WWF @ Boston, MA - Boston Garden - December 8, 1984 (16,000; sell out)
WWF Women's Tag Team Champions Velvet McIntyre & Desiree Peterson defeated Penny Mitchell & Peggy Peterson
Bobby Heenan defeated Salvatore Bellomo
Buddy Rose defeated SD Jones
Brutus Beefcake defeated Jose Luis Rivera
Big John Studd pinned Swede Hanson (sub. for Rocky Johnson)
David Sammartino (w/ Bruno Sammartino) defeated Ken Patera (w/ Bobby Heenan) via disqualification; during the bout, Sammartino and Patera tried to wrestle an Xacto knife from Capt. Lou Albano when Albano "lost it" and began cutting his forehead; in the melee, Sammartino's arm was heavily cut and he required 45 stitches
Jimmy Snuka & the Tonga Kid defeated Roddy Piper & Paul Orndorff when Orndorff was pinned
Anyone hear of what exactly happened here?

Albano was extremely drunk. That's what happened.

Strongbow: Lou, go out there and cut yourself. Come on! Do it for Bruno! He loves it!
Only explanation.

It says in the OP that Heenan was Patera's second, that can't be right, can it?

Before any of his McDonalds-related legal troubles, Patera had a WWF run in the early 80s, a heel managed by Bobby Heenan. In fact, that's the reason Heenan kept ragging Patera on commentary during his late 80s face run. Patera failed the first time around, but that's not Heenan's fault, it's Patera's fault for being a jailbird.  |

Ah, OK, I had to ask, I got confused because I was wondering why Albano was out there in the first place, and when I googled searched, the first topics all had promos with Albano cutting promos with Patera, so I thought he was his manager, not Heenan. Sorry.
So, now the next question is...why was Albano out there? Did he just wander out drunk and started gigging himself?

It was in the middle of his legal troubles, actually. Patera and Saito were working for AWA when they caused that scene and were arrested. While awaiting trial, Patera left AWA and went to the WWF (where he had previously worked in the '70s) and had his run with Heenan. He had his trial, was found guilty and went to prison afterward. |

I don't know what Graham Cawthon's source for this result is but I'm pretty sure it's complete bunk.
Edit: Superfan and former tape dealer John McAdam attended almost every Boston Garden show including the one in question and I found an old post from him declaring that he had no memory of anything like this happening.

Did he do the Mario afterwards? So those shows our on Netflix and I've watched some solely to see if they made any attempts other than him wearing a hat to cover up Albano's massive gig scars. |

Did he do the Mario afterwards? I guess this is when Lou finally found out that if you do drugs you go to hell before you die. |

Albano was extremely drunk. That's what happened. Probably. For a bad Albano drunk match here's him and Snuka www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYblZDux17MAt 6:08 He just blatantly pulls a blade out and rubs his head. |

It's possible, but that story was around before Graham started his site. Regarding the McAdam post you found elsewhere, I imagine you'll find a post from me in that same thread linking to yet another (now dead) thread that explained it better. I truly wish I could remember the details, but it's been too many years. |
