Good matchup,but I don't like valentine/beefcake taking the face role. There shoulda been much more rulebreaking and much more manager interference. Luscious John was virtually non existant. I h8 when heels fight and 1 MUST b the good guy. Let them b who the he'll they r.
I think the WWF had some 8 tagteam tournaments around this time at house shows. Plenty of heel vs heel and face vs face matches. Id love to get ahold of some of those matches
sheik n volkoff would be hated more because of their nationalities. this country breeds the most racist,most bigotry, and the unfairest. but aint nothin more beautiful than watchin bad guys go at it in the wwf/wwe. especially during the 80's
Heel vrs Heel, Cant be sure if it was this match ... but I had a WWF magazine that reviewed this match and was titled " Cheers instead of Jeers for Greg & Brutus " ... I cant beleive I'm finally watching this 23 or so years later !! GO YOUTUBE !! and thanks for posting :-)
@FranklyMisterShankly Valentine and Beefcakes were still heels here. But this was a rare heel vs. heel match and Valentine and Beefcake were considered the lesser of two evils, which is why they got the cheers in this match. I guess the fans thinking were "They may be assholes, but atleast their American." This was in the mid 80s during the cold war and the days of the Iotoyla. Their was no way anybdoy was going to cheer the Sheik and Volkoff.
Great matchup here

Wow, The Iron Sheik threw a dropkick. I think this is the only time I've seen that

Only thing I don't like about this match is the fact that you can tell Gorilla broadcasted this after the fact, instead of live from the arena.
Also, where is Freddie Blassie?
How come, whenever there's a heel vs. heel match, only ONE team's manager is in attendance? lol

@TrueTalkTV Reason why is because it's a dark match and this was never shown on TV, so there wouldn't be any commentary from Jesse & Vince.

Valentine and Beefcake were onetime faces as a tag team? Or is this a rare heel versus heel?

Never seen this one. Obviously, it took place before WM2. I wonder if there were any rematches.
