Very fun match that had some great stuff in it. The crowd is totally batshit throughout the entire match. I think this is Andre's return match as it was pimped that way in the interviews on this disc. Andre and JYD clean house to start with Andre viciously chopping Studd and Andre is rubbing his head and pointing at Studd and Patera in anger as they stall on the floor. He was referencing the angle where the cut his hair. The next several minutes were really fun with Andre manhandling both heels aggressively. He awesomely and violently choked Patera with his singlet. JYD torpedoed him into both Studd and Patera who were in the their corner which is a spot I love. JYD eventually took the FIP and role and did a pretty good job. Patera got a good near fall off of a nice suplex. JYD played FIP on the floor a little bit after getting his head smashed into a ring post. JYD never made the tag but Andre got fed up and tried to come in the take out the heels. Instead, in a great spot, Studd and Patera both went after Andre and their was a really awesome three way slugfest in Andre's corner. Andre eventually won the battle and he and JYD brawled with Studd and Patera in the ring. Heenan climbed to the top rope but Andre caught him and threw him onto both Studd and Patera. For some reason Andre got disqualified but I don't know why which made this match have a disappointing finish. I read that he got disqualified in a later tag by using scissors but I couldn't tell if he had anything in his hand or not. That would be cool if that was the reason for the finish though. Anyways, Andre tossed Heenan to the floor which Heenan bumped greatly for. Then Andre and JYD got rid of Studd and Patera. Andre got on the mic and yelled some gibberish at the heels but it was still awesome. The way he threw the microphone down was tremendous. This match was a hell of a blast and ended up being very good at times.

This is pretty marginal, but I'm not going to pretend like I didn't enjoy it a lot. The crowd was pretty batshit here, which helped, but this was a well structured match that was a lot better in practice than it looked to be on paper. Andre was really fun in this as his mannerisms were really great and the rough housing choke spots were really entertaining. Studd was nothing special, but Patera looked fine and JYD was surprisingly good as a FIP. This lacked the finish you would want to make this a more serious pick, but other people should watch it.

ANDRE THE GIANT & JUNKYARD DOG vs BIG JOHN STUDD & KEN PATERA (01/05/1985; WWF Boston Garden; 00:20:24)
-    Really fin spots early on with Patera playing pinball. First, Andre noggin knocks Patera and Studd together. Then he headbutts Patera with JYD’s head. Awesome. Heenan is playing his role running in randomly. Andre motions to Studd… I have had enough playing with Patera… get in the ring. I love JYD using his head as a weapon when Andre whipped Stuff into the corner. This was so much fun then Andre went all resthold. It was a nerve hold at first then think of Cena’s weakest STF face hook. It was that but standing up. Andre and JYD abusing Patera is awesome but Dog has the worst clothesline of any main eventer… um ever. Dog is in trouble for a long time. Andre has enough of the heels and just goes in and attacks. All 4 men go at it. Andre throws Heenan into the heels. Andre and Dog DQed. This was way too long and some parts were really bad. A lot of it was fun though.
