WWF Intercontinental Champion Greg Valentine vs. Tito Santana - WWF, MSG 10/22/84

 

I have watched the 6/16 MSG and I liked it so much that I want to sleep on it and watch it again before i give my final thought because I thought it was a total barnburner. The August MSG match was not up by I have watched it previously and ready my review from years ago (my how times flies!) it sounds like it was a strong angle based match. Valentine thought he had won the title (he had the same problems against Backlund, you think he'd would learn :P ) only to have Santana upend him. He was a sore loser so he broke Tito's leg with the figure-4. Then up in Canada about a month later, Tito being a fighting champion defended against The Hammer, who relentlessly attacked the knee. Tito was able to hit the Flying Burrito, but Valentine's foot was under the ropes and he thought he had successfully defended his title. Only to have Valentine knee him from behind and win the match by hooking the injured leg. Here we are in October with Tito getting a hero's welcome from the MSG faithful!

Tito was red fucking hot to start as expected. Valentine tried wildly swinging the belt, but to no avail as Tito just kept firing away at his face. Then Hammer tried to match him blow for blow and Santana forearmed him so hard he was sent reeling through the ropes all the way across the ring. When The Hammer did get control, he was nasty about with fishhooks and eyerakes, but Tito was just a man possessed in this match. Valentine got a big atomic drop and was looking to attack that injured leg, but Tito fought him off. The match had a wild finish with them brawling on the outside. Valentine missed with chair bouncing it off the apron. He returned to the ring and Santana did not miss with a big chair shot. Santana repeatedly punched the open wound only to have the ref finally disqualify him. Santana got a modicum of revenge, but is thirsty for more. This was a great angle-based match to set up the next MSG match. It was super heated and short. It should be short. They were beating the piss out of each other and no reason for this to last long. Cant wait for the next one. ***1/2
