Classic bout with great heat as Quick Draw Rick McGraw find out the hard way why it's not a good idea to take the piss out of the Rowdy Scott. R.I.P. Rick McGraw, you're never the most decorated wrestler but a true Icon as far as I'm concerned.

  • @SNAKEEYESSAM Me too. I saw this beating and, a week later, I hear McGraw's dead. I just assumed Piper did it.

  • I can't think of another match that was halted by a referee stoppage.

  • Yeah, this turned out to be McGraw's last match sadly, as he died only a couple days after this show aired........

  • McGraw was a better wrestler then alot of the wwe stars of today, vince just wasted good wrestlers

  • I remember this match and the previous Piper's Pit which McGraw insulted Piper. Everyone thought in school he died from the beating Piper gave him. Bruno called it a form of a Pile Driver. Cool move known as the DDT. Play Boy Buddy Rose and Adrian Adonis used that move also. Jake The Snake Roberts used that move on George Wells in WM2 at Nassau Coliseum...George puked !

  • Rick McGraw died of a drug over dose of downers on November 1, 1985!

    According to his book by (Bret Hart) about pro wrestling. Rick had a one year old daughter at the time! Really sad!

    He went to high school with a friend of my brothers in Charlotte, NC 1974! He died two months after Jay Youngblood (September 2, 1985) another westler who westlered in the old NWA! Ever since then it seems these guys keep dropping dead year after year!

  • @TheMashwatcher585 The Referee has the Right to stop the match if the Wrestler is unable to continue in the bout 2nd of all. The referee has the right to stop the match if a Wrestler is off color, 3rd and final, It is the Referee's Option also to stop the match Due to Injury

  • On Donahue, Superstar Billy Graham said that McGraw died of an enlarged heart. Sad that McGraw was a journeyman most of his career.

  • I didn't notice it when I first watched the match, but did anyone else notice the irony in Bruno's comment of "Save McGraw for another day." I'm not makeing light of what happened to McGraw, obviously tragic, but still, rather ironic when you think about it.

  • @SmilingSynic I totally remember that, and I could have sworn that it was even suggested on TV that Piper was responsible. It was either there or in the magazines

  • @TheMashwatcher585 Me too,it aired on November 2,1985.

  • @criceto Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your speakers or something? I can here it just fine.
