Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 7/10

Match Storyline: 6/10

Crowd Participation: 8/10

On Commentary: Bob Caudle & Gordon Solie 5/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 6/10

Recommend Watch: 7/10

Match Total: 39/60 - this match is good

Comments: this match is good, it is a brawl which with the competitors involved is something you come to expect from these two, from the perspective of yes they can wrestle, but they can also batter their opponents; they will give you everything, every time so in this match they are like rams butting heads.  Solie says the NWA United States Championship is on the line, but later on he corrects himself [at the conclusion of this match roughly.] Now this is why in the match storyline and satisfying conclusion it only gets 6/10, because as far as I am concerned if this is the first of a legendary pay-per-view, I want every champion which is booked on the card to defend their championship, I don't mind the results, but this championship should have been on the line.

Next a cameraman points in his camera down before we move to the next camera shots [if you are on the ball you can see the moment it happens] next Caudle says foot on the ropes. [Piper] 1 his foot wasn't on the ropes they were well and truly under the rope and slipping outside of the ring and 2 this is a no disqualification match so that is irrelevant.

Next the crowd are quiet at some points in this match, but it isn't because they aren't enjoying it or invested in it, they are just intrigued or there is a weird atmosphere of being intrigued, Caudle makes reference to this on commentary as well, next the referee [Stu Schwartz] has no idea what he has signed up for in this match as he tries to treat it as a normal match, where at one point he gets in between these two competitors and eventually just falls over, can somebody teach Solie to say suplex properly please, because he even says soufflé or sue play again and next  Solie makes reference Piper being known as Hyper so that is why that name is up there.

Basic result: "Hyper" Roddy Piper picks up the W.

Briefly things to know:

* Bob Caudle & Gordon Solie: fallout of this match talking what they have just seen and on top of that they go back to Piper celebrating in the ring and then back to them to go to Barbara Clary, but for some reason we go to Tony Schiavone:.

* Tony Schiavone: interviews Ric Flair with  Mark Youngblood in this location as well to have an interview with him as well; these interview are to discuss what happened to Youngblood earlier in the night and build up to tonight's main event.

 * Barbara Clary: interviews Don Kernodle in a nutshell to his thoughts on the final two matches of this card

* Tom Miller: ring announcer introducing the next match
