9. Hercules (w/ Bobby Heenan) vs Jim Parks - Hercules wins with the full nelson and then defies anyone to get out of the hold, specifically Billy Jack Haynes.  Haynes comes out, Hercules clotheslines him from behind and puts him in the full nelson.  Just as it looks as though he may escape, Heenan kicks him in the stomach.
