Greg Valentine vs Ron Garvin (9/30/89 MSG)

Ron Garvin vs. Greg Valentine (MSG 9/30/89) #7
Great start as Garvin clotheslines Hammer with his towel and straight punches him in the face until Hammer retreats. Garvin wants to use Greg’s face as a punching bag so Hammer keeps retreating. They start the chop battle and one of them caught Greg on the mouth. Damn. Shit, Ron catches him in the corner and multiple hard open palm slaps on the face, headbutt, punches to the face. Damn, Garvin is taken out all of his hatred on Greg’s face. Now Hammer is using Garvin as his own personal punching dummy. Shit. Hard forearms to the face, to the chest. Oh hell, lets do another battle. Now Hammer is begging off. Garvin says “feel this slap”. On the ground, they decide to actually wrestle and a Garvin bridge becomes a Hammer head scissor leading to a Garvin pin. Beautiful. Then they proceed to beat the shit out of each other. Hammer hooks in a chin lock and then a headlock into a sleeper. He wants Garvin to fade. Hammer decides now that Garvin is fading, let me tag his face again. He squares away but Garvin fights back and Hammer goes down. Outside, Garvin chases Hammer and inside, he is caught and hooked in a Garvin sleeper. Hammer is out so Garvin does the stomp. Sharpshooter attempt into a Hammer punch to the face for a counter. Garvin fights only to receive a shin breaker. Heartbreaker attempt countered by a punch to the face. Of course, that’s the counter. Garvin tossed out and upside down on the rail. Inside he and Hammer trade big move and pin attempts. Another slugfest. Sunset flip countered by Hammer holding the ropes and getting the three count. Of course, this is an EASY NOMINATION. Right now, my rank of the three so far is 12/88, 1/89 and then this one.
