Greg Valentine vs Chief Jay Strongbow - WWF, Philly 7/21/79

 

This one did not disappoint as the Titan boys were correct that this is a barnburner of a revenge match. The Hammer broke the Chief's leg and he is out for vengeance. Chief does not sprint down but instead stares daggers into the eyes of Valentine, who looks really sad, but Vince tries to sell as a look of violence. Valentine tries to jump Strongbow and attack the weakened knee, but there is a metal brace on it. Strongbow repeatedly bashes Valetine's head into it. I loved that! It was a cool twist. Strongbow showed great fire and really kicked the shit out of Valentine. He busted him open with a metal mic stand. He choked him with the mic cord. He got a stool smashed him in the head and then broke off a leg and hit him with that. You really got the feeling he was pissed. Valentine tried to go back to the knee with some success, but when he tried to put on the Figure-4, Stronbow would eye gouge and chop the cut. Strongbow was relentless and Valentine was great at selling. Parv is right in that Strongbow blows at selling. He reminds me of 1998 Sting in how shitty he sells. The good thing was he was on offense for the most part. Valentine took a wicked header into the guard rail. Valentine tries to bail, but Strongbow keeps catching him and bashing him into the knee brace. In the ultimate choke, the Chief actually loses by countout when they both knock heads sending both to the outside with Valentine getting back in first. the crowd ate this up with the spoon. Great fire and blood make this a great watch, both wrestlers really brought it in this revenge match. ****1/4
