“Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. Brad Armstrong (1/8/83)

 

Sawyer is wearing headgear to keep everyone from seeing him bald. Buzz throws some brutal forearms here but Brad keeps the advantage and looking great as he was starting to come into his own at this time of his career. Ole Anderson becomes a distraction letting Buzz regain the advantage and he just pounds Brad. Armstrong comes back though and goes for Buzz’s helmet but Ole runs in for the DQ until Stan Hansen runs him off. Fun stuff.
