Two future WWE Hall of Famers, Tito Santana and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff would face off in this pre-Wrestlemania era classic matchup in New York City on May 21, 1984. The bout would be a return match after their first match ended in a "time limit" draw in March. The two men would later have their final 1984 return bout for the title in September at a television taping of WWF at Kiel Auditorium, which was later featured on a home video VHS release.
