JIP. Ali and Garin is such an absurd team. Martel has taped ribs and the commentators are really putting that over. Faces control early, but Martel takes the old knee coming off the ropes and the heels go to work. This segment actually doesn't last as Dino tags in and the heels end up taking over on him, including a nice looking Euro uppercut and standing dropkick from Ali. I really liked the heels taking over with a rope of all things including an actual clothesline spot that Dino sold well. Also really dug Ali busting out a sick headbutt. Dino hits a big vertical suplex which Ali awkwardly undersells leading to a weird hot tag, but Martel is great selling his ribs as he goes on offense and Garvin starts throwing punches right to his ribs to take over. Nice sunset flip near fall for Martel and Garvin hits a big body slam and goes up top only to get caught by Bravo. He crotches himself and Martel scores the desperation pin while still selling the ribs. This was somewhat strange in terms of how it was put together but still a good match. Post-match Creatchman hands Ali his cane and they fucking kill Martel's back with it.

They used the end of this match to set up Martel losing the title to Hansen in some video spots ovr the next few weeks, including showing the both the 12/25/85 and the 12/29/85 Hansen-Martel matches on their tv, with the finger pointing directly at Ali and Garvin for doing the initial damage to Martel's back. There is a segment attached to this bout on the disc I watched (probably this one) showing Martel being examined in the dressing room after the match by the doctor with Bravo looking on.
