Ryan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I knew Sekimoto was short even by Japanese puroresu standards for a heavyweight, but holy shit, he's dwarfed by everyone except the women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 That is an awesome card. Rick McGraw was way over at MSG, and I am a big Killer Khan (and American Dream) mark too. Muraco/Martel is a consummate heel vs. a prettyboy babyface (that did not irk me) dream match. KKM probably brought out the best in Backlund. Here's how it played out: WWF @ New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden - June 8, 1981 (near capacity)Televised on the MSG Network and USA Network - featured Vince McMahon on commentary; included McMahon conducting a ringside interview with Andre the Giant regarding Killer Khan and Andre's broken ankle:Larry Sharpe pinned Rick McGraw at 9:06 after falling on top when both men collided with a double shoulderblockCurt Hennig pinned Johnny Rodz at 9:45 with a running forearm smash followed by an elbow drop (Hennig's MSG debut)Don Muraco (w/ the Grand Wizard) defeated Rick Martel via count-out at 10:27 after crotching Martel on the top rope (Muraco's MSG debut)SD Jones pinned Frank Savage at 6:17 with a swinging neckbreakerDusty Rhodes defeated Killer Khan via disqualification at 11:45 when Khan kept attacking Rhodes against the ropes for longer than the referee's 5-count; prior to the bout, Khan was escorted to the ring by Freddie BlassieTony Garea pinned Man Mountain Cannon (King Kong Bundy) at 6:23 with a powerslam; prior to the bout, Howard Finkel introduced Andre the Giant, who came ringside on crutches and was interviewed by Vince McMahon and remained ringside for this and the next match where McMahon continued to interview himWWF World Champion Bob Backlund (w/ Arnold Skaaland) pinned Angelo Mosca at 10:31 with a crossbody when guest referee Pat Patterson made a fast count while Mosca's foot was also on the bottom rope during the cover after Mosca had shoved Patterson moments earlier; prior to the bout, Capt. Lou Albano escorted Mosca to ringside; after the bout, Mosca attacked Patterson and kicked him out of the ringYoshiaki Yatsu & WWF Jr. Heavyweight Champion Tatsumi Fujinami defeated WWF Tag Team Champions the Moondogs in a Best 2 out of 3 falls match at 22:15, 2-0; fall #1: the champions were disqualified at 15:44 when Spot used his rope belt to choke out Fujinami; fall #2: Fujinami pinned Spot after Rex accidentally hit an elbow drop on his partner; prior to the bout, Strong Kobyashi was introduced alongside the challengers; after the bout, Fujinami announced that he was engaged and his fiancee, Miss Kayori, was escorted to the ringWWF IC Champion Pedro Morales defeated Sgt. Slaughter via disqualification at 6:53 after the challenger punched referee Dick Kroll in the face after Morales repeatedly punched the challenger; prior to the match, the Grand Wizard escorted Slaughter to the ring; after the bout, Morales and Slaughter continued to fight until Morales knocked Slaughter to the floor; moments later, Slaughter came up behind Kroll and put him in the Cobra Clutch while on the apron until Morales fought him off and stalked him backstage Brilliant.

Curt McGirt Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Fuck finishes almost straight across the board! Good old WWF. It's crazy to see how long their affiliation with USA Network has gone back, btw. Andre's crutches must've been cut-down telephone poles or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph2112 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 My buddy had USA when I was growing up and we used to watch these MSG shows on a black and white TV. I also remember going to shows in Hamburg PA and we heard that Curt Hennig was going to be there, we thought he would be good because of Apter mags. We were shocked when he was just a jobber squash guy for the likes of Swede Hanson, Mr. Saito and Superfly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
