[1985-03-31-WWF-Wrestlemania] David Sammartino vs Brutus Beefcake

[cactus]

You can't help but feel sorry for David Sammartino. He gets introduced first to little fanfare, and then the MSG crowd go bananas when Bruno is announced. The pity for David stops when you realise how dry and dull he is. The match consists of stalling, rudimental holds and a wearisome Beefcake control segment. It drags on for eleven minutes before Bruno storms the ring after Beefcake's manager interferes and the match ends in a double disqualification. Bruno fights off both, popping the crowd and making his son look like a total loser in the process.
