He hypes his upcoming WrestleMania match against The Ultimate Warrior. He promises to walk away the new WWF Heavyweight Champion. His speech is interrupted by Greg Valentine, who is his opponent tonight. Valentine gets in the ring and gets right in the face of Savage before the bell sounds...A* -In a good match, Randy Savage(A*) defeated Greg Valentine(C-) in 6:27 by pinfall with a Flying Elbow Drop...B -In a video, Gene Okerlund hosts the WrestleMania Event Center. He discusses the matches lined up for WrestleMania and then sends us to a promo with Jake Roberts. Roberts hypes his feud with Stan Hansen before challenging Hansen to a Snake Pit match at WrestleMania. The rules are simple: the match ends when one of them is thrown in a pit of poisonous vipers. Does Hansen have the guts to accept the challenge? Roberts promises to leave Hansen in a pit of Vipers at WrestleMania...B -In a terrible match, The Undertaker(C+) defeated Brian Walsh(F+) in 3:47 by pinfall with a Tombstone Piledriver...C -The match is over and Brian Walsh is left down. The Undertaker is celebrating, but then stops and sees his opponent still on the ground. He attacks, and beats him into the canvas. He is handed a body bag by Paul Bearer and begins putting Walsh inside. He zips up the body bag and throws it over his shoulder, carrying it and Walsh to the back...C+ -As The Rockers make their entrance, they are shown in a corner video cutting a promo. They announce themselves as participants in this year's Vince McMahon Senior Memorial Battle Royal. They say they are going to have a rocking good time at WrestleMania and may the best man win.

He talks about Demolition and wants his revenge for them taking out Hawk. He calls them out to the ring for a fight. Demolition come out and attack Animal, double-teaming him. Animal holds his own briefly before the numbers game overpowers him. Following the Demolition Decapitation, Smash and Crush leave Animal lying in the center of the ring...B- -Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant had an interview with Gene Okerlund hyping their upcoming tag match with Slaughter and Earthquake. Hogan does most of the talking while Andre looks menacing in the background. Hogan congratulates Randy Savage on the victory last night but promises that he will be ready for a rematch if Savage wins the title at WrestleMania...A* -In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Don Muraco(D+) defeated Mike Sharpe(D+) in 5:59 by pinfall with a Muraco Hammer...C- -Don Muraco is being attacked by Buddy Landel in the ring. Seeing the assault, Tugboat comes running in and chases Landel off, saving Muraco from a serious beating. But their match is next...C- -In a poor match, Buddy Landel(D) defeated Tugboat(C-) in 5:54 by submission with a Figure Four Leglock...C- -In a video, Gene Okerlund hosts the WrestleMania Event Center once again.

I'm glad you enjoyed seeing your sign in the crowd. That's something that I will be doing for every pay-per-view event as we move forward.

Thanks for the predictions and comments. Landel is definitely teetering on the line between comedy character and actual threat. I haven't one hundred percent decided where I want to go with that. But I can say that he is actually listed on the creative meeting under 'Next Big Thing' and 'Hot Prospect.' That makes me think he definitely has a future. I hope you enjoyed The Wrestling Classic.

Not so much a commentary, mostly a question I had when I read this:

So as far as I'm aware, User Characters are essentially immortal. Still, when playing as an older character (and doing a diary, especially) it feels strange to have them go well past their 60s or whatnot and still have them around; I'd like to have the option to switch to a different UC, say from Richard Eisen to Eric Eisen or from Tommy Cornell Sr. to Eddie or Cornell Jr. This might even somehow be possible in TEW16 and I'm just not aware of it, if that's the case please let me know. If not, it would be an interesting addition to TEW2020

I think a bit of a way around that is to create a second player in the game and then leave as the first player. I've never actually done it, though.

Both of these men are likely to have something to say here on Prime Time Wrestling but both of them will be in action. Hulk Hogan will be teaming with long-time friend and rival Andre The Giant to take on Hogan's WrestleMania opponent: Sgt. Slaughter and Hogan's long-time rival Earthquake! Andre will be looking for revenge on Slaughter after Slaughter's attack on him last night at The Wrestling Classic. -The number one contender to the WWF Heavyweight title, Randy Savage, will also be in action in the opening bout this evening. He will take on Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine. Valentine is a long-time veteran of the ring and definitely no slouch in the ring. He is a former World Tag Team Champion and Intercontinental Champion. So he will be looking to do a number on Savage with his Hammer elbow and the Figure 4 Leglock. But Savage will be looking to drop that Flying Elbow Drop to score the victory. Only one man can walk away with the win. Make sure you tune in to find out who it is. -We will also see a rematch of sorts from The Wrestling Classic as the man who sent Big Bossman packing, Paul Orndorff will step in the ring in singles action against Tito Santana. Both of these men were in the six man match last night at The Wrestling Classic. Orndorff made a big return in rejoining the Heenan Family and was instrumental in his team picking up the win. Santana has told us that he is looking for revenge for Orndorff taking out his friend in Big Bossman, who we have learned has, indeed, been fired from the WWF. Make sure you tune in to see these two powerful wrestlers go one on one. -Plus we will see The Undertaker and Buddy Landel in singles action and more right here on Prime Time Wrestling!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing Randy Savage vs. Greg Valentine Comments: The Undertaker vs. Brian Walsh Comments: Orient Express vs. The Rockers Comments: Paul Orndorff vs. Tito Santana Comments: Mike Sharpe vs. Don Muraco Comments: Buddy Landel vs. Tugboat Comments: Sgt.

I guess I kind of wrote a little wrong for the stipulation between MDM and Piper. With Piper, Virgil was becoming a free man and on his own. Though I can definitely see how this wouldn't age well with this time period. But I do try to stick with things that happened back then. I just hope I don't offend anyone too much. I can understand the whole punishing someone in ring as well as outside of it. I have to admit that I am a big Eddie Gilbert fan so it is a little bit more difficult for me to punish him, especially given the plans that I have for him. Though, if this continues, I will have no choice. I'm glad you're enjoying things so far. I really am enjoying this diary as well. The lessened workload for the television shows is definitely a blessing and is helping me keep the diary going at a semi-decent pace.

The crowd goes wild with a few chants, including one for 'Hogan' and one for 'Warrior.' The cameras turn their focus to the announce booth where Gorilla Monsoon and Vince McMahon are standing with the crowd in the background.] [Gorilla Monsoon:] "Hello everyone and welcome to The Wrestling Classic! We're up here in Portland, Oregon for a show that is leading us on the road to WrestleMania! I'm Gorilla Monsoon alongside Vince McMahon. Vince, we have an amazing show tonight, don't we?" [Vince McMahon:] "We sure do, Gorilla. I am sure that all the fans at home and in the arena are looking forward to the match between The Immortal Hulk Hogan and The Macho King Randy Savage! This will be a rematch from WrestleMania V where Hogan took the WWF Heavyweight title from the Macho King. But there are no titles on the line tonight. Instead there is only pride as these were the last two men in the Royal Rumble." [Gorilla Monsoon:] "Indeed they were, Vince. The fans here are jam-packed to the rafters and they're ready for wrestling action so let's go to the ring for our opening bout."

Sam Houston is quick to want to start the match and Martel volunteers Hansen to start for the other side. The crowd members are on their feet as the two men lock up to begin the in ring action here at The Wrestling Classic. As you might expect, you don't exactly get a wrestling classic with an eight man tag team match. The match starts a little crazy as early on all eight men fight in the ring before things settle down. Bret Hart gets caught in no man's land and is the subject of frequent double teams by The Russians. Other than The Russians themselves, there's not a lot of chemistry between that side of things as Rick Martel keeps out of the ring unless his team has the decided advantage. It is during one of these moments that Martel is in the ring that The Hitman manages to avoid a clothesline and catch Martel with a double clothesline sending both men to the mat. Hart manages to crawl to his corner and he tags out to his partner The Anvil as Martel manages to tag in The Russian Nightmare. Neidhart and Nikita meet in the ring and exchange punches. Neidhart gets the advantage and The Anvil knocks Nikita to the mat! Neidhart rushes over and knocks Ivan Koloff off the apron but gets tagged with a right hand by Stan Hansen. Neidhart staggers around to take a kick to the gut by Nikita and a Russian Sickle -- NO! Neidhart ducks the Russian Sickle attempt and clotheslines Nikita over the top rope! As Nikita is going over, he tags in Rick Martel, who is NOT happy to be in the ring with Neidhart. Martel looks to quickly tag out but Stan Hansen and Ivan Koloff drop off the apron. Hansen walks toward the back as Ivan checks on Nikita, who seems to be legitimately hurt. Ivan helps Nikita to the back as Martel is stuck going four on one. The Hart Foundation hit him with the Hart Attack clothesline and then tag in Jake The Snake. A DDT chant rings through the crowd and Roberts gives them what they want, dropping Martel with the DDT in the center of the ring. Roberts tags in his brother and Houston makes the cover: One, Two, Three!] Winners: The Hart Foundation, Jake Roberts and Sam Houston (Via Pinfall @ 18:46) Match Rating: B</div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="N7xef4B.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/N7xef4B.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="zXOQqjr.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/zXOQqjr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IDnITPg.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/IDnITPg.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Rick Martel is left completely laid out in the center of the ring as The Hart Foundation grab their title belts and head to the back. This leaves Jake Roberts and Sam Houston in the ring with The Model. Houston walks over and grabs the snake bag, dragging it toward the center of the ring and a knocked out Martel. Jake Roberts exits the ring and grabs a bottle of water from the timekeeper before sliding back inside the ring. The Snake opens the water, takes a sip and then pours it on Martel to wake him up! Martel flails a moment as he wakes up and then looks absolutely horrified as Sam Houston drops Damian on top of him! Martel wiggles almost as much as the snake, trying to get himself free. Finally, The Model manages to get out from underneath the snake before rolling out of the ring and running toward the back. Sam Houston has done exactly what he said he would do tonight and the crowd absolutely loves him for it! Jake Roberts and Sam Houston raise each other's arms in the center of the ring. They not only scored the victory tonight but they got a second victory by placing Damian on top of The Model. Roberts grabs Damian and puts the snake over his shoulders before the two men and the snake exit the ring and head toward the back. Gorilla Monsoon sends us to interviews with both of the wrestlers in our next match.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="jqEOCBu.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/jqEOCBu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="1mcDCzq.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1mcDCzq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [The first interview begins with the man who has all the money in the World Wrestling Federation, The Million Dollar Man. Ted DiBiase is standing in a locker room area as he looks toward the camera.] [The Million Dollar Man:] "Wealth is what it's all about. It's the bottom line. It is the difference between living in mansions and having people to do your work and being one of those people who is actually doing the work. Everyone here in the World Wrestling Federation knows that I am the man with all the money in this company. That means that I get to do whatever I want and that's exactly what's going to happen tonight when I step foot in the ring with Roddy Piper. You see, Piper, you made a huge mistake when you declared that Virgil will be the special guest referee for our match. Virgil knows where his bread is buttered and he knows that he can come back to the million dollar bosom of Ted DiBiase. That means that tonight, Mr. Piper, you're going to have to face not only me but the referee because Virgil is going to be on my side. I guarantee it. So if you're smart Mr. Piper you're going to want to just lay down in the center of the ring and let me score my victory so that you don't have to go through the humiliation and beating tonight. It all comes down to this, tonight you will find out that everyone has a price for The Million Dollar Man." [The Million Dollar Man tosses his head back and laughs his evil laugh. Then we cut away to the second locker room set where we see Roddy Piper back in his ring trunks.] [Roddy Piper:] "Henh. Ted DiBiase thinks that he can buy me? That must be a joke, right? I can tell you that it sounds really funny to me because I've got money. I've got enough money to retire and live a life of luxury if that's what I wanted to do. But I've never been the kind of guy to walk or run away from a fight. As a matter of fact, I'm usually the guy that starts all the fights. Just ask guys like Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant. They'll tell you all about my big mouth. But I never say anything that I'm not prepared to back up. Ted DiBiase, you may have all the money in the world but all that money doesn't buy any class. If it did, you'd dress better. So I'll tell you what after I beat you tonight and set Virgil free I'll send you to my tailor and see if we can get you dressed in something a little classier like a kilt. But you're going to have to wake back up, though, because in just a few minutes I'm going to put your million dollar butt to sleep. You want a price for me, DiBiase? That price is going to be Virgil's freedom and that's going to happen right now." [Piper turns and walks off the set as Gorilla Monsoon lets us know that the match is coming up right now!]</div></blockquote> Match #2 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="jqEOCBu.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/jqEOCBu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1mcDCzq.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/1mcDCzq.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> Winner Gets Virgil Special Guest Referee: Virgil The Millon Dollar Man vs. Roddy Piper [As we cut back to the ring, we see Virgil is already inside wearing a referee's shirt. He leans back in a neutral corner as The Million Dollar Man and Roddy Piper make their entrances. Virgil calls for the opening bell and we're on! The two wrestlers meet in the center of the ring with Ted DiBiase motioning for Piper to lay down on the mat. DiBiase says that he will give Piper more money than he could ever dream of. The crowd boos as Piper lowers to his knees and then onto his back. DiBiase smiles and does his evil laugh toward Virgil before lowering down and laying with his back on Piper: One, Two, Piper shifts his weight, bringing DiBiase's shoulders to the mat in a roll-up: OneTwo, Kickout! Piper and DiBiase pop back up to their feet with DiBiase shoving Piper, yelling at him that he's a fool. In response, Piper pokes DiBiase in the eye, telling him that he's blind now. DiBiase staggers around and Piper drops to all fours with DiBiase tripping right over him! The match becomes a little more serious as we move forward with DiBiase exiting the ring and being chased by Piper. DiBiase slides back in and then strikes Piper with a knee to the ribs when Piper comes back in. DiBiase takes full control over the match for the next few minutes, including striking Piper with a flying double axehandle off the second turnbuckle and a belly-to-back suplex that scores him a two count. DiBiase gets up and yells at Virgil, telling him to count faster but Virgil simply refuses.] [Moving forward, Ted DiBiase grabs Roddy Piper and begins choking him on the middle rope with Virgil beginning the five count. DiBiase doesn't break before the five count so Virgil steps in and pulls him off, shoving DiBiase and threatening him with a DQ. DiBiase just laughs and stalks back toward Piper. DiBiase drags Piper to the center of the ring as the crowd begins chanting for a comeback from the Rowdy Scotsman. DiBiase sets up Piper for a vertical suplex but Piper blocks it! Piper shifts and catches DiBiase with a vertical suplex of his own! Both men lie on the mat as Virgil begins the count. He is taking his time on this count because he doesn't want the match to end in a draw. What would happen with his contract then? Both men slowly get up to their feet and meet in the center of the ring exchanging punches. Piper definitely seems to be getting worn out at this point in time with DiBiase seemingly having a little bit more left in the tank. DiBiase goes for the Million Dollar Dream but Piper blocks him from getting it completely hooked in. Piper catches DiBiase with a headbutt that seems to rock both men.

Roddy Piper releases the Sleeper, leaving Ted DiBiase knocked out on the mat. The Hot Rod hugs Virgil before Virgil raises Piper's arm in victory. Piper looks down at DiBiase for a moment before moving to his own corner and grabbing a clipboard that has the brand new WWF contract for Virgil! Virgil smiles as Piper walks over to him with the contract and a pen. Virgil signs the contract and then looks down at DiBiase. He smiles and throws the clipboard with the contract down on the chest of The Million Dollar Man! The crowd cheers as Virgil is now a free man! Piper seems to be thinking about something else, though. He walks over to DiBiase's corner and grabs a one hundred dollar bill! He holds it up to cheers from the crowd and tells Virgil that he will get the honors for this one. He hands over the bill and Virgil walks over to the fallen body of his former owner. Virgil takes a knee and then places the bill square in the mouth of The Million Dollar Man! This draws a huge cheer from the crowd!

This match has been building for around a month since The British Bulldog defeated The Warlord in an over-the-top rope challenge and Hercules no-showed an event where Power and Glory were scheduled to take on The Rockers. Slick did some good work at ringside during this match, using an early distraction of Marty Jannetty to get him caught in the corner of Power and Glory and The Warlord. The big man, The Warlord, shows his power on Jannetty when he grabs him in a bear hug and then runs him back-first into a neutral corner. Jannetty drops to his knees and a stomp to the head by The Warlord sends him right down to the mat. The Warlord bounces off the ropes and hits a leaping elbow drop, making the cover but it's broken up by The British Bulldog and a stomp to the back. The Warlord gets back up and tags in Hercules, who comes in and catches Jannetty with a big boot to the face. Hercules picks up Jannetty and sets him up on the top turnbuckle. He climbs up, setting him up for a superplex but Jannetty blocks it! Jannetty throws two punches before shoving Hercules off the top! Jannetty drops down and forward rolls under Hercules, leaping and tagging in The British Bulldog! Bulldog rushes in and catches Hercules with a powerful clothesline and then a punch to knock The Warlord off the apron. Bulldog lifts Hercules on his shoulder but Hercules slips off the back, shoving Bulldog chest-first into the corner! Hercules tags in Paul Roma and goes for a German suplex on Bulldog but Bulldog blocks and slips around behind, leaping backward and tagging in Shawn Michaels! Michaels rushes in and catches Hercules with a knee to the back, sending him into the turnbuckle and crotching Roma! The British Bulldog and Marty Jannetty enter the ring with Bulldog battling The Warlord in and then out of the ring. Jannetty knocks Hercules out of the ring and catches him with a springboard cross body! Michaels catches Roma with a super kick! Michaels pulls Roma to the center of the ring and heads to the top turnbuckle -- Top Rope Rocker Dropper!

The stars have aligned, once again, to bring us to the battleground known as The Wrestling Classic against Sgt. Slaughter. One month ago, Sgt. Slaughter went to war with my warriors and he fell like everyone else before him. He collapsed to the might of all of my warriors. This night shall be just like that one as I load Sgt. Slaughter into a car that is headed straight for a ravine. I shall strap you in and the warriors will power the car as it drives off the cliff and down the ravine until you are destroyed.

I know that in Parts Unknown they don't have any leader like the leader of the greatest nation in the world, Iraq, the man known as Saddam Hussein. Ultimate Puke, I am going to defeat you tonight and I am going to take the WWF Heavyweight title. I am going to take that title from this garbage city called Portland to the greatest nation and lay it at the feet of my friend, Saddam Hussein.

Slaughter [This is one of the biggest matches in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. It is a rematch from the Royal Rumble with one major change and that is the addition of the man who walks down to ringside and that man is Andre The Giant! Andre stands at ringside with his arms crossed over his chest as Slaughter and then Warrior make their entrances. Slaughter has the Iraqi flag in his corner, while Warrior has the WWF Heavyweight title. Earl Hebner is the referee assigned to this match inside the ring, while Andre is the second referee outside the ring. The two men meet in the center of the ring as the bell sounds and begin jawwing at one another. Slaughter gives Warrior a mock salute and Warrior slaps the taste out of Slaughter's mouth! The crowd cheers the slap but Slaughter throws a punch! Warrior throws a punch! The two men begin exchanging blows in the center of the ring! Warrior starts getting control, knocking Slaughter to the mat! Slaughter rolls out of the ring with Monsoon calling him a coward as he walks around before coming face-to-face with Andre The Giant. Andre smiles and Slaughter turns and slides back in the ring instead of doing battle with Andre. Warrior's control comes to an end when Slaughter rakes his face and then the Sarge begins focusing on the back of The Ultimate Warrior. Slaughter drops Warrior with a backbreaker in the center of the ring and makes the cover, only scoring a one count before Warrior slips out the back door. Slaughter picks up Warrior and drives him back to the mat with a body slam before dropping an elbow. Slaughter makes the cover again but only gets a two count this time. The match moves forward and around the eight minute mark Slaughter ducks a clothesline attempt by Warrior and Earl Hebner is taken out by the clothesline! Slaughter strikes Warrior with a knee to the back and he sees Andre helping to slide Earl Hebner out of the ring. With both men's backs turned, Slaughter grabs the Iraqi flag and strikes Warrior with the flag! He hits him two more times across the back before putting the flag back in his corner as Andre enters the ring as the second referee. Slaughter grabs Warrior and locks on the Camel Clutch in the center of the ring! The crowd boos as Slaughter leans back in the hold.] [....Slaughter leans back in the Camel Clutch with Andre The Giant checking on The Ultimate Warrior....] [....Warrior's eyes roll back in his head and Gorilla Monsoon worries that this match is over....] [....Andre checks the arm of Warrior and it drops once....] [....Warrior's arm drops twice....] [....Warrior's arm drops..NO!

Slaughter frowns as the Warrior somehow finds the strength to get to his feet and drops backward, crushing Slaughter on the mat beneath him! Both men lie on the mat as Andre The Giant begins a ten count. Slaughter manages to reach his feet first and he puts his finger in Andre's face before turning back to The Ultimate Warrior. Slaughter strikes The Warrior with a forearm shot to the back but Warrior grabs the bottom rope and begins to shake. His entire body begins to vibrate with the warriors in the arena giving him energy. Slaughter strikes The Warrior again and The Warrior gets to the second rope. Another shot and Warrior is on his feet. He begins moving around the ring taking in the strength from the warriors in the audience. He finally blocks a forearm shot and throws a punch! Warrior bounces off the ropes and takes down Slaughter with a clothesline! Warrior moves around the ring and hits another clothesline! The fans are on their feet as The Ultimate Warrior has regained control of the match. The Ultimate Warrior strikes Sgt. Slaughter with a leaping shoulderblock! He stands in the center of the ring and makes a motion for the crowd. He picks up Slaughter -- Gorilla Press Slam! Slaughter is planted in the center of the ring! Warrior bounces off the ropes -- Running Splash! He gets up and bounces off the ropes again -- Second Running Splash!

Slaughter grabs the ropes and slowly pulls himself to his feet, realizing what has just happened. He just lost his opportunity at becoming the WWF Heavyweight Champion. A 'USA' chant fills the arena as Slaughter stands there for a moment. He walks over and grabs the Iraqi flag as Andre The Giant begins to leave the ring. Slaughter rushes back over to Andre and strikes him with the flag on the back! Slaughter stays behind Andre, hitting him again and again with the flag before choking him with the staff from behind! He forces Andre The Giant to the mat and then stomps on him with Gorilla Monsoon decrying this as a Pearl Harbor Job on Andre. Slaughter locks Andre in the Camel Clutch! The crowd boos as Slaughter is in complete control. Vince McMahon reminds everyone that Andre has back issues and that is what caused him to leave the World Wrestling Federation as an active competitor.

Hogan bounces off the ropes and Slaughter quickly rolls out of the ring, escaping further punishment. Hogan grabs the flag and breaks the staff over his knee! He tosses the flag and staff over the top rope to Slaughter as Slaughter backs his way toward the back. Then Hogan turns toward Andre The Giant and points to him. Hogan walks over and helps Andre reach his feet. These two men have been the best of friends and the best of enemies. Hogan defeated Andre at WrestleMania III.

Santana catches Perfect with an arm drag and then a scoop slam before Perfect rolls out of the ring to confer with The Weasel, err, The Brain. Perfect rolls back in the ring and tags in The Barbarian. Santana tags in Ricky Steamboat. The two men lock up and The Barbarian drives Steamboat toward a corner but Steamboat reverses it at the last moment, backing The Barbarian in the corner. Steamboat lights up The Barbarian's chest with chops before ducking a clothesline attempt and sending The Barbarian flying with an arm drag!

The Barbarian places two stomps on the back of Steamboat's head and then tags in Mr. Perfect. Perfect moves in and picks up Steamboat, bringing him down with a snap mare. He backs into the corner and then catches Steamboat with a rolling neck snap. Perfect drags Steamboat into the corner of The Heenan Family and the next several minutes is a true beat down of the number one contender to the WWF Intercontinental title. But Steamboat shows his heart as he refuses to be pinned despite the beating he is taking. Finally, the momentum shifts when The Barbarian lifts Steamboat but Steamboat manages to swing around behind The Barbarian and bring him down with a crucifix to score a two count. Steamboat rolls to the corner and tags in Tito Santana as The Barbarian tags in Paul Orndorff! Mr. Wonderful rushes in but takes a clothesline from Santana! Santana catches Orndorff with a knee to the gut and then a double underhook suplex! Santana tags in Big Bossman and they do a quickly double team of Orndorff that brings in Mr. Perfect and The Barbarian!

Bossman goes for the cover but Perfect's not the legal man! Bossman gets up and is attacked from behind by Paul Orndorff!

He turns and sees the camera, offering a smile.] [Don Muraco:] "Welcome back to The Rock show. Last week, I offered anyone to come here during The Wrestling Classic and challenge me to a weightlifting contest. Let's see who has arrived." [Muraco looks around for a moment before coming across a man dressed in a wrestling singlet. The man looks Muraco up and down and doesn't look impressed by The Rock.] [Don Muraco:] "I think we have a taker. Please introduce yourself." [Gary Albright:] "My name is Gary Albright. For those who don't know, I am the greatest wrestler in the history of the University of Nebraska with 38 falls in one season. I am here to prove that I am not only the greatest wrestler but the strongest when I take you on, Rock." [Don Muraco:] "Alright, Gary. Welcome to the World Wrestling Federation and welcome to this weightlifting competition. Is there anyone else?" [For some reason, '2001' begins to play over the speaker system in the gym. Muraco and Albright look confused but in walks 'The Nature Boy' Buddy Landel! Landel gives a strut toward the two men but doesn't quite make it and has to add a couple of struts in there to get into position. Landel foregoes the talking and walks right up to the weight bench. He sits down, lays down and does ten repetitions with two weights on each side. Albright smirks and takes over the position, adding a third weight on either side. Albright does ten reps and then stands back, letting Muraco take over. Muraco adds more weight until there are five on both sides. Muraco begins and gets to seven before Landel strikes him in the knee with a dumbbell! Muraco drops the weight on his chest and then it gets sent to the side. Landel continues his assault on the knee of Muraco until security steps in and pulls Landel away. A security team member calls for an ambulance before we go back to the ring.]</div></blockquote> Match #6 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="xtIBfz1.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/xtIBfz1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EPjkltT.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/EPjkltT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tkBjjAc.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/tkBjjAc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> Eddie Gilbert vs. Wahoo McDaniel [Our semi final match is up next as 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert steps in the ring with the Native American Chief Wahoo McDaniel! McDaniel comes down to the ring dressed in a ceremonial headdress and points to a sign up in the crowd that has 'W A H O O' spelled out with different signs! McDaniel enters the ring and is immediately set upon by Gilbert. Gilbert knocks McDaniel back in the corner and throws some hard punches before taking him out and dropping him to the mat with a body slam. This particular match was meant to cool down the crowd a little bit and it seemed to do it's job with a lot of restholds during the contest. The match was very formulaic with McDaniel getting the brief comeback early before Gilbert takes control throughout much of the match. The man known as Hot Stuff scores a near fall following a bulldog on McDaniel but the crowd gets behind Wahoo. The Native American responds by fighting his way back to his feet and gaining control. McDaniel takes Gilbert to the mat and goes for the Indian Deathlock but Gilbert grabs the referee and yanks him over. The referee is stuck between McDaniel and Gilbert for a moment, dazed. McDaniel checks on the referee as Gilbert reaches into his trunks and pulls something out. McDaniel turns his attention back to Gilbert and takes a right hand to the head! Gilbert stuffs that foreign object back in his trunks and makes the cover, placing his feet on the ropes: One, Two, Three!] Winner: Eddie Gilbert (Via Pinfall @ 9:48) Match Rating: C</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="xtIBfz1.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/xtIBfz1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="tkBjjAc.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/tkBjjAc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [The match is over and Eddie Gilbert gets his arm raised by the referee. A big win for Hot Stuff on this night over the veteran Wahoo McDaniel. McDaniel slowly begins getting to his feet and he turns to the referee, complaining that Gilbert used some type of foreign object in the match. Gilbert looks a little dazed (no doubt due to his use of hard drugs). The referee comes over to Gilbert and asks him if he used something but Gilbert denies the use of a foreign object. McDaniel comes over and shoves Gilbert. Gilbert fires back with a literal FIREBALL! The fireball burns the face of McDaniel and he drops to the mat, rocking back and forth in pain. McDaniel covers his face, crying out from the pain of the fireball as Eddie Gilbert just smiles in the background. The referee checks on McDaniel and calls for an EMT to come out and help the burn victim. Gilbert starts to leave the ring and then looks down at the Native American headdress! Gorilla Monsoon cries foul, yelling from the announce booth that Gilbert wouldn't dare. Hot Stuff grabs the Native American headdress and exits the ring, walking to the back as we have to have Wahoo McDaniel stretchered from the ring. What a horrible way to continue this Wrestling Classic. As McDaniel gets taken from the ring, McMahon sends us backstage to Gene Okerlund.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="B0oP4BH.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/B0oP4BH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="pUXLrvK.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/pUXLrvK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bpf8zNd.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/bpf8zNd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Gene Okerlund is standing by backstage with The Macho King Randy Savage and Sensational Queen Sherri.

I want to wish the best for Wahoo McDaniel after what just happened to him. But we are only moments away from our main event and this man, The Macho King Randy Savage, stepping into the ring with the man he has never pinned here in the World Wrestling Federation, Hulk Hogan. Randy, what kind of strategy do you have planned for tonight to finally secure that pinfall victory over Hulk Hogan?" [Randy Savage:] "Hulk Hogan, I can remember way back when at a time when The MegaPowers were bonded, yeah. I can remember a time when I could actually trust you to watch my back. Those days are gone, dig it? You've always made eyes at every woman I've ever loved, including this woman, Sensational Queen Sherri. But Sherri's not the type to stray away from her Macho King." [Gene Okerlund:] "Wait a second, are you saying that Hulk Hogan has eyes for Sherri?" [sensational Queen Sherri:] "And why wouldn't he? I am the most beautiful woman in the World Wrestling Federation. There's a reason why I am the Queen. But there's also a reason why I am with this man. He is going to bring his woman gold at WrestleMania and a victory tonight." [Randy Savage:] "That's right, Sherri, yeah. Tonight, Hulk Hogan, you're stepping in the ring with a changed man. When we fought at WrestleMania V, I was simply a Macho Man. Now, you're stepping inside the ring with the Royal Rumble winning Macho King. You're stepping in the ring with the future two time WWF Heavyweight CHampion. That means that you're just a three count away from being a loser. Ohhhh yeah!" [savage turns and walks off with Sherri by his side.] [Gene Okerlund:] "That was The Macho King Randy Savage and Sensational Queen Sherri. They both seem ready for Savage's match tonight.

They are surrounded by several muscular men who are throwing rose petals in front of them so that each step the King and Queen take is on the rose petals and not on the floor. When they reach the ring, one of the muscular men holds the ropes open and in walks The Macho King. Randy Savage twirls his finger in the air before moving back to the ropes and dismissing the men. Savage holds the ropes open and in walks his Sensational Queen Sherri. The man known as The Macho King stands in the center of the ring and has Sherri remove his robe and sunglasses. She also has his sceptor in hand as she exits the ring and stands in his corner. Pomp and Circumstances fades out and 'Real American' pumps through the arena in Portland, Oregon. The crowd rises with a huge pop! The cameras focus on the entrance and out walks Hulk Hogan! Gorilla Monsoon says that The Immortal Hulk Hogan looks as good as he's ever seen him! Hogan high fives the fans on his way to the ring, taking the time to walk all the way around the ring before stepping up the stairs and entering the ring. As Savage watches from his corner, Hogan moves to the center of the ring and tears off the red and yellow shirt. He cups his ear to the crowd, getting a good 'Hogan' chant started by those in attendance. Howard Finkel does the ring introductions, including tonight's referee, Earl Hebner, who has recovered from what happened to him earlier. Hebner calls for the bell and this match is on!] [Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan meet in the center of the ring and lock up. Hogan turns the lock up into a side headlock, wrenching the neck of The Macho King. After about ten seconds, Savage manages to pull Hogan to the ropes, shooting Hogan off to the opposite side. Hogan comes back with a shoulderblock, knocking Savage not only to the mat but sending him flying to the corner. Savage sits in the corner for a moment looking up at Hogan before pulling himself to his feet. Savage circles around Hogan briefly before locking up with him again. Hogan pushes the lock up to a corner where the referee calls for a clean break. Hogan is willing but Savage slaps Hogan! Hogan moves in and Savage ducks, swinging Hogan around in the corner. Savage throws some quick punches and then goes for a vertical suplex. Hogan blocks it and then reverses it, lifting Savage up in the air. Hogan holds Savage up, his blood rushing to his head before Hogan drops Savage with the suplex. Hogan makes a cover but only gets a one and a half count before Savage has his shoulder up. Hogan maintains control for the next several minutes but the momentum turns when he goes to bounce off the ropes and Sherri grabs his ankle. It doesn't trip him but it does distract him as he turns to admonish Sherri. With Hogan's back turned, Savage moves in and catches him with a high knee to the back, sending Hogan through the ropes to the floor. Savage joins him outside the ring and rams him against the guardrail, choking him on the top of the guardrail. This causes the referee to leave the ring and warn Savage, threatening to disqualify him. Savage breaks from Hogan and then grabs him, running him face-first into the ring post as Sensational Queen Sherri distracts referee Earl Hebner. Savage picks up Hogan and brings him down with a body slam outside the ring! Savage picks up Hogan and rolls him in the ring before heading to the top turnbuckle. He perches and waits for Hogan to reach his feet -- Flying Double Axehandle! Savage makes the cover as Earl Hebner slides back in the ring:] [....1.... ....2.... ..Kickout!] [The crowd cheers as Hulk Hogan manages to kick out! A desperate and angry Macho King looks to the referee, who signals that it was only a two count. Randy Savage claps his hands together three times as though showing the referee how it's done before he turns back to Hogan. He picks up The Immortal and brings him over with a vertical suplex before dropping a standing elbow drop on Hogan. Savage makes another cover: One, Two, Shoulder Up! Savage is still unable to get the pin as a 'Hogan' chant breaks out among the crowd here in Portland. Savage tosses Hogan out of the ring and joins him out there. Sensational Queen Sherri gets on the apron, getting the attention of the referee once again. With the referee distracted, Savage grabs a cable from one of the cameras and uses it to choke Hogan! Vince McMahon, at the announce table, yells about the cheating that Savage is doing in this match. Savage breaks the choking before Sherri gets off the apron. He pulls up Hogan and tosses him back in the ring before joining him. For another few minutes, Savage has control and uses a couple of restholds during this time. Savage has Hogan down on the mat and he signals for the top turnbuckle. He begins to ascend and looks down at the fallen Immortal. Savage raises his arms straight up in the air and leaps with the Flying Elbow Drop -- MISSES! Hogan rolled out of the way and gets to his knees, shaking his head! Hogan stares at the fallen Randy Savage, waiting as The Macho King gets to his feet and charges Hogan. Savage with a punch but Hogan shakes his head. Another punch! Another! Hogan pushes up to his feet and then points at Savage, wagging his finger. Hogan blocks a Savage punch and returns one! A second punch! A third punch! Hogan sends Savage to the ropes -- Big Boot! Hogan bounces off the ropes -- Leg Drop! He makes the cover:] [....1.... ....2.... ....3?] [While there should have been a three count, there wasn't because Sensational Queen Sherri jumped up on the apron and distracted referee Earl Hebner. Hulk Hogan lies on top of Randy Savage for at least a five count before he realizes that the referee is distracted. Hogan gets up to his feet and walks over to Sherri. He points at her, wagging his finger at the Sensational Queen. Sherri keeps Hogan and the referee distracted as The Macho King begins to recover. Savage grabs the ropes and pulls himself up to his feet. He charges in behind Hogan and strikes with a double sledge to the back. Sherri drops off the apron as Savage grabs Hogan by the top of the head. He rushes toward the ropes and leaps over the top rope, bringing Hogan's throat down on the top rope. Hogan bounces back and onto the mat as Savage rolls back in. Savage picks up Hogan and tucks him between his legs -- Piledriver! This move puts Hogan down on the mat as Savage looks toward the turnbuckle. Savage moves slowly toward the turnbuckle, climbing to the top. He looks down at Hogan and raises his arms in the air -- Flying Elbow Drop! This one connects! Savage thinks about going for the pin but, instead, goes back to the top turnbuckle. He leaps and connects with a second Flying Elbow Drop! He pops back up and heads to the top turnbuckle for a third time. He leaps -- a third Flying Elbow Drop connects on Hogan!

But for the first time ever The Macho King has pinned The Hulkster! This is all sorts of momentum for him as we head toward WrestleMania VII and his match with The Ultimate Warrior! Hulk Hogan rolls out of the ring and walks to the back in defeat. Savage motions to Sherri and Sherri exits the ring. She shoves around the timekeeper before grabbing a microphone and returning to the ring. She hands the microphone over to Savage, who is breathing heavy but lifts the microphone to his lips, speaking through pants of breath.] [Randy Savage:] "Ohhhhh yeah! I told you I could do it!

The two men roll around in the ring, exchanging blows. Warrior manages to get to his feet and pull up The Macho King. Warrior sends Savage over the top rope with a massive clothesline! The Ultimate Warrior beats his chest before sliding out of the ring and continuing to go after Randy Savage! Savage avoids a Warrior rush, sending him straight into the ring post! Warrior staggers and Savage rams him head-first into the guardrail as a slew of road agents and security rush out from the back to separate these two men! The two men are still trying to exchange head and body blows as they are being separated. Savage is pulled into the ring to keep them apart but he throws a couple of road agents to the mat! Savage climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps crashing into the bodies outside the ring but hitting The Ultimate Warrior with a Flying Double Axehandle! More officials spill out from the back to separate the two men who will fight for the WWF Heavyweight title at WrestleMania VII. At the announce table, Gorilla Monsoon and Vince McMahon let everyone know that we're out of time for the show tonight. They remind everyone to tune in tomorrow night for WWF Prime Time Wrestling as we continue on the road to WrestleMania VII. We'll see you there!]</div></blockquote></div>

Hey everyone, I wanted to give a little update here since it's been over a week since the predictions started. I am more than halfway through with writing up the card so I do expect it to be up sometime this week barring real life, of course. I have really enjoyed writing the card and I hope that it shows and that everyone feels it was worth the wait. With that said, you have a bit more time to get in predictions and some fun fan signs if you decide you want to create some. For those who don't know what they are, they are signs that would be seen in the crowd. I add them in to the writing for a little bit of realism. With that being said, let's go to a few comments. === <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Pipers Pit" data-cite="Pipers Pit" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Thoughts On Diary: Brings back good memories</div></blockquote> Hey Pipers Pit! Thanks for the predictions and comments! This definitely does bring back good memories. I would be nine/ten years old back in 1991 and I can remember this time vividly. Though I was always more of a WCW guy than WWF as I grew up in the south east. But I do remember watching this upcoming WrestleMania. I'm glad that I could bring back some good memories and I hope to create more as we move forward. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="horseman4lyfe" data-cite="horseman4lyfe" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Thoughts On Diary:Can't wait until Mania,with all these tagteams and midcarders, is it possible for the WWF to come up with their own version of the United states tagtitles or maybe a Televison title</div></blockquote> Hey horseman4lyfe! Thanks for the predictions and comments! I can't wait until Mania either. There's a lot of good stuff coming up both on this card and with Mania coming up. I do have a lot of tag teams and midcarders but I am also looking at trimming the roster between now and the end of WrestleMania. As of right now, I am not looking to create any new titles. But that could change in the future. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Zergon" data-cite="Zergon" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Eddie Gilbert vs. Wahoo McDaniel Comments: This feels like it should be Gilbert´s win but he caused problems backstage (wrestled as drunk and was on drugs as well) so I wonder if that affected his push at least momentarily.</div></blockquote> Hey Zergon! Thanks for the predictions and comments! I have to admit to being very disappointed in Eddie Gilbert and the trouble he's caused backstage. Does this mean he's lost his push? Well, the only way to find that out is to make sure to tune in.

We are on the final pay-per-view stop on the Road To WrestleMania! We have a huge main event match where we will see the number one contender to the WWF Heavyweight title, Randy Savage, take on The Immortal Hulk Hogan! In this rematch from WrestleMania V, Savage will be looking to get a pinfall victory over Hogan for the very first time here in the WWF. Hogan will be looking for revenge from the Royal Rumble where these were the last two men left and Savage eliminated Hogan to win the Royal Rumble. Either way, The Macho King will be looking for momentum as he heads toward his WrestleMania title match. -Speaking of the WWF Heavyweight title, there will also be a WWF Heavyweight title defense as The Ultimate Warrior defends against Sgt. Slaughter. This is a rematch from the Royal Rumble last month where The Ultimate Warrior pinned Slaughter with Slaughter's foot on the bottom rope. The referee missed the foot and awarded the victory to Warrior. The next night Jack Tunney announced this rematch at The Wrestling Classic with two referees. What he didn't announce at the time was that one of those special guest referees will be none other than Andre The Giant! Andre will be positioned outside the ring as an enforcer of the rules. The winner of this bout will head to WrestleMania as the WWF Heavyweight Champion to take on The Macho King Randy Savage. Make sure you tune in to find out who that man will be. -One man, however, will not be around the WWF at WrestleMania. There will be a six man tag team match at The Wrestling Classic featuring three members of The Heenan Family, Mr. Perfect, The Barbarian and a third mystery man, taking on Ricky Steamboat, Big Bossman and Tito Santana! Announced on WWF Superstars twenty four hours before this show, the loser of the fall of this match will be fired from the WWF. We could see the Intercontinental title get vacated when Mr. Perfect is fired. We could see the match at WrestleMania get changed if Ricky Steamboat loses and he is fired. The Barbarian has been here for three years but he could be sent packing if he loses the fall. Big Bossman could do some hard time and be sent back to Georgia if he loses the fall. A mystery third man could join The Heenan Family one night and be sent packing on the same night. Finally, Tito Santana could be the man leaving the WWF after nine years here in the promotion if he loses the fall. One man will be gone. Make sure you tune in and find out who that is. -The battle for Virgil will take place on this night. We will see The Million Dollar Man take on The Hot Rod Roddy Piper to determine which contract Virgil will sign. Virgil became 'unemployed' at the Royal Rumble when he turned on his benefactor, Ted DiBiase, and sent DiBiase over the top rope with a clothesline. The following night, Roddy Piper offered Virgil a contract with the WWF but DiBiase interrupted and offered to let bygones be bygones and bring Virgil back under contract with him. Virgil has been torn between the two offers but he will make that decision at The Wrestling Classic. It has been announced that Virgil will be the special guest referee for this match. Will he side with his old benefactor or will he become his own man and sign his own contract with the WWF? Make sure you tune in and find out which one! -Don Muraco made his return to the WWF at the Royal Rumble. While that didn't go his way, he has signed a full time contract here to rejoin the promotion. He has talked about being the strongest man in the WWF and issued a challenge to a weightlifting contest at The Wrestling Classic. He has offered this to any wrestler in the company. Who will step up and try to prove that they are stronger than The Rock? Make sure you tune in and find out! -Plus we will see Eddie Gilbert take on Wahoo McDaniel, eight man tag team action featuring The Russians, Stan Hansen and Rick Martel taking on The Hart Foundation, Jake Roberts and Sam Houston, a six man tag team match with Power and Glory and The Warlord taking on The Rockers and The British Bulldog and more right here on The Wrestling Classic!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing The Russians, Stan Hansen and Rick Martel vs. The Hart Foundation, Jake Roberts and Sam Houston Comments: Winner Gets Virgil Special Guest Referee: Virgil The Millon Dollar Man vs. Roddy Piper Comments: Power and Glory and The Warlord vs. The Rockers and The British Bulldog Comments: WWF Heavyweight Title Match Special Enforcer: Andre The Giant The Ultimate Warrior defends vs. Sgt.

We have the two men who will fight for the top two singles titles in the world at WrestleMania VII. On one side, we have the man who will fight for the WWF Heavyweight title in The Macho King Randy Savage. He is the man who won the Royal Rumble and will face Hulk Hogan at The Wrestling Classic. Fighting him on this night is the number one contender to Mr. Perfect's WWF Intercontinental title, Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat! These two men matched up at WrestleMania III where Steamboat pinned Savage and took the Intercontinental title. Many consider this to be the best match in the history of WWF and WrestleMania. Can the two of them live up to their last match and can Randy Savage avenge this loss? Make sure you tune in to find out. -It has, also, been announced that we will see a contract signing for the WWF Heavyweight title match at The Wrestling Classic. This contract signing will be overseen by WWF President Jack Tunney. It will, of course, be between the current WWF Heavyweight Champion The Ultimate Warrior and his challenger at The Wrestling Classic, Sgt. Slaughter. Slaughter earned this match after the controversy of his match with Warrior at The Royal Rumble. Warrior pinned Slaughter but Slaughter's foot was on the bottom rope during the pinfall. This lead Jack Tunney to make this rematch. Tunney, also, said that there will be a special enforcer at ringside for this match. He will announce this enforcer during the contract signing. There is much speculation as to who this enforcer will be. One way to find out is to tune in to the USA network for Prime Time Wrestling. -The first hour main event will also be huge for the fans as we see men who will be facing off in tag team action at WrestleMania VII. On one side we have former WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Ivan Koloff. The man known as The Russian Bear was one of the survivors of the tag team battle royal last week, along with his nephew Nikita Koloff. That win gave them the WWF World Tag Team title match at WrestleMania VII against the current champions The Hart Foundation. Speaking of the current champions, Ivan Koloff will be taking on one half of the current champions, Bret Hart. The man known as The Hitman has been one half of the tag team champions since SummerSlam last year. Hart is known as a great technical wrestler and the Excellence of Execution but can his technical wrestling overcome the power of The Russian Bear? Make sure you tune in and find out. -Plus we will see The Brooklyn Brawler and Mike Sharpe take on The American Express, a six man tag team match featuring Power and Glory and The Warlord and more right here on Prime Time Wrestling!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing Power and Glory and The Warlord vs. Al Burke, Brian Costello and Jim Powers Comments: Brooklyn Brawler and Mike Sharpe vs. The American Express Comments: Ivan Koloff vs. Bret Hart Comments: #1 Contender Versus #1 Contender Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat Comments: Thoughts On Diary:

This week on Prime Time Wrestling we are going to see a match that pits two of the top wrestlers in the WWF one on one as The Million Dollar Man goes up against Hulk Hogan in our main event! There is definite concern that Hogan might be looking ahead to The Wrestling Classic where he will face off against Randy Savage. Will Randy Savage play a part in this contest or will we see a clean match between two of the best? -At the Royal Rumble, we saw the return to the WWF of Stan Hansen when he attacked Jake Roberts. The man known as The Lariat will be in action for the first time on Prime Time Wrestling when he steps in the ring against The Birdman Koko B. Ware. Ware is definitely no slouch in the ring so this is no easy win for The Lariat. We could also see Jake Roberts play a part in this match, having that animal chemistry with The Birdman. Make sure you tune in to find out what happens. -On this night, we will see 10 teams compete in a tag team battle royal. The rules are simple, when one member of a team is eliminated, the entire team is eliminated. The winning team will face off against The Hart Foundation at WrestleMania VII for the WWF World Tag Team titles. There will be such teams as Earthquake and Dino Bravo, The Rockers, The Russians, Demolition and two mystery teams that will only be made known right before the match begins. One has to think that Earthquake has an advantage in a battle royal scenario or will everyone gang up on him at the beginning of the match to get him eliminated like we saw the field do to Buddy Landel at the Royal Rumble? -We will, also, see Virgil make his announcement on whether or not he is going to accept the WWF contract or return to The Million Dollar Man. We all know that Roddy Piper has been trying to convince Virgil to stand on his own two feet. But everyone knows that moving away from a benefactor is not an easy thing to do. This could be a banner night for The Million Dollar Man. -Plus we will see Mike Sharpe take on Wahoo McDaniel, The Undertaker's first match since joining the managerial services of Paul Bearer, Brooklyn Brawler versus The British Bulldog and more right here on Prime Time Wrestling!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing The Undertaker vs. Shane Douglas Comments: Mike Sharpe vs. Wahoo McDaniel Comments: 10 Tag Team Battle Royal Winners Receive A WWF World Tag Team Title Shot At WrestleMania VII The Russians vs. The Nasty Boys vs. Power and Glory vs. Earthquake and Dino Bravo vs. Haku and The Barbarian vs. Demolition vs. The Rockers vs. The Bushwhackers vs. ??? vs. ???

Thank you to everyone for the predictions so far. I appreciate all the readers that I have and continue to have as we move forward. As you can see, the pay-per-views are definitely going to take awhile to get out. I hope everyone can understand that. The next Prime Time Wrestling show will be coming soon but before we get into that, a few comments. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="EBEZA" data-cite="EBEZA" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Thoughts On Diary: Loving it so far! Just got caught up from the start! Thoughts On Royal Rumble: I love the level of detail put into the Rumble match itself! I wish the game allowed for that level of detail when booking the match!</div></blockquote> Hey EBEZA! Welcome to the show! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far and thank you for the comments and predictions. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the level of detail that I put into the Royal Rumble match itself. I can say that it took me several days to write it and I worried so much about repetition. Thank you so much for the support! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="horseman4lyfe" data-cite="horseman4lyfe" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:left;">Thoughts On Diary: great job Thoughts On Royal Rumble:</div>I had a feeling you were gonna slip a curve in there with the "NatureBoy" being Landel and not Flair. I think Landel was another great talent that was misused. Don't know if it was because he couldn't fight off his demons or just pissed to many promoters off. Glad to see Hotstuff show up as well</div></blockquote> Hey horseman4lyfe! Thanks for the predictions and comments! The Nature Boy swerve was a lot of fun to write in as the number 30 entrant. Landel was definitely a great talent that could have been more. I think part of the issue was his playing too much off previous Nature Boys. Will that change here? You can only read and find out. Glad to see you enjoyed the arrival of Eddie Gilbert, as well. That was another one that I enjoyed writing out with him hiding underneath the ring. Gilbert was, honestly, one of my favorite all-time wrestlers when I was younger. Seeing him in USWA and GWF was a lot of fun. Thank you, again, for the support. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="RyanR93WKU" data-cite="RyanR93WKU" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Thoughts On Royal Rumble/Dairy: Kinda sad that Slaughter failed to win the title, but I know the headline of Warrior vs. Savage for a World Title is just too good to pass up. Looking forward to see if Slaughter gets another shot down the road since his foot was on the rope maybe it becomes a triple threat match. I like the Royal Rumble several shockers looking to see what the new guys can do in this time period.</div></blockquote> Hey RyanR93WKU! Thanks for the predictions and comments. Slaughter winning the title just seemed, to me, to be too predictable in following what happened in real life. I wanted a bit of a swerve to call things my own. Will he get another title shot? You just might find out in this week's Prime Time Wrestling. I'm glad you enjoyed the Royal Rumble. As I said above, it took quite awhile to get it actually written up. A few new guys and some guys that may only be a one time appearance for the Royal Rumble. Thank you, again, for your support. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Kijar" data-cite="Kijar" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Thoughts On Royal Rumble: Absolutely loved the match. Macho King had a good spot to win from, glad he triumphed over Hogan. Steamboat had a long run and got a title shot as well, so all's well there. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div></blockquote> Hey Kijar! Thanks for the predictions and comments! I'm glad you enjoyed the Royal Rumble match. Savage winning, I am sure, was a pleasant surprise for a lot of people. He was my pick to win it from the beginning of this diary as I have made plans to WrestleMania VII already in advance. Steamboat's story arc has definitely taken an upswing despite him not winning the Royal Rumble match itself. As you said, he has a future Intercontinental title shot against Mr. Perfect. It's quite the consolation prize. Thank you, again, for your support. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="lionsden03" data-cite="lionsden03" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Thoughts On Diary: Loving it Thoughts On Royal Rumble: It was a great Rumble. Very well written. So so so glad Savage won instead of Hogan. I would assume Hogan had to be protected for him to go through with the finish?</div></blockquote> Hey lionsden03! Thanks for the predictions and comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the Royal Rumble match as well. As I said, it took quite a long time to write and I worried about repetitions as I moved forward. I hope it brought you and everyone else back to the real Royal Rumble. Hogan had to be protected and kept strong in order to lose the match. It was a bit of a sacrifice but one that I was more than willing to make to continue the story that I am building. Thank you, again, for your support.

The Macho King last eliminated Hulk Hogan on his way to securing a WWF Heavyweight title match at WrestleMania VII. The Royal Rumble was not without controversy, however. In the WWF Heavyweight title match, The Ultimate Warrior defeated Sgt. Slaughter by pinfall. However, Slaughter's foot was on the bottom rope during the pinfall. We have learned that Jack Tunney will be making an announcement in regards to what happened at the Royal Rumble. It will be interesting to see what the WWF President has to say. -Having spoken of Randy Savage, he will be in action on this night when he takes on one half of the WWF World Tag Team Champions Bret Hart. The Hitman suffered an assault last night by The Russians following the victory by The Hart Foundation over The Orient Express. We're not sure what kind of condition Hart will be in for this match but a victory over the Macho King could definitely elevate him in the singles rankings. -Last week, we had a confrontation between Power & Glory with Slick and The Rockers on The Genius's Poetry Slam. This week, those two teams will see battle in tag team action. Both teams would definitely like a future WWF World Tag Team title match against The Hart Foundation. A win this week would definitely go a long way toward earning a shot at the titles. -There were a lot of surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble last evening. Some of those entrants will be making their WWF Prime Time Wrestling debuts or returns this evening. We will see men like Buddy Landel and Eddie Gilbert in action. The Nature Boy Buddy Landel was a bit of a disappointment to a lot of WWF fans. Many of them were expecting someone like Buddy Rogers or Ric Flair but Landel is no pushover and he begins showing that tonight. -Demolition make their return to the WWF following their suspension by Jack Tunney last month. Demolition took out Legion Of Doom member Hawk in the parking lot. Smash and Crush, led by Mr. Fuji, were suspended and fined due to this attack. Following that attack, The Bushwhackers are looking to gain some revenge for The Legion Of Doom. Which team will earn some momentum as we move forward? -Plus we will see Barry Hardy take on Jake Roberts, Piper's Pit hosted by Roddy Piper, Koko B. Ware and more right here on Prime Time Wrestling!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing Buddy Landel vs. Brian Costello Comments: Eddie Gilbert vs. Koko B.
