Sorry for this taking so long. I have been super busy. Hopefully you all enjoy this one as I think it could be one of the best shows yet. Also, starting to get burnt out so expect some switches to the roster to keep me interested.

David Samartino vs Larry Zybyszko

 

 

 

Zybyszko seems a lot more focused since the last time these two faced off. They go to do a test of strength but Zybyszko is dominated by Samartino. Samartino controls most of this until he is coming off the ropes and The Spoiler trips him.

 

 

Zybyszko now is once again toying with Samartino as he is beating him into the mat making fun of him.

Bryan St. John comes out and gets some offense on The Spoiler but then the Spoiler applies the claw!

 

 

All of a sudden a man comes out of the crowd! Who is this man!? It's Bruno Samartino!!

 

 

The Omni erupts and the roof is blown off and Bruno is met by the Spoiler who tries to put the claw on him but Bruno blocks it! Kicks the Spoiler in the stomach... and throws him out of the ring! Bruno then rips Zybyszko off of David and Zybyszko's eyes light up when he see's who is in the ring!

Zybyszko is on his knees begging him!

 

Bruno is looking around at the crowd and they're chanting "DO IT! DO IT!" Bruno picks up Zybyszko by the neck! Zybyszko is in the air and Bruno throws him over the top rope onto The Spoiler!

 

 

 

 

 

Jake Roberts vs Mr. Wrestling #2

 

This one has been heating up recently and this one gets even hotter. It's even very early on until Roberts has to start taking short cuts to wear down #2. Roberts picks up #2 and gives him an arm twist then drives his shoulder into #2. After 3 of those #2 falls back into the turnbuckle. Roberts comes towards #2 but #2 sticks a boot up which is met with Roberts face!

Son in law of Dick the Bruiser. Very solid wrestler that never got anywhere because of no personality. Had good runs in Indianapolis. Him and Garvin has similar body types. Obvious a distraction. Sorry you didn't know who it was. I guess not everyone cared to know every wrestler from every promotion.
