March 27, 201610 yr comment_5735671 Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Title: Black Bart © vs. "Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin (9/2/86)Bart starts off beating on Garvin which fired Garvin up so he started throwing bombs but Bart returned the fire and this is a slugfest early. Bart though then starts working over Garvin's left hand furiously until Garvin takes Bart down on the mat which was smart then started clubbing him. The match then turns into a back and forth battle on the mat with both men trying to stretch the other but Garvin is king of stretching and he just wrenches away on Bart's leg. Bart though gets it back to a slugfest again and it's really getting good as it's a total war of attrition. Bart would eventually miss the Texas Compactor and Garvin popped up then KOed Bart to win the title. Garvin celebrates after the match until the Russians run out to attack him where they triple up on him with Nikita hitting the Russian Sickle off the top rope. Magnun and the Jayhawks made the save as the Russians went to Cornette and then said they would destroy Garvin and everyone else. Great angle after the match and the match itself was very very good. This is a fairly easy nomination.
