The infamous "Santa Rip" incident....That match itself between Billy Jack Haynes & Diamond Timothy Flowers wasn't anything special. Both Billy Jack & Rip Oliver had been out of Portland for a few months. This was Billy's first match back. Nobody expected Oliver back. This was a surprise to everyone because "Santa" had been walking around the arena for over an hour tossing out candy to kids, as you'll see at the beginning of the clip. Also, as you'll see, Portland TV cut away before Santa hit the ring as they didn't want kids to Santa taking a tire iron to BJH.
