[1985-11-07-WWF-The Wrestling Classic] Randy Savage vs Junkyard Dog

[cactus]

I never understood the logic of having babyface JYD get a bye into the finals, while the dastardly heel has to wrestle four times. Jesse Ventura uses this as fuel to go after JYD on commentary and post-match, but it still doesn't make JYD look like a conquering hero. Savage tries to salvage something out of JYD, but he's no miracle worker. Savage stalls around to kill time and beats down JYD on the outside. In an anti-climatic finish, JYD wins the tournament after throwing Savage over the top rope and getting the count out win.
