Posted June 20Jun 20 comment_6031523 RODDY PIPER vs JIMMY SNUKA (03/17/1985; WWF Philadelphia Spectrum; 00:11:08) - Piper ambushes and whips Jimmy with a belt. Even without the belt, he is attacking and choking Snuka. Piper mocks Snuka with his I Love You signals... and to add insult to injury, jumps from the 2nd rope with a fist.to the face. Snuka fights back. Piper is down and the crowd is alive. Snuka hit an atomic drop and Piper went outside. Snuka followed and chaos ensues. Snuka slams Piper on the table. Piper hits Jimmy with the bell and a chair. Damn. Piper kicking Snuka while he’s out on the floor, Snuka blocks ramming into the ring post. Instead, Piper gets rammed into the ring post. Snuka inside punching and choking Piper. This is wild. He rams Piper into the railing. Piper wants a time out but Snuka gives him a jumping headbutt. Snuka punches Piper in the throat and follows with a 2nd rope throat punch. FUCK. Snuka got two off a sunset flip. Both guys tumble out and are counted out. They continue brawling including knocking out the ref. This was fun as hell and warrants a nomination but it wasn’t the most violent or most memorable match in the feud. I am giving it a SOLID NOMINATION but if we need to cut matches, I am actually ok cutting this.
