Road to Greensboro: Part 10 Breaking the Cobra Clutch

Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood return taking on Rick (Black Bart) Harris and Pvt. Jim Nelson. Context is everything here. At this point, Slaughter's Cobra Clutch was an unbeatable hold. Nelson was Slaughter's protege and had been trained by the Sarge on how to use the clutch. Durning this run, nobody got out of the Cobra Clutch...until this match as Jay Younblood breaks the hold. Note how the announcers really play this up as a big deal too.

Please write an accurate description. Moments after cheating their way to a win, Youngblood and Steamboat, 2 on 1, menace Sgt. Slaughter who was only there to comment on a match.

Don Kernodle would jump Ricky Steamboat and rip his coat off. "Hey, Don," yelled Steamboat. "Do you know whose coat that really is?" "Wait a minute! That's...that's MY COAT!!! How did you get my coat!!!" LOL. I wonder how Steamboat came into posession of Kernodle's coat.
