Posted November 4, 201312 yr comment_5570417 This is from Philly. This is a No DQ, and no C.O plus your opponent much leave on a stretcher. Sarge starts out with the cheap heat by going hello Baltimore. Sarge starts off and beats him down and goes to his trunks and pulls out some rope. Sarge chokes him for a bit, and Bob does a nice counter out of the choke. They play a little nice cat and mouse spots and Sarge takes a big bump to the outside. I can't stress enough of how great of a bumper he is. Sarge gets irish whipped into the guardrail on the floor. Sarge drags Bob to the outside and smashes him into the announcers table. Sarge puts Bob under the bottom rope and sling shots him, forarm smash, and a elbow drop to the throat. Bob goes after the knee and Sarge sells like he's been worked over for a while, but not in this match. I will say Sarge sold the leg big. Slaughter Cannon catches Bob. At this point Slaughter's leg is shot. Bob slingshots Sarge into the corner and captures him in the cross face chicken wing for the victory. They play up the stretcher job for comedy. I liked the match, but some things didn't add up.

Sarge getting beat up on the outside. Awesome. Bob ramming his head into Sarge's knee? Awesome. And somewhere early in the match... these two warriors who have 20-25 minute bloodbath with each other.. decided they should sell the damage and lay on the mat for 30-45 seconds after every move. Wait, what? That's not who they are. These guys keeping moving forward because they have to, because they have reputations to protect. 5 or 6 minutes of damage isn't going to keep either man down. I thought the finish was awesome... until it wasn't. Backlund slingshots Sarge into the corner, stuns him and hooks in the chickenwing. Sarge is out and put on the stretcher. Match over. Sweet ending. But sarge falls out and on to the floor and the announcer tells us the match is still on. Sarge sneaks behind and gets the Cobra clutch and Arnold smashes the world title belt on his head to break it up. And then the ref tells us Bob won anyway. Trash. No nomination.
