Match # 51: Austin Idol vs. Stan Hansen (Bunkhouse Match) (10/10/83) [EWY-12]

Bunkhouse match means anything goes. This is a rematch from our last match, where a horrible finish had Idol winning after Hansen had already won.

Russell: “Boy Hansen, spitting bullets tonight”. Classic.

Hansen takes the early advantage, getting a good heel reaction with his yell and Longhorns in the air. The retaining wire gets involved, used as a device to choke Hansen. Both guys are wearing jeans and tee shirts for this brawl. Hansen pulls a rope from his boot at the five minute mark and tries to choke out Austin Idol. Ref Morton gets involved and gets tied to the turnbuckle by his throat! Idol pulls out a tire tool but it gets used on him. This sends Eddie Marlin out to dive on Hansen and put a stop to this – Officially. He gets the Western Lariat for his trouble.

Idol comes back to defend Marlin by beating Hansen up with the tire iron, and Hansen just bails. Another bad finish to an average no DQ match. The highlight was the last minute, which was more fascinating or notable then good. 2 ½ stars and 5/10.
