The Iron Sheik/Nikolai Volkoff pairing had been split apart for WrestleMania 2 but were back with a vengeance a year later to give the substantially-more-exciting Killer Bees a humbling before ultra-patriot Jim Duggan made a popular save.
Anti-USA rhetoric dates horribly for the most part, but only as bad as the lumbering offence from the heels. Sheik and Volkoff could have made great bases for the Bees' dynamic tandem offence, but didn't look particularly bothered about that as they stole the disqualification victory thanks to 'Hacksaw's aforementioned intervention.
In all fairness, Shiek looked pretty ripped here - no wonder it was Jim Brunzell taking the Camel Clutch instead of his partner.
