PWF Title Match: Giant Baba (c) vs. The Sheik (4/28/1973)

Another Giant Baba vs. the Sheik match. Baba had just won the inaugural PWF Championship back in February so this was probably one of his first defenses of the belt. Baba's initial reign with the belt would last from February 27th, 1973 to June 1st, 1978.

This is largely an extension of their first match from Detroit. Baba doesn't become intimidated by the Sheik and uses some of his own brutal tactics against him. I like seeing this side of Baba in these matches. He usually comes across very stoic and business like in his matches. But you can tell that he just hates everything about the Sheik. That gets communicated very well in both of these matches and it's a nice change of pace to see Baba just brawling and getting mad at what his opponent is trying to do.

As I said previously, I see this as an extension of the previous match. I think I liked the first match a little more but this one was fun as well.
