Great match, which I somehow haven't watched before. I loved Sarge vs Patterson but think this is superior, with Slaughter's blood working better as a babyface. The battle over the boot at the end was classic. I did just try banging my shoe on the counter to see if it hurt more when I hit myself in the head with it but there was no difference Today's re-watch Man what a brawl. Sheik is a prototype for the wrestler who can have great matches with great wrestlers and Sarge shows himself to be an all-timer here. It has an epic main event feel. The blood and props help with the atmosphere but it is held together with classic psychology as well as great chemistry between these two. If I had watched this at a certain point it could have topped my list but there is so much competition for that spot.

I had it in my head that maybe I ranked this too high (26) last time around. Nope! This is just about perfect. Sarge’s bumps, selling, and hope spots are out of this world. Definitely one to check out again if you haven’t seen it in a while.

I voted this #41 this year.
Another classic match that deserves all the praise it gets. Hits that sweet spot of delivering the visceral thrills of a bloody brawl while always just being super fun.
