Elimination Match: Porkchop Cash, Les Freeman, & Mr. Olympia vs. Arn Anderson, Bill Ash, & Jimmy Golden (1/12/85)

 

This is actually structured like a Torneo Cibernetico which is interesting. This is a very fun all-action match with everyone looking good. Freeman goes out first naturally and we get a break where we missed Porkchop Cash's elimination leaving Olympia against all 3 heels. Olympia took out Ash and then Arn eliminated himself by leaving the ring thus leaving Olympia & Golden. Arn comes back out though and trips up Olympia but he fights back until Idol shows up with Minerva sending the heels running. Olympia would then hit a cross body block off the top rope to get the win. Very fun studio match here and I'm throwing this up as a low-end pick.

They did this match for t.v to promote a 14 man elimination match at the arena. This was a strong workrate match with a fun Arn/Olympia story weaved in. I loved the way Olympia pinned Ash. The same way Ash pinned Cash with the feet on the ropes. Throughout the match Arn was avoiding Olympia. Finally Olympia is all by himself against the 3 heels. Olympia pins Ash and in the rules of the match gets to pick his opponent he chooses Arn. In a chicken shit move that even surprised me. Arn takes the count out loss. So now we have Olympia vs. Golden that is just a real hot finish. A solid nomination.
