Don: wow the fans do not like either team
Todd: I know it's great. We hardly ever get to see a heel vs heel match.
Don: I must agree there.
In this match we saw a massive amount of cheating. At one point Shiek hid behind the referee and almost made Cade punch the ref in the face which would have been a DQ. lance Cade hit a spinebuster on iron Shiek which caused Volkoff to come in and break up the count. Murdoch came in to brawl with Volkoff and they accidentally knocked the referee out. Shiek took advantage of the confusion to slap on the camel clutch. Just as Cade was about to tap out, Murdoch got past Nikolai and hit Shiek in the back of the head with a chair. Lance Cade rolled over on Shiek as the referee got up and counted 1...2... Just as Volkoff was gonna break up the count, Murdoch laid him out with a boot to the face...3. The crowd didn't know how to respond.
Winners and 1/2 of the challengers for the tag titles: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.
Don: despite all the cheating, that was a great match.
Todd: yes it was. I hope these two meet again.
Match 4: Buddy Rogers vs Georgeous George.
