7. Special Challenge Match: Best 2 of 3 Falls: 'Nature Boy' Buddy Rogers def. Bruno Sammartino 2-0
In the first fall, the two test each other out but soon lay into each other with their respective heavy artillery. Rogers is quick to take shortcuts on the floor and drives Bruno’s knee into the security railing. Rogers locks in the Figure Four Grapevine to take the first fall.

The second fall starts out with Bruno having trouble even standing up. Rogers is quick to take advantage and repeatedly tries to lock in his finisher. After wearing Bruno down, Rogers again locks in the Figure Four Grapevine to take the fall and the match.

-Afterwards, Rogers grabs the house mike and gloats over his victory as Bruno hobbles back to the locker room. Rogers says you’re looking at the Georgia champion right here and to a nicer guy, it couldn’t happen to.

8. In the Georgia tag title tourney final, #3 The Blackjacks def. #1 Road Warriors in controversial fashion to win the Georgia tag titles. Animal saves Hawk from a pinfall and as the ref is escorting Animal back to his corner, Blackjack Mulligan blasts Hawk with a steel chair. This allows Blackjack Lanza to lock on the Black Gloved Claw for the win and the titles.

-Before the show started, ‘Russian Bear’ Ivan Koloff comes out with the Georgia tag title match contract for July 4th’s show at Fort Benning.

Fall #2 started but in a controversial referee decision, the match was stopped because Valentine was bleeding profusely. The referee awarded the fall and the match to the new Georgia champ, Mil Mascaras
