JJ Dillon said that Eddie Graham called Vince McMahon Sr. and arranged this one time match for him to fulfill his dream of wrestling in MSG. Oh and that was a very fast count by that ref!

@chrisninety1 Super fast count.

Hahaha! Dillon fights like a girl!

How did Dillon get a title shot? I thought he was a jobber.

[chrisninety1]

How quick was that count?

This was an interesting match. I had never seen J.J. wrestle in any federation, but I had merely heard that he used to wrestle. Except for a few brief moments, he got his clock cleaned by Mr. Santana.

Never knew JJ Wrestled in the WWF & in 84 no less. JJ was a Manager/Wrestler in Florida & musta had a cup of coffee in New York because He was working for Crocket by the Summer of 84 Managing Ron Bass & Black Bart

I heard Dillon was supposed to whip Chico and win the belt here, but Hogan ordered McMahon to squash it and stop JJMania before it got off the ground. And I love Patterson referring to JJ as "well conditioned"--you could've shown a movie on that ass of his

So, when did JJ go to Crockett? I thought he was in Charllote in 1984.

This is so odd.
