(Ron Garvin and Rick Steamboat won the Tag Team Titles.)

We have NEW Tag Team Champions to kick off RumbleClash '84!

Garvin has grabbed the titles from the timekeeper's table and is celebrating around ringside with both of them while Steamboat has his hand raised in the middle of the ring by the referee.

Arn Anderson is on his way out to break up the party.

Anderson grabs the ring announcer's microphone.

Anderson: "Garvin while Steamboat was out here winning those nice shiny tag team titles for you, the RumbleClash committee was deciding just what they should do with us since we haven't decided which of us enters the main even first and which enters last. And they have decided upon my recommendation to let us wrestle tonight just prior to the RumbleClash match to determine when we enter the match. Oh and by the way, congratulations Rick." {Arn extends his hand to shake Steamboat's hand in the middle of the ring, and Steamboat, without hesitation, willingly accepts his handshake}

Garvin is standing at ringside holding both title belts and has gone from total jubilation to utter contempt and disgust that he has to wrestle again tonight.

Tonight here at RumbleClash '84 in Philadelphia, Road Warrior Hawk and Maxx Payne square off in an anything goes, falls count anywhere match.  Tony Atlas & Rocky Johnson take on the Wild Samoans. In a Heavyweight Title match, Champion Dusty Rhodes defends against Terry Allen. Then, just added moments ago, Arn Anderson takes on Ron Garvin to determine which enters RumbleClash first and which enters last. And then the main event for the evening, is RumbleClash, where thirty men enter and one man ends up with a shot at the Heavyweight Title in Birmingham, Alabama in February 1985.

Rating: ****

Arn Anderson now gets to enter RumbleClash last, while Ron Garvin must stay in the ring and get ready to face the wrestler that drew #2. Garvin and Rick Steamboat appear to be ready to come to blows because of Steamboat's interference during the match that helped Anderson.

Just handed to us from the locker room, an unknown assailant has attacked Krusher Khrushchev just outside of the Russian locker room.

Apparently Khrushchev won't be able to compete in the RumbleClash match.

So how did your all predictions fair? I broke even 3-3

I had Maxx Payne,The Samoans and Arn Anderson as winners

Jesus that was a long Royal Rumble! Highest I've ever seen one get, too. Guess the Philadelphia fans have a long attention span. ;D

Dusty Rhodes wins the Rumble, too. That feels awfully familiar. Of course, it raises the question of what happens if he makes it to your biggest show without losing the title. Sure, it's unlikely, but does that mean he doesn't have to have a title defense? Or will a contender be determined in another manner?

My predictions went pretty badly. In particular, Krusher Krushchev didn't even make it into the Royal Rumble! Of course, if he had, he would have won the thing, so it was probably for the best. Who stole his spot?

They must have.  At one point, there were 25 of the 30 guys in the ring.  And I haven't done the statistical analysis on the match yet, but I think it's safe to say that Ole Anderson and Robert Gibson were the two in the match the longest.

And someone told me that it was VERY unlikely that BCW would repeat itself.  This makes a second time that #25 in wins a Rumble match I've done out of 2 run.  And I think there was a rule put in place for week 49 JUST in case Foley would have still been BCW Champion at that point.  So of course, Dusty has that chance with CW now as well.

I guess Krusher will have to let us know in upcoming weeks, eh?  Provided he can speak English.  ;)  (from Robbinsdale, Minnesota, you say?  Barry Darsow's Krusher, you say?)

I'm sure once I figure out where the rules take me next, I will have some of my own twists to add to this mess of a marathon match.  And might add, in addition to Gibson and Ole Anderson having great showings, Ron Garvin put on one helluva of a performance for RumbleClash.  Of course, looking back at past CW matches, Anderson vs Garvin is pretty much always a huge ratings boost, which is part of why they got the match added to RumbleClash.  (and if I'm not mistaken, this may have been the highest rated card in CW history to this point).

And the Steamboat vs Garvin feud should get real interesting since they now hold the Tag Titles.  And what's with Manny Fernandez lasting so long in the RumbleClash match?

(author's note, only one match has had a booked ending in CW history thus far, Arn Anderson vs Ron Garvin for the #1/#30 on RumbleClash.  Basically I only picked the winner for the match.)

Well my pick in the rumble lasted over half an hour and thats no small feat for a Russian.
Murphy42782Posted on 12/07/04 at 21:19:27

Well, My predictions did well, the only one I was wrong about was Fantastic Fulton winning the RumbleClash match itself, however he lasted almost an hour. I must be psychic.

Excellent card Rick. I hope that Rhodes drops the title between now and then so that his win means a rematch in the coming weeks. I would've liked a Fulton/Rhodes main event as Fulton was beginning to pick up momentum in the last few weeks...

Garvin/Steamboat is interesting. I think Arn Anderson is a force in CW with or without any back-up and Ron Garvin and Steamboat are both solid workers. I like what looks to be an alliance between AA and The Dragon, I think a Steamboat heel turn will have fans aggrivated and it will show in his Heat rating....

some post-RumbleClash analysis:

The most in ring at any one time during the match:  25

The longest in-ring time:  Ole Anderson 2 hours 6 minutes; Robert Gibson 1 hour 52 minutes

Most eliminations:  Manny Fernandez 4; Tully Blanchard, Ice Train, Dusty Rhodes 3 each

Shortest time in ring:  Terry Allen 2 minutes 44 seconds; Billy Jack Haynes 3 minutes 18 seconds


(sidenote for Tommy:  per the copy of the PWI Almanac I have, Sting didn't make his in-ring debut until sometime in 1985 and it was as a member of the Blade Runners)
