Both teams split the first two falls. During the third and deciding fall, Mayne and Siki started working over Billy Francis with a vicious attack and the referee ordered Mayne and Siki to stop. Both wrestlers refused to listen to the referee and were disqualified. When Ed Francis went to his son's aid, he too received a savage beating by Mayne and Siki. Then Johnny Barend came running down to the ring in his street clothes and entered the ring and used his cane to hit Mayne and Siki to save the Francis family.

Despite all of the above, Mayne and Siki retained their tag team titles since the championship cannot change hands on a disqualification.
