The December 1, 1984 Edition of WWF Championship Wrestling is a Professional wrestling television show of the World Wrestling Federation, which took place on November 13, 1984 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York.
The episode is best known for the ending to the André the Giant/SD Jones vs. Big John Studd/Ken Patera match, where -- after throwing Jones from the ring, Studd and Patera brutally attacked and beat down André to the point of near unconsciousness, with manager Bobby Heenan's help, cut his hair. Studd, Patera and Heenan took turns chopping bits of hair from André's head, actions which commentator Vince McMahon famously condemned as "raping the dignity of André the Giant." The televised segment ended with the heels gloating to the crowd and showing off large clumps of hair before leaving the ring, the cutaway to pre-taped interviews happening just before several face wrestlers came to the ring to help André and Jones. This match marked the last appearance of André sporting a hairdo extending to below the neckline; as André began a tour of Japan shortly after this match was taped, he was not seen again on television or at U.S. shows until after the New Year, with commentators selling the idea that André was injured and, in trying to regain his dignity, was plotting revenge.
