Incredible action in the last few bouts. What an upset win for Dr. X. Can he follow up on that? Cool to see Roddy Piper, Killer Kowalski and Lou Thesz go through. Shocking elimination of Buddy Rogers and Larry Zbyszko via DDQ. As tough as Animal is, I'm going with Jack Brisco next.

Jack Brisco (10) v. Road Warrior Animal w/Paul Ellering (55)
Brisco appears to have all the right moves to neutralize the Road Warrior’s power until Animal press slams Brisco in the middle of the ring. Animal does it again to prove a point. Brisco wants to target lower body, Animal wants to slam his opponent into the corners and the mat. Brisco begins to get the worse of it with Animal connecting with jumping elbow drops and flying shoulder rams. Animal whips Brisco into the corner . . . NO ONE HOME for the charge. Roll up for one (R7/P2). Brisco scales the corner . . . Deathjump crossbody . . . Marella counts 1, 2, ¾ (R4/P3). ROLLING REVERSE CRADLE . . . Ellering distracts! Lateral guillotine . . . THREE COUNT! (R5/P5).
Up next . . .

Jack Brisco and Pat Patterson moving on... Proper thing!
I really like Muldoon... Too bad this round will be a NAIL IN THE COFFIN! Of course I'm picking my Vampire brother... Was there ever any doubt? I trust not!

I like Vampiro but the Solid Man may just be a bit too much here.
