[1987-03-29-WWF-Wrestlemania III] Hercules vs Billy Jack Haynes

[cactus]

A basic power match, pitting the two users of the Full Nelson up against each other. Hercules cuts one of the most batshit promos ever before the match, talking about his time in Ancient Rome. The match starts with an intense stare down after which Haynes gets his shine in before he's brutally cut off by a Herc lariat. Billy Jack Haynes refuses to tap out to Hercules' Full Nelson and once he's able to lock in one of his own, Hercules launches himself with Haynes still on his back out of the ring. The result of this one is a double countout after they refuse to get back into the ring. Hercules busts open and lays out Haynes with a chain shot. I'm not going to hate on the non-finish, as this made Hercules look like a monster and it protected the babyface from having to tap out from the Full Nelson. Decent enough.
