Posted June 11, 200817 yr comment_5432156 #1 Contender Tournament for the NWA World Heavyweight Title – Quarterfinals: Brad Armstrong vs. Jake “The Snake: Roberts (3/17/84) This is a rare champ vs. champ match on TV and Flair is on commentary after shaking both men’s hands before the match. Jake’s ribs are taped up and have been for the last week due to Ronnie Garvin’s hard punches. The match has a slow start with Jake working on Brad’s left foot but Armstrong would get back up fighting back just to get kicked in the face by Jake who would resume control. Jake pounds on Brad for a while before he would make a fiery comeback. Armstrong would get caught though with the high kneelift before Jake would go back to work on Brad. Jake would miss a running splash in the corner hurting his ribs and Brad would come back with a Russian legsweep to get the win. This was a very good TV match and a low-end nomination.
