10 Vintage WrestleMania Matches That Ended In Disqualification

10. Brutus Beefcake (with Johnny Valiant) Vs. David Sammartino (with Bruno Sammartino)

WrestleMania I

31 March 1985

Madison Square Garden, New York

In 1985 Brutus Beefcake, a Floridian, was billed as hailing from “Parts Unknown”. This assured fans that The Berserker, Giant Gonzalez, and Doink the Clown had a hometown hair salon. At least Beefcake wasn’t a representative of ‘the fifth dimension’, or All Elite Wrestling as it is now known.

Bruno Sammartino accompanied his Rhyno-bodied son David to the ring. Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura concluded that both father and son had the same legs, noses, and hairstyles. Thankfully to avoid confusion the older Sammartino wore a sweater befitting of a sitcom dad.

Beefcake played the cowardly heel well, fleeing from the younger Sammartino, until he could draw him into some mat wrestling. The action was slower and methodical with bursts of Catch wrestling for punctuation. The latter section turned into a pure brawl with both men getting in some pretty stiff strikes.

The DQ:

After Johnny Valiant delivered a bodyslam to David onto the concrete. The four men brawled their way into the ring. Father and son beat down and chased off the "old enough to be father and son" duo. The match was ruled to be a double disqualification.
