Watched Mid-South Wrestlefest 1985, awesome outdoors house show in front of a rabid crowd, with two really fun matches - first, Ted DiBiase vs Jake Roberts in what's, technically, a heel vs heel match, but Jake is over so much at this point he's impossible to boo. They tell a good story, with Jake trying to hit the DDT and Ted trying to conceal his loaded glove from the ref, who eventually takes the glove from Ted but finds nothing inside, because Ted has it in his hand - he swings for Jake who ducks and hits the DDT for the win. Second, a wild and crazy 6-man tag match for the main event, with Hacksaw, Bill Watts & Dick Murdoch against Kamala, Skandor Akbar & Kareem Muhammad (the guy who trained New Jack). Akbar comes down to the ring with his arm in a sling, and claims then because of Hacksaw attacking him previously, he can't wrestle and instead a masked man will take his place. The commissioner gets on the mic and declares Sandar must wrestle, as he signed a contract, so Watts runs across the ring and hauls Akbar in by his 'injured' arm and we're under way. The heels never really get on the attack, as the face team keep up a furious pace until they isolate Kamala, of all people, and hit a triple team with Murdoch's running forearm, Hacksaw's shoulder charge into the ropes and a big body slam from Watts to pick up the pin.
