Posted June 7Jun 7 comment_6030900 DON MURACO vs JIMMY SNUKA (07/30/1983; WWF MSG; New York, NY; 00:21:48) - Deep serious interviews before the match. Superfly abusing Don early on. Muraco is selling Snuka’s offense like he’s been electrocuted. No offense for Don the first 5 minutes. This crowd is putty in Snuka’s hands. A bad clothesline turns the tide. Muraqco dumps Jimmy outside to the floor. Piledriver on the concrete floor but couldn’t really see at the camera angle. Snuka has his head smashed on the table and is bleeding. Muraco brings Jimmy back in with a back suplex. Asia spike to the forehead! Russian leg sweep gets two. Kick to the head and he’s biting him. I love violence and guys attacking bloody foreheads. It’s a defect. Snuka fighting back. Double jumping knee lift. The crowd is at a fever pitch. 2nd rope headbutt to a huge pop. Muraco is bleeding and Snuka executes a beautiful piledriver that makes the Garden shake. This is hitting all the right peaks. Muraco hits an illegal blow to buy some time. He gets up and starts slapping Snuka and kicking him. Superfly is hulking up. The crowd is with him. Snuka is so fucking over. Superfly is choking Muraco and won’t stop so the ref calls for the bell. Wrestlers had to restrain them all the way back to the dressing room. EASY NOMINATION. Best match I have seen between the two.
June 7Jun 7 comment_6030906 Crowd is hot and Snuka steamrolls Murac9 in te early going. The match turns in Muraco's favor after piledriving Snuka on the floor and Snuka is busted open. Muraco then goes on a dickishly measured offensive flurry and Snuka makes a brief comeback starting with great jumping double knee strike to Muraco's face. Crowd is molten for Snuka. Muraco starts bleeding, at one point he gets cocky just slapping Snuka in the face, Snika starts getting fired up, it's all great. And the ending double disqualification is earned with the way Snuka and Muraco were going at it, causing the wrestlers from the back to come out to try to separate them (including an Invaders sighting!). The video is a bit dark so some of the details like the blood don't pop out as much, but this is definitely a nomination.
