Sgt. Slaughter has named his Alley Fight with Pat Patterson as the best in Madison Square Garden history. Slaughter was a guest on Under the Ring and talked about his rivalry with Patterson, and you can see a couple highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On his rivalry with Patterson: “Pat and I were having all these matches and pretty soon there was never any decisions, so Mr. McMahon Sr. got a little fed up with it and he said, ‘Well, you two are going into a special match.’ And I said, ‘What kind of match?’ And he said, ‘It’s called the alley fight.’ I said, ‘What’s an Alley Fight?’ He says, ‘I don’t know, I’ve never had one before, but I’m going to have one with you two.'”
On their Alley Fight at MSG: “We did have the greatest match of all time in Madison Square Garden. Truly an epic battle because there was no referee, as far as I know there was never a match before that without a referee and I don’t think there’s been a match since that match without a referee, and so we ended up battling and battling and battling.”
