Bruno Sammartino vs. Ken Patera

[7.0] "These two main eventing Madison Square Garden two months in a row. Real step up from the previous match. Crowd goes fucking berserk for every move Sammartino does which helps a lot. But I think Bruno helps create that effect by starting out like an absolute house of fire taking it straight to Patera; and with his big over the top selling to the cheap seats when he's in trouble. This ends on a blood stoppage, which doesn't seem like a conclusive finish, but this does appear to be the blow off of this feud. This was as fun as I can imagine a match of all stomps, kicks, punches and bearhugs being."

[6.0] "Almost certain this is my first WWWF Bruno match and maybe even first WWWF match overall, also happens to have one of the hottest crowds I've heard in a long time. The people love Bruno and hate Ken, makes this a perfect match-up when Bruno charges immediately and whips his ass for a bit and then Ken works him over with the people desperate for the comeback. Bruno sells the back great, he fights back into things and ends up driving Ken's head into the buckle busting him open and getting the match called off once Bruno goes to work on the cut with some fantastic punches. Can absolutely see why someone would love this even more, hell of a spectacle."

[8.0] "This was Bruno Sammartino at his best. A great brawl with Patera who was excellent at bumping for the babyface"

[9.0] "Patera was the perfect opponent for Bruno. He was big and strong but could bump and show ass against the fiery babyface. It's one of my favorite match of the 70's. Patera is a bloody mess at the end, a great brawl."
