Donnie watches WWWWF 1979

[BigVanDonnie]

All the house shows files left corrupted, but we got this badboy on YouTube and it makes up for it.

Hulk Hogan w/Classy Freddie Blassie vs Ted DiBiase (19/12/79)
INSANE to see this happen given well, everything, but goddamn i love this timeline. Hogan uses the strength brother to keep DiBiase on the backooft, so Ted runs at him and hits a series of armdrags in the wildest fucking thing. Hogan clubs him in the back of the head to send him to the floor and Ted is busted wide open!!! Hogan finally get a proper control seg and it's pretty fun as he makes a fun bully. Hits dat legdrop and it's the best it's looked and Ted dying off it helps a ton. Hogan kills him with a sleeper for a while and Ted's selling is awesome. His attempted comebacks are great and the real one blows the roof off the joint. He gets too crazy and misses a spear and hits the post and he's dead. Hogan beats him with a Bearhug.
**3/4
