This match is joined in progress, but it doesn't hinder the quality of this match. The first Intercontinental Champion, Pat Patterson is taking on reigning WWF Champion, Bob Backland. These two guys just slug it out inside the confides of the steel cage. I will say, thus far, this has been my favorite match on the list, because these guys put it all out there in this match and it really shows. I believe this is one of the first cage matches where there is fighting a top of the cage.
Lots of drama here with near escapes and both men being bloodied. Patterson tries to use brass knuckles to gain an advantage at the end of the match to win, but Backland is able to outsmart him and escape outside the door to retain the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
My Grade: A-
A really fun match, and a good brawl to top it off.
