A unique aspect of this match was the involvement of Jake Hagar’s wife, who was sitting in the front row and even tried to smack Dustin Rhodes but would get a lip lock for her efforts. After the match, which Jake Hager won with the standing head-and-arm triangle choke, Hagar’s wife would celebrate with him in the ring.
