I remember this match. The Piper-Snuka feud that wound up as Piper-Orton vs. Snuka-Tonga Kid was what drew me and my little brother into wrestling. For me, this is the golden age.
I saw Snuka vs. Orton go at it in Anaheim, Ca. back in '85 in one of the crappiest rings I have ever seen. Ortom was sporting his arm cast. Snuka still did his dive off the top rope even though the rope could hardly launch him. I even have pics from the front row. It was the 2nd WWF event ever held in Anaheim. On the same card was a young/unknown Bret Hart. I miss those days.
no question about it, this wrestling match is definately classic!.though is being shown on demand on cable tv..the WWE should put all of these classic WWWF, WWF & WWE Wrestling matches from Madison Square Garden NYC, the Boston Garden & the Philadelphia Spectrum on dvd & stop giving us all of the mideocre wrestling videos thats being repeated over & over again!.please give us the real wrestling classics!..thank u! x0\
Nice classic match up by two entertaining wrestlers, and Mean Gene was good on the mic. He was outraged by Orton's cheating at 6:10 and even says "crap".
I can just imagine randy orton "Man!!"
