<p>Smasher, JGriff, and BHK thank you guys for the comments and following this Dynasty. </p><p> </p><p>

Smasher Andre didn't lose it was Superstar who took the lost. Your about to see why that was when the end of month show is posted later today. </p><p> </p><p>

JGriff I am about to start posting End of the Month Show. Which should be a good show. </p><p> </p><p>

BHK I like Ivan myself and I enjoy writing him. Nikolai in every game I play he gives me bad grades. So hopefully he does good in this one. I think Stan the Man is the most unknown World Champion in the WWF. Glad all of you are following.</p>

The Foreign Legion w/ Classy Freddie Blassie vs Barry Windham & Curt Hennig

This was a good match to start the show off. You could tell that Windham and Hennig were a better team as show good chemistry and teamwork. While it looked if Ivan and Nikolai couldn't mesh as a team at all. Windham hit a superplex on Ivan Koloff at 12:19 to get the pin.

Paul Orndorff vs Tito Santana ©

Orndorff and Santana stand in the ring trading barbs at one another. They finally lockup and Orndorff take the advantage with a high knee to Santana's stomach. This lead to Orndorff taking control early in the match. He had Santana reeling for the first half of the match. Until he went for the piledriver to end the match and Santana reversed it with a backdrop. Santana went on a roll from there keeping Orndorff off balance and begging for mercy. The fans started yelling when Rowdy Roddy Piper came down to the ring. This distracted Santana and the ref who told Piper to get away from ringside. Orndorff decided to take the advantage of the distraction and ran to slam high knee into Santana backside. Santana slipped away and Orndorff instead propelled himself out of the ring. Piper helped Orndorff to his feet and looked if he slipped him something. Orndorff slid it into his trunks and went back in the ring. Santana was on the attack and Orndorff was reeling. Piper jumped on the apron which distracted the ref and Santana who came over to attack Piper. Orndorff spun Santana around and knocked him straight out with an punch, it seemed if pennies flew out of Orndorff hand when he connected with the punch. Orndorff went for the pinfall and got the win at 15:48.

The Soul Patrol vs The Wild Samoans © w/ Captain Lou Albano

 

Afa and Sika started brawling with Rocky and Atlas from the very start of the match. The ref was losing control very fast, but finally was able to get two men in the ring. Atlas was getting beaten down by the double teaming of the Wild Samoans. Johnson tried to help only to cause more damage when he interfered in the match. Letting the Samoans double team and cheat even more. It looked if The Wild Samoans were to take the victory until Atlas was able to make the tag to Rocky. Rocky Johnson came in like a man on fire he hit Afa and Sika with bodyslams, and when Captain Lou Albano jumped on the ring apron to distract Rocky he got punched and knocked onto the arena floor. Rocky hit the Johnson shuffle and the fans cheered as he went for the pin and got the win at 14:42.

Ventura dives in the ring and as Hogan is following Jesse kicks him into the mat and puts him in an armbar. Hogan gets to his feet but Ventura uses the hair to bring Hogan back down to the mat.

Notes on the show. Wayne Farris aka Honky Tonk Man was fired before the show for starting a fight with Howard Finkel and plus Ivan Putski was fired for starting a fight with Sgt.Slaughter. I am surprised by the final rating of the show, but I must say it was because of four men Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura who shocked the hell out of me with their match rating. Plus their promos were fantastic. Andre and Don Muraco had another great match in their feud plus both their promos were fantastic. I was saddened because I could give props to only three men when all four deserved recognition for their performance on this card.

Great end of the month card. I really like how the big event matches are given more details than the TV shows. It makes them seem more important. I'm really interested in the tag team storylines. Got a few predictions with where you are going to go with it. Will see if I'm right.

Breaking news out of New York City it seems the World Wrestling Federation has a storm brewing between two of the companies top heroes WWF Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund and The Incredible Hulk Hogan. Insiders claim the comments that Hogan made was just in jest and that he respects and counts Backlund as one of his many friends. That the Hulkster in no way shape or form will challenge for WWF Heavyweight Championship as long as his good friend Bob Backlund is champion.</p>

He distracted the Ref letting Ventura pull a foreign object from his trunks which he used to knock out Graham with getting the pinfall at 18:07</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Jesse "The Body" Ventura</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><strong>Rating: B</strong></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36495" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>WWF Intercontinental Title Match: Steel Cage</strong></p><p> <span>http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a627/john_handley1/WWF/th_AndretheGiant2_zpscd3b26dc.jpg</span><span>http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a627/john_handley1/WWF/th_vs_zpsaea48ebd.jpg</span><span>http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a627/john_handley1/WWF/th_DonMuraco_zpscd3b8320.jpg</span>w/<span>http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a627/john_handley1/WWF/th_GrandWizard3_zpsdfa9549b.jpg</span></p><p> <span style="color:#0000FF;">Andre the Giant vs Don Muraco © w/ Grand Wizard</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Andre came to the ring first he shook the cage checking it out and than he walked into the ring awaiting his opponent tonight Don Muraco. Who came out with the fans booing him the whole time. Muraco began yelling at the fans. Who in turn began yelling Beach Bum! Beach Bum! This infuriated Muraco who refused to step inside the cage if the fans didn't stop calling him a Beach Bum. Muraco finally entered the ring and Andre came right after him pounding on Muraco like he was a punching bag. Andre grabs Muraco and tosses him into the cage face first. Muraco was holding his head and seemed dazed. Andre took Muraco and lifted him up and threw him like an dart against the cage once more. Muraco was barely moving and could see an crimson mask on Muraco now after the damage the cage and Andre had done on him. Muraco is barely standing up now and Andre comes after him again. Muraco swings weakly at Andre who looks at him and laughs. Andre begins to choke Muraco who falls to his knees, it seems that Andre wants to punish his foe more than to win the match. In desperate effort Muraco low blows Andre in the crown jewels. Andre staggers away in considerable pain. Muraco staggers to his feet and runs at Andre taking him down as he clips his knee with a shoulder block. Muraco crawls to the door of the cage as Andre makes it back to his feet. Andre face is full of rage and grabs Muraco by the hair and by his trunks throwing Muraco like an bullet through the door. Muraco lands on the guard rail and falls to the ground in severe pain. Unfortunately for Andre though he helped Muraco win the match by throwing him out the door at 18:24.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: Don Muraco</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><strong>Rating B+</strong></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a627/john_handley1/WWF/th_DonMuraco_zpscd3b8320.jpg</span><span>http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a627/john_handley1/WWF/th_AndretheGiant2_zpscd3b26dc.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Andre the Giant is furious at the lost and he steps out of the cage in an severe rage.

I really enjoy how many storylines you have going on involving Bob Backlund and the WWF Championship, it is the important belt, and it's nice to see everyone going after it. Sad to see the end of the "Superstar," but let's go Jesse! Also amazing how great Don Muraco has turned out to be for your WWF, you are using him superbly! Keep up the good work!

Ventura is fun to write for and I am enjoying his feud with Graham and Hogan. Muraco is my number one heel at the moment and I always was fan of his and I am enjoying writing the feud between him and Andre kind of disappointed though that the cage match rated so low.</p>

I loved doing this diary. To behonest I had never ran wwf game before I started this one. An I loved it and had great fun and enjoyed it. Sadly my computer literally died today and lost everything that had on it. This also killed my 1985 mod I was working on. I don't know when I will get a new computer. So for everyone that followed this and commented thank you guys very much . I am sorry that this died. Because I loved writing it.
