Slaughter v Patterson 4/6/81
As great as Slaughter is with Sheik, he has the same perfect energy with Patterson. Sargent remains the greatest bumper of the 80s and I wish Pat held on a few more years so we had more stuff on tape. I didn't like the DQ finish with the ref. This wasn't violent enough or insane enough to add to the set with the bad finish.
