Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 Hillbilly Jim, Little Beaver, & Haiti Kid beat King Kong Bundy, Lord Littlebrook, & Little Tokyo (3:25) via DQ. Holy hell...I've poped in my Mania III tape before JUST for this. It's the damndest thing of all time watching Bundy slam Little Beaver, THEN he drops the elbow and Little Beaver's little feet shoot up in the air. That's one of the greatest things of all time...right up there with Jarrett nailing Moolah with the guitar.

I still mark for the top rope clothesline from Barbarian to Tito Santana at Wrestlemania 6. It was like a top rope widowmaker..
