That's the Machine for you. When you think you have him down, he comes roaring back.

Backlund got his brakes beat off the last two matches and managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in both.

VS.


BOB BACKLUND 3 (C) vs. GREG 'THE HAMMER' VALENTINE 2

The champion started fast, hammering Valentine with repeated wind-up forearms before planting him with a delayed vertical suplex. The challenger left the ring several times, trying to break Backlund's relentless assault. This frustrated the champion and Backlund finally followed Valentine to the outside and this is where the match turned. The Hammer rammed Backlund into the ring post, busting Bob wide open, before throwing him back in the ring. A shoulder breaker set up a falling elbow hammer for a cover 1.2.. NO! Backlund kicked out as the ref's hand was coming down for three. An atomic drop put the champ down for another two count, as Albano was screaming at the ref "That was three ya bum!" Backlund fought back, hitting an ATOMIC DROP of his own for a cover - 1.2.. NO! Valentine got his foot on the bottom rope breaking the count. Backlund, thinking he had won, jumped up and started celebrating. As the ref was explaining to Bob that Grag had got his on the rope, Albano slipped a foreign object to The Hammer!!! An irate Backlund lunged at Valentine, but The Hammer picked him up and throat dropped him on the ropes. The challenger then slipped the object into his elbow pad before dropping a falling elbow hammer 1.2.. NO! Backlund got his foot on the bottom rope this time. Valentine grabbed Backlund by his foot and drug him to the center of the ring and applied his FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. Bob struggled and scooted until he was able to grab the bottom rope and force the break, but Valentine drug him back to the center of the ring and applied it again. The champion hung on as long as he could, and his shoulders were counted down as he tried to fight through the pain. Madison Square Garden was eerily quiet as Howard Finkle made the announcement, "The winner and NEW WWF CHAMPION... GREG 'THE HAMMER' VALENTINE."
