Piper and Allen had to be held back by their teammates before the match started and didn’t face each other until almost 10 minutes in. While Piper was working over Youngblood, he taunted Allen. After Allen busted open The Iron Sheik he looked over at Piper and said “You’re next!”
Allen then purposely threw Sheik over into the corner so he could tag in Piper. Piper was reluctant at first, but cautiously got in the ring. The two men attacked each other, rolling all over the ring and falling out of the ring. When Sheik and Ladd went over to the combatants, Youngblood and Davidson went over there as well and a melee broke out. Piper and Allen got back into the ring and the battle outside the ring eventually dissipated. At one point, Allen trapped Piper in the ropes and pummeled him, busting him open.

Hampton Coliseum
Saturday February 2. 1983 Bell 7:30pm
Rowdy Roddy Piper came to the ring and grabbed the microphone and demanded Hampton Roads Native Magnum Terry Allen come out and salute him while he played the Scottish National Anthem on the bagpipes. When Allen didn’t respond, Piper prepped the pipes and started playing to the boos and obscenities of the crowd. Then the Coliseum erupted.
Allen stormed from the front concession area of the arena and caught the maestro off guard breaking up the music with a punch to the side of the head. Allen grabbed the pipes and smashed them against the turnbuckles then turned his attention to the charging and angry Piper. Piper hadn’t gotten his kilt off yet as the war began.
The two men fought, not wrestled, all over the ring and out at ringside.
Piper had the advantage and one point picked up a piece of his bagpipes and smashed Allen in the head with it outside of the ring. Allen busted open, responded by posting Piper to all four ring posts. Now both men were bleeding and the fans were eating it up. With pieces of bagpipes all over the ring area they were often times used as weapons as both men attacked each other. When Piper snared Allen in a sleeper, Allen used a jawjacker to get out of it, then whipped Piper in the ropes and delivered his Belly-to-Belly Suplex and pinned his rival at 21:13.
Allen turned his back on Piper and raised his hands and the hometown boy celebrated with his 6 thousand of his fans and neighbors. Piper didn’t wait to protest the decision he attacked Allen from behind and first tied him in the ropes and beat him, then quickly undid the ropes pounded the victor’s head into the mat. Piper then grabbed one of the wooden horns from the bagpipes and savaged Allen with it. Referee Tommy Young couldn’t pull Piper off of him and called for help. But help came in the form of the Iron Sheik, who was no help for Young at all. Sheik stomped Allen while Piper punched him.
Mark Youngblood and Harley Davidson along with Ricky Morton, Robert Gibson and Mighty Igor came out to chase away Piper and Sheik.

Hogan stays quiet
“And what are you doing to do about it?” Challenges Rogers. “Look Giant, the business between Hulk and myself is none of your affair. If you want to stay healthy and not get hurt, you’d best leave this area and never come back!”

Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling
Norfolk, Virginia
Norfolk Scope
Thursday February 7, 1983 Bell 7:30pm
A Texas-Tornado tag team match wowed the 8thousand and some change at the Norfolk Scope Arena as the hated Rowdy Roddy Piper and Mid Atlantic Champion, The Iron Sheik took on the increasingly popular Harley-Davidson and Chesapeake’s own, Magnum Terry Allen. Under the rules all four men were allowed in the ring at the same time and there was no disqualification so the match ends when one man is pinned. The match was a brawl from start to finish. The rivals went at each other at first with Davidson throwing the Sheik out of the ring and smashing him from post to post. Allen and Piper just tore into each other with Allen getting the upper hand. Eventually, the teams would switch off and Piper seemed to get the advantage over Harley…while Allen beat the dogslobber out of The Shiek. Seeing the Sheik in trouble, Piper left Davidson and blindsided Allen. The two fell out of the ring and continued their war. When The Iron Sheik looked to follow Piper and Allen out of the ring he was stopped by Davidson. The two fought in the ring, Davidson kept trying to get Sheik’s boot off, meanwhile Piper and Allen busted each other up outside of the ring.
Later, The Iron Sheik looked to load his boot, but Harley caught the kick, knocked the Iranian to the mat and was able to finally get the loaded boot off.
Outside the ring, Norfolk’s Finest, had to keep the fans from interfering with Piper and Magnum. Piper rammed Allen’s head repeatedly into the steel post and then would turn around and taunt the fans.
In the ring, Iron Sheik was hiding behind referee Sonny Fargo and ironically complaining that Harley was chasing him with a loaded boot.
Back outside the ring while a bleeding Piper was jawing at the fans, the bloody Allen recovered and grabbed a chair. As Piper turned around was clocked cold by Allen. The sound of the chair hitting Piper’s head rang throughout the Scope and got a gasp from the fans. It even caught the attention of Fargo who turned away from Davidson and Sheik. While Fargo turned away Davidson nailed the Sheik with the loaded boot and covered him. Fargo turned around to see Davidson cover Iron Sheik and made the pin at 21:14 while Allen, with the chair in his hand, stood over Piper and taunted him as the crowd cheered.
Davidson grabbed Allen and pulled him away from Piper and the two went back to the dressing room as the crowd cheered.

Richmond, Virginia
The Richmond Coliseum
February 8, 1983, Bell 7:30pm
Hulk Hogan, seconded by his manager Buddy Rogers faced the Polish strongman The Mighty Igor. From the start of the match, Igor wanted to test his strength against Hogan, but The Hulkster wanted no part of it. Igor, with the fans support, was able to get the advantage over Hogan who seemed flustered at his inability to budge his older adversary. Hogan did get in a scattered offense in, but usually due to underhanded tactics.
Late in the match, after repeated taunts of chicken by the fans, Hogan finally locked up with Igor in a test of strength. The test started very evenly as both me applied pressure. Both men were at a stalemate about a minute into it, but Igor, with encouragement from the fans, started to get the upper hand. Hogan, sensing he could be in trouble looked at Rogers at ringside, Rogers jumped up on the ring apron. With referee Sonny Fargo distracted Rogers, Hogan kicked Igor in the groin in hopes of being released, but Igor held on!
Hogan surprised the tactic only weakened his opponent, tried to take the advantage. When the crowd booed Hogan’s actions, Fargo turned around towards the wrestlers only to see Hogan and a visibly shook up Igor still locked together. Rogers grabbed Fargo to get his attention again away from the match. Hogan with Fargo distracted, kicked Igor low again…smiling, he then tried to pull away from his opponent, but IGOR STILL HELD ON!
The fans booed even louder at Hogan’s infraction which again got Fargo’s attention. Fargo turns to see an angry Igor huffing and puffing, mustering all of his strength and rebuilding his advantage in the fingerlocking test of strength. Hogan is near panic as Igor is coming back! Rogers again grabs Fargo. Sonny has had enough of Rogers and orders him off the ring apron. In the meantime, Hogan kicks Igor low for a third time.
This time the longtime fan favorite lets go and falls. Rogers turns to see Igor go down and Hogan goes ballistic on his fallen foe. He stomps and kicks Igor who cannot recover. Hogan whips him into the ropes and floors him with a massive clothesline, then flexes his muscles. Hulk then delivers the leg drop and covers him for the pin at 15:12. Hogan knows he has been showed up by the fan favorite and attacks him after the pin. Rogers distracts Fargo as the assault goes on.
With Rogers arguing with Fargo and Hogan beating on Igor neither of them are paying attention to what is going on in the arena. The crowd ROARS with cheers and excitement as ANDRE the GIANT makes his way to the ring and he isn’t happy. Andre gets up on the ring apron and Rogers is the first to see him. Rogers with an “Oh Crap!” look on his face leaves the ring. Andre ignores him and walks over to Hogan. Andre grabs Hogan by the back of his head and pulls him off of Igor and showing a swiftness that is amazing for his size and years, in one move turns Hogan around and clobbers him with a huge right hand. The audience blows the roof off the Richmond Coliseum! Hogan is reeling from Andre’s onslaught. After Andre gets 3 to 5 good shots in on Hogan, Rogers, and Larry Zbyszko who came to ringside, get Hogan out of the ring and they retreat to the dressing room. Andre checks on his friend Igor and gets him to his feet. Andre raises Igor’s hand as the crowd cheers.

Andre the Giant came to Charlotte and teamed with NWA Television Champion Mark Youngblood to face Hulk Hogan and Larry Zbyszko w/Buddy Rogers. Andre angrily wanted Hogan to get in the ring, but Hogan wanted no part of that. Instead, Zbyszko got the start against Youngblood. The faceoff between the two was pretty even, but when Mark tagged in Andre, Larry scurried back to his corner and tried to tag in Hogan, who jumped off the ring apron and talked to Rogers. Zbyszko was infuriated at his partner and manager who seemed ambivalent about his pleas responding with an almost “just do your best” kind of attitude. Andre tossed Z around like a rag doll. Andre tagged Youngblood back in who went to work on Zbyszko. Zbyszko finally was able to tag in Hogan who pounded on Mark. Zbyszko and Hogan tagged in and out and double teamed the young champion. After Zbyszko tagged in Hogan, Mark was able to escape thru Hogan’s legs and tagged in Andre. Hogan tried to back off but Andre wasted no time in attacking Hogan. He whipped Hogan into the ropes and leveled him with a BIG BOOT! Andre then picked Hogan up and slammed him to the mat. Hogan tagged in Zbyszko who was thrown around the ring again by Andre who tagged Youngblood in again. Youngblood was able to get the pin on Z at 14:05, Hogan was slow to try to break up the pin and Andre was able to get in the ring and the two giants went at it again.
