I saw this as an honourable mention for MOTY in the WON awards and had to watch it as a part of my Muraco project and HOLY SHIT DUDES! This is hatred. Snuka attacks wit the belt, beats the shit out of Muraco, spits on him and kills him while Muraco tries to crawl away. Muraco just gets beat and Snuka doesn't stop. He hits a vicious headbutt off the second, which Muraco sells and falls to the floor. There he picks up a mic and nails Snuka, destroys him with a chair and busts him open and kills him in the ring. Crowd is FUCKING UNREAL. Snuka's comeback comes from reversing an Irish whip and Muraco does the Flair flip and falls to the floor, where Snuka busts him open with the belt. Snuka kills him, and Muraco does some Terry Funk selling and then Snuka gets an amazing nerafall. The finish is a great way to do a DQ and it doesn't stop there. Snuka beats up two refs trying to keep punching Muraco, before Muraco runs away. Crowd is livid. This is on my next GME list! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLbeK2mSV-w

2nd
Co-sign all of the above. The Terry Funk comparision is apt in that the match was in that sweet spot between wacky bumps and total conviction. I need to seek out more Don Muraco as I realised I've been conflating him with Iron Mike Sharpe for the past few decades. Also, a ******1/4 ref bump.

3rd. Very cool match. Crowd heat is wild for this.

4th.
I know Grimmas has been advocating heavily for Muraco lately and I’ve definitely not gone on a deep dive yet but this rules. This is exactly the type of match I’d throw on a list.
