Sgt. Slaughter vs. Iron Sheik (Bootcamp Match) (Capital Centre 6/9/84) (YOUTUBE)

-          Sarge uses his crop rider and then tears Sheik’s headwear to shreds and throws it to people on the outside. Sheik sent outside and he rams Sheik on the table and gives him a backbreaker. Inside, he cokes Sheik with his stick. Sheik rakes the eyes and loads up the boot. Sarge blocks the big boot but Sheik rakes the eyes. Sarge blocks the big boot again but Sheik rakes the eyes again. Sarge is in the corner so he just thrusts Sheik right in the throat. Then he clotheslines Sheik on the top rope. This is actually worked completely different than the other boot camp match so far. More methodical, more focused on punishment. It absolutely does not compare to the #1 match of all time but still awesome in its own right. Sarge loads up his boot and gets Sheik in the gut for a one count. HE loads it up again and goes to the top. He launches… he misses. The crowd is rumbling. Sheik loads up his boot. He busts Sarge open finally and starts biting. They show a lady in the crowd who is so concerned. They start throwing punches and Sarge gets a kick in the gut and the entire building is rumbling. Sarge block s the loaded boot again but Sheik gets a suplex for two. Sarge nails Sheik with his loaded boot and now Sheik is busted open. Sheik turns the tide with a boot to the gut again. Sarge is rammed into the ring post. This is late inn the match for that, It gets several two counts. Two back breakers. Two near falls. Sarge loading up for the cannon but Sheik gets the low blow and knocks out the ref. Sheik takes off his boot. As Sheik raises his boot, Sarge nails him with a cannon. Sarge grabs Sheik’s boot, wack across the face, and gets the three count. A huge USA chant breaks out. This was violent and different enough form the #1 boot camp match that it deserves to be on the set. SLAM DUNK NOMINATION.

 

 

EXPOSER: Sarge cut a promo saying he will leave wrestling in the DC area forever if he doesn't make Sheik bleed and beat him in the Bootcamp match tonight. Very, very good bloodbath. Both guys bled some buckets and sold the exhaustion and brutality very well. Sheik used his loaded boot to his advantage and both guys also used the ring posts on various occasions. Sheik gave Sarge a couple of low blows which really got the crowd going. The finish was really good with Sheik attacking referee Dick Worley then removing one of his boots and loaded it. Sarge ducked the boot shot and used the boot himself to whack Sheik really stiffly with. Sarge won the match and Private Terry Daniels joined him in celebration after the match. This match was really good but didn't have any significant spots that stood out.
