Bob Backlund vs Greg Valentine, WWWF 3/26/1979
This isn’t as epic as the 60-minute draw the month before but that is pretty faint criticism. It stands on its own as a great match. There was a lot of leg-work and when Backlund had the figure four on Valentine for an extended period it got great reactions. Valentine got to the ropes and as the referee was trying to break it up Valentine reversed into a single-leg Boston Crab. They then stood and exchanged strikes. Backlund gives him the atomic drop for the pinfall.
