This is a classic pro wrestling job. Breaks is the champion and puts Saint over really strong here to set up their title match a few months later. Saint didn't have his signature crazy reversals at this point (or abstained from doing them here) and is a much more restrained serious babyface, while Breaks is just all over the place with his exaggerated selling and mannerisms. Much of the match was Breaks working over Saint with painful clinical holds and nasty little attacks to set up an explosive comeback from Saint. My favourite thing about Breaks is that he is constantly increasing the pressure, he will get a hold, and then move from there working towards a and elbow popping goal. When Saint gets a pin on him to win the first falls Breaks starts attacking his face in really nasty ways, so Saint comes back furious busting his nose and bloodying Breaks. Walton points out Breaks had his nose broken so many times that there is no bone left but its still really painful. Breaks gets mad and looks to finish the match quickly but Saint one ups him and steals a pin in the blink of an eye. This is classic efficient pro wrestling executed to perfection with some really cool technical prowres on display.
