus def. Sheepherders when Hennig used THE AXE on Butch Miller - *1/2. This was a fun opener that went back and forth and featured plenty of brawling. Hennig & Morrus actually functioned well together and it was a hot tag to Hennig after some lengthy heat on Morrus and a couple of near falls that turned the match and led to the finish.
Al Snow def. Diamond Dallas Page with a SNOW PLOW - * ½. Snow came to compete tonight and quickly forced Page to the defensive with a series of forearm and a pair of back to back enzuigiris. Page just could nothing going and well to Snow’s finisher in a rather short match.
Too Cool def. Vachons by disqualification - **. Too Cool looked to be in complete control against Butcher Vachon but Scott Taylor missed THE WORM which allowed the match momentum to turn and for Mad Dog Vachon to unleash a savage attack on Taylor that ended up in a brawl on the floor. Vachon used his chain to choke Taylor and that was enough for Morgan Dollar to make the disqualification call.
Ida Mae Martinez def. Beverly Shade via submission with a Texas Cloverleaf **. An quick match that was controlled by Martinez for the most part as she really turned up her offense with a flying head scissors and never looked back until she locked in the cloverleaf for the submission.
B.G. James def. Pampero Firpo by disqualification. Morgan Dollar had strict instructions for both men before the bell and FIrpo pushed Dollar’s tolerance almost immediately with a hair rub into James’ eyes and continued to brawl until he took things too far outside when he cracked James across the back with a chair and Dollar called the bell. Firpo kept after James after the match and Barry Windham stormed to the ring to break things up before James could be injured.
Steve Corino def. Brutus Beefcake with an OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION. Corino weather an early offense run by Beefcake and then connected with a sitout powerbomb and then back to back finishers for the impressive victory.
Justin Credible def. Mikey Whipwreck with JUST INCREDIBLE. **. This one was all over the place and unfolded at a quick pace as the action went in and out of the ring. Dollar clearly wanted to see a clear winner and turned a blind eye to some questionable tactics by both men and appeared to make a somewhat quick count after Credible connected with his finisher.
Vampiro def. Iron Sheik with NAIL IN THE COFFIN ****. This was just an amazing bloody brawl that had the fans roaring throughout. Vampiro beat Sheik to within an inch of his life including to NAIL IN THE COFFIN finishers but Sheik came back and soon both men wore the crimson mask before Vampiro mounted a comeback of his own to put Sheik away.
Killer Kowalski def. Barry Windham with the KOWALSKI CLAW *** ½. This classic battle of the big men went in Kowalski’s favour as he was relentless in his attack from the opening bell with Windham narrowly avoiding defeat multiple times before Kowalski pinned him to the mat with his finisher.
World Tag Team Champions Road Warriors w/Paul Ellering def. Flying Redheads with DOOMSDAY DEVICE to Billy Red Lyons - * ½. This was a classic battle of power vs. speed and tonight it was the power of the Warriors that ruled the day as they crushed Lyons with their tandem finish but Bastien was able to get into the ring to make the save but the Warrior simple took out Lyons with another DOOMSDAY DEVICE to retain.
King Kong Bundy def. Ted DiBiase with win the World Title with an ATLANTIC CITY AVALANCHE **. In what many considered a significant upset, Bundy was too big for DiBiase to handle and punished the champion from bell to bell before crushing him with his finisher. Interesting, DiBiase clearly annoyed Morgan Dollar before the bell and DIBiase was furious with the official after the match.
Abdullah The Butcher def. Jimmy Snuka with a SUDANESE MEAT CLEAVER in a Steel Cage Match. This was a horrific beat down from start to finish with even the more hardcore of fans calling for the match to be ended before the finish. Snuka was literally carved into a bloody mess and left in a heap in the middle of the ring as the fans pelted the victorious Butcher with trash.

Awesome wins for Vampiro and Kowalski... Not sure if that main event will serve as a blow-off for their intense feud, but Superfly might want to think twice before climbing inside a steel cage with the Butcher again... Oh, snap!

Another great run of shows my friend. I love Abdullah getting the better of Snuka in the recent bouts. That MSG card was great from start to finish. King Kong Bundy winning the world title from Ted Dibiase was great. I love seeing Bundy carry the world title. Hopefully he can have a decent run with it. Excellent win for Vampiro as well coming up big against the Iron Sheik.

Card 21 North Attleboro, North Attleboro, MA
Texas Hangmen (Psycho & Killer) def. Larry Hennig & Hugh Morris with a HANGMEN BACKBREAKER to Morris - **.

Fit Finlay def. Al Snow w/Head with a TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER – dud. This one lasted just three moves.
Rockin Robin def. Tina Moretti with a TOP ROPE BULLDOG - **.

Vampiro def. Angelo Poffo by disqualification when Poffo used a chair to attack Vampiro on the floor - * ½. Vampiro was able to push the offensive in this match until Poffo’s frustrations boiled over and used a chair to drop his opponent during a brawl on the floor.
Flying Redheads (Red Bastien & Billy Red Lyons) def The Soviets (Alexis Smirnoff & Nikolai Volkoff) by disqualification when the referee reversed his decision when The Soviets carried on after they had won the match ** ½. A barn burner from the outset with Volkoff taking a beating including several rapid fire dropicks but in the end the Russian duo was able to use their size to power back and get the victory after Smirnoff used a HEART PUNCH on Bastien. Post match, Bastien is beaten down and Smirnoff plants him with a second HEART PUNCH. Bastien needs assistance leaving the ring.
Jimmy Snuka def. Steve Corino by disqualification when Corino smashed Snuka with the ring bell during a brawl on the floor - ***. Corino managed to control the early action before Snuka finally exploded back and dominated the match including three SUPERFLY LEAPS that somehow Corino survived before the action returned to the floor and Snuka was left a bloody heap on the floor.
Pampero Firpo & Killer Kowalski def. B.G. James & Barry Windham when Kowalski caught Windham with a dropkick for three count - * ½. All four men traded moves and Windham made the ropes to escape EL GARFIO. The shocking finish came when Kowalski ducked away from a Windham dropkick and then connected with one his own and it was enough to just get the three count.

That was a huge win for Too Cool over the reigning champions, technical decision or not... Hoping a title shot against the Roadies is somewhere in their future.
Really like seeing DiBiase with the top belt... Major bonus that he defeated Bundy in questionable fashion... Good times!

Thanks Pariah for the comments. Too Cool will get their rematch at the next MSG show. Card 23 Lewiston Armory, Lewiston, ME Rock Riddle def. Brutus Beefcake with a figure four leglock - *. Impressive debut for Riddle who goes move for move with Beefcake and then picks up the submission victory (Snake Eyes!). Iron Sheik def. Diamond Dallas Page with a sidewinder suplex *** ½. This was a wild and bloody encounter that saw Page strike with two DIAMOND CUTTERS, including one on the defensive, but could secure the three count before Sheik loaded his boot and came back for the victory. Billy Red Lyons def. Nikolai Volkoff with a SLEEPERHOLD **** ½. Classic encounter of power vs. speed and science went back and forth and could have gone either way but Lyons appeared to have more left in the tank as the match wore on and was able to use his finisher to come away with the victory in a rare singles appearance. Malia Hosaka def. Candi Divine by disqualification - * ½.

Both competitors went for a victory early and often before things began to settle down but Windham put on an impressive show heading into the finish hitting his SWEETWATER SUPLEX, BLACKJACK CLAW and then finally his LARIAT in a row to end the match. King Kong Bundy & Fit Finlay def. World Champion Ted DiBiase & “Iron” Mike DIBiase when Finlay pinned Mike DiBiase with a hard scoop slam - **. Ted DiBiase saved his father after an ATLANTIC CITY AVALANCHE and then almost made Bundy submit to a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK before the momentum turned and Finlay planted Iron Mike for the win. |
