Great opportunity to see a prime Slaughter flex his brawling skill. Pretty much just a great back-and-forth brawl between big dudes. All kinds of great punches and whatnot.

2nd. Prove you're not a Wanz/Vader hipster and watch this shit
I love the Sheik and Patterson matches but I think this might be the best Slaughter singles match I've seen. Awesome bloody ass stomping brawl. This one has no rounds and no public warnings so I guess it's a lot easier to get into than other Euro matches. Wanz bleeds which is a rarity for Europe, and Slaugher is so great pummeling and stomping him, but Sarge's selling might be even better. We've seen the fatman rolling senton before but Slaughter makes it look awesome. There's also a damn great spot where Slaughter tackles Otto's legs through the ropes and beats the fuck out of him on the ground. Sarge's selling during the final minutes is so good. The folks at the Ice Skating Hall are freaking out of course. Really check this out

Third
This is pretty great stuff on the whole. I would still put it a notch below the Patterson match myself, but that isn't really an insult in any way, shape, or form. A great brawl with some white hot moments and some top shelf selling. People should make time to watch this.

From my Slaughter deep dive
This was one of the most shocked I've ever been watching a match. If we only had this one match of Sgt Slaughter, we'd be able to tell he was an all time great. In terms of a one man show, this ranks up there with anything. That's not to completely dismiss Wanz. He brings some positives. Namely he is CRAZY over with his crowd. But he's not gonna take a bunch of bumps or do a bunch of moves or work holds in an interesting way and he's not a super emotive seller. He's a real punch/kick wrestler. And luckily Slaughter is one of the all time bumpers & sellers. Slaughter takes like 8 completely insane bumps in this match. His selling is incredible. LIke we need to start talking about Slaughter. as one of the best 10 sellers of all time. Offensively Slaughter just annihilates Wanz with fantastic looking punches. Wanz isn't a real bump machine so we don't get a lot of the killer offense you'd normally see in a Slaughter match. Wanz isn't gonna take a tombstone and I don't blame him. So we get a lot of great looking punches, stomps, knees to the cut, falling knees, the great Slaughter clothesline, he nails a footstomp, comes off the top rope. That sort of thing. He can't do his backbreakers & piledrivers so he figures out other stuff to keep things interesting and moving. This isn't the very best Slaughter match, but honestly if I had to convince a skeptic that he was an all time great, I might pick this fucking marathon with Otto freaking Wan
