Posted June 4, 200817 yr comment_5431991 DiBiase comes out and says that he wants a loser leaves match with Tommy Rich (12/17/83) The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) vs. Bob Hunt & Tommy Vito (12/17/83) Destruction. Precious Paul brings out his surprise for Buzz Sawyer in The Sheik. Farhat hasn’t been here in years. Ted DiBiase vs. Roger Bond (12/17/83) Squash. DiBiase would then attack both Chick Donovan & Johnny Rich during their match and especially beat on Rich sending a message to his cousin Tommy who would come out to make the save. “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. Snake Brown (12/17/83) Two of my favorites here but Snake had zero chance. Sawyer then cuts a promo on the Sheik after the match. National TV Title: Jake “The Snake” Roberts © vs. “Hands of Stone” Ronnie Garvin (12/17/83) This is a 60:00 match as Garvin had asked for since he was part of 2 draws in the last 3 weeks. Garvin really works on Jake’s left arm to start the match but Jake would counter by working on Garvin’s left leg. This was good body part action here but Garvin would try to pick up the pace until Jake went back to work on his left leg. Jake was relentless working on the knee here but Garvin would reverse Jake’s leg bar into a toehold of his own before both men got to their feet with Garvin peppering him with punches. Garvin would hit his grounded crucifix for a nearfall and kept up the pressure until Ellering would distract Garvin enough so Jake could attack. Jake would get a couple of nearfalls but Garvin would go for a sunset flip before Jake would punch him in the mouth to break that up and went back to work on Garvin’s ribs. Garvin would start fighting back with punches in bunches until Ellering would pull Garvin’s leg from under him letting Jake get back control. The finished was botched bad here as Jake bodyslammed Garvin and Ellering was supposed to hold his foot but didn’t so they repeated the spot again and this time Ellering held it down but not for long and Scrappy McGowan made a 5 count. Weird finish but this was their best match of the series so far and with the others being on the nomination block, this also goes on. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) vs. John Gregory & Mike Starbuck (12/17/83) Squash. Bugsy McGraw vs. Snake Brown (12/17/83) Squash. Roadies would attack Bugsy after the match but Stan Hansen would make the save. Les Thornton vs. Pat Rose (12/17/83) Good spotlight match for Thornton. Ellering & Ole then get into it at the announce desk. Next is a Steamboat/Youngblood match from Mid-Atlantic. Stan “The Lariat” Hansen & Bugsy McGraw vs. Snake Brown & Pat Rose (12/24/83) Squash. National TV Title: Jake “The Snake” Roberts © vs. Roger Bond (12/24/83) Squash. Buzz Sawyer slaughters some jobber then beats on other ones until The Sheik shows up for a standoff. (12/24/83) Then there is a funny PWI Press Conference with King Kong Bundy. The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) then squash some jobbers. (12/24/83) Brett & “Mad Dog” Buzz Sawyer vs. “Golden Boy” Chick Donovan & Mike Starbuck (12/31/83) The Sawyer’s won the National tag titles from the Roadies and would soon lose them because Buzz would get fired. Ted DiBiase vs. Randy Barber (12/31/83) Squash. “Wildfire” Tommy Rich vs. Roger Bond (12/31/83) Rich is wrestling his last TV match due to losing his loser leaves match with DiBiase on 12/25/83 at the Omni. DiBiase comes out wanting Rich to leave but Ole & Freddie Miller run him off. Rich cuts a promo after the match expressing his apologies for losing to the fans. Precious Paul comes out with a top hat and bandana as he got his hair cut by Buzz Sawyer at the Omni on 12/25/83. Ellering then talks about bringing Jos LeDuc in. Then we get clips of the Roadies beating on Stan Hansen at the Omni on 12/25/83.
