Hmm, apparently George Steele turned face in May of 1985 and had several matches before this show we're watching now. So there's your answer

Man, it was great seeing Savage's flying elbow again. I loved Savage fighting with the crowd. You don't see too many heels do that anymore (probably because they can't).
If the WWE had MSG play these classics every Monday during Raw, I'd never watch the current WWE again. Great stuff.

You think Ricky Steamboat is related to that guy from the early 90's that dressed up like a dragon? They look the same. must be a conicidence. You have him in your avatar. But I dont think thats the guy fightin Valentine. Steamboat wouldnt make himself look like an ass by dressing up like that.
