the then champion Moolah. The match is a very short one with Moolah appearing to only do a few moves to gain the victory. As it was Velvet's wrestling suit decided to break a strap which ended in a quick decision to finish the match. You can see Velvet clutching the top half of it whilst leaving the ring.
In the Survivor Series 1987 Velvet got an upset pin on the then champion Sherri Martel. Velvet then was necked over the top rope whilst attempting a shoulder sitting victory roll. McIntyre exchanged
