Wonderfully done. This was the first match I saw that actually made me queasy. Still does on the old videotape.
I wholeheartedly agree that the sounds of their screaming helped make the match, but you left out one lasting memory of mine...
After the match is over, and TA has won and left Blanchard bloodied, Blanchard lies alone in the ring STILL SCREAMING! He's still selling that grotesque face-carving/stake-stabbing/whatever, and by Gotch that DAMN well stuck with me...

| #2 Posted on 30.4.02 1714.45 Reposted on: 30.4.09 1715.24 | The thing that amazed me about this match is that, in the old Mid-Atlantic area, fans years later would still chant "I Quit" at Blanchard.
Of course, the ironic thing is that Blanchard screamed "YES!" over and over once Magnum jabbed the wooden piece of chair into Tully's forehead, not "I Quit." | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
