[1975-06-16-WWWF-MSG, NY] Bruno Sammartino vs Waldo Von Erich

[cactus]

This is very short, only just two minutes long. Waldo Von Erich attacks the arm of Bruno with a foreign object. Bruno milks the injury in the corner. The crowd throws trash in the ring. Bruno manages to deliver a one-armed beating on the evil Nazi, looking like a total badass in the process. Bruno wins with a knee lift. The crowd explodes with joy. This was fine for what it was. It may be short, and the initial beating looked hokey, but the pop Bruno gets when he fires back and gets the pin makes it all worth it.

 

★★½
