<div style="text-align:center;">OOC: Using my imagination for it being "live." February Week 3, Friday Night, 1991 Prime Time Wrestling Live! (Airing on USA Network) From the Brantford Civic Centre in Brantford, Ontario, Canada Attendance: 2,981 (SELL OUT!) http://i.imgur.com/JLVdbC1.jpg Announcers: Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Rowdy Roddy Piper</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36794" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">DARK MATCHES -Chris Jericho def. Owen Hart when he used the ropes illegally for leverage. Grade: D+ -Demolition def. Barry Horowitz, Brooklyn Brawler and the Genius when Crush pinned Barry Horowitz following the Demolition Decapitation. Grade: D ======================================================== -Gorilla, Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper kick off the show, hyping tonight's lineup! Grade: B- -The Bushwhackers def. Dino Casanova and Sam Houston when Butch pinned Casanova following the Battering Ram. Grade: D- -The Event Center: Sean Mooney hypes Canadian Stampede with pre-recorded promos from the Big Boss Man, Mr. Perfect, the Hart Foundation and the Orient Express with Mr. Fuji doing the talking for them(Orient Express). Boss Man tells Perfect how he'll serve hard time up in the Great White North, and that Rick Rude will read him his rights after he loses the IC Title. Mr. Perfect, however, tells Boss Man that there is no way that Barney Fife and Andy Griffith are going to get the IC strap off of him. The Hart Foundation, meanwhile, talk about how the Orient Express will derail off the tracks, while Fuji responds with how he's had teams beat the Hart Foundation before, and this time will be no exception. Grade: B- -Rick Martel def. Virgil with the Boston Crab. Grade: C- -After Martel's match, the announce team sends it to a pre-taped message from Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who's standing by in a snake pit. He introduces Martel to his collection of snakes, from Damien, to Lucifer, to an even more dangerous snake, a king cobra he named Herod. He tells Martel that he better hope that he can trust Terry Taylor to have his back at Canadian Stampede, because Herod is getting impatient and can't wait to be unleashed. Then again, he may not waste Herod's time with an insignificant soul like Rick Martel. Grade: B- http://i.imgur.com/4CO3yxX.jpg -We see a pre-taped promo from the newest wrestler in the WWF, William Regal, who is sitting down in a cafe in jolly old England. He is sipping herbal tea and looks at the camera to talk about his disdain for how the "poor and filthy American pigs" cheer for "muscleheaded goofs" such as Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. Regal says he is coming to the World Wrestling Federation to bring class and civility to American wrestling. Grade: B- -The Big Boss Man and "Ravisihing" Rick Rude def. Haku and the Barbarian by DQ after Mr. Perfect interfered and attacked Rude. Boss Man, however, chases Perfect and the rest of the Heenan Family off. Grade: B- -Jim Powers and Rudy Boy Gonzalez are about to square off when who should show up but Vader, who proceeds to destroy both men! He powerbombs both of them, and delivers Vader Bombs to both of them as well. Grade: B -We see a pre-taped interview that Vince McMahon conducted with "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in the Titan Tower Studios. Duggan talks about how he had known Terry Taylor for a long time and couldn't believe the lies that he and his attorney, Mike Sekulow, have said about him. Duggan said he did nothing but try to help Taylor better his career after Bobby Heenan damn near had it in shambles, but now he sees Taylor for the backstabbing, two-faced chicken that everyone warned him about. Grade: C -Terry Taylor def. Greg "The Hammer" Valentine after a roll-up when Valentine was distracted by Mike Sekulow at ringside. Grade: D -Gorilla Monsoon says he's being told in his headset that there's a commotion in the back. We cut to a camera feed backstage, and we see the Legion of Doom, Power & Glory, the Rockers and Nasty Boys in a wild melee that has to be broken up by a team of officials! Grade: D -The Mountie def. Jimmy Snuka by pinfall after using his trusty Cattle Prod zapper while Jimmy Hart distracted the referee. Grade: D+ -The Undertaker def. "The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich with the Tombstone after "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase distracted Tornado. Grade: C -We see a pre-taped promo from the Ultimate Warrior promo about his match against Sgt. Slaughter. Grade: A* -Mean Gene interviews President Jack Tunney backstage, and Tunney talks about the implications of this upcoming WWF Title match, noting how if Slaughter wins the title, then it will be Slaughter vs. Savage at WrestleMania. Grade: B- http://i.imgur.com/7Sufd92.jpg http://i.imgur.com/11whltt.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/1cQTgs9.jpg -Sgt. Slaughter def. the Ultimate Warrior by DQ when Hulk Hogan attacked Slaughter. Earlier in the match, "Macho King" Randy Savage attacked Warrior when the ref was distracted with Sgt. Slaughter, which prompted the Hulkster to run down and clothesline Savage, then attack Slaughter. The ring announcer reminds the fans that the title can only change hands on a pinfall or submission, therefore the Ultimate Warrior was still the WWF World Heavyweight Champion. Grade: B -Lord Alfred Hayes is in the aisle and interviews Hulk Hogan after the match, and Hogan is hot about what happened. He then says "You know, Savage is out there, and I'm out here. I'll go out there right and get this butt kickin' underway!" Grade: B+ -Hulk Hogan def. "Macho King" Randy Savage by DQ when Sensational Queen Sherri and Sgt. Slaughter interfered. Grade: A* -Sherri and Savage get out of dodge while Slaughter brawls with Hogan. Both Earthquake and Dino Bravo run into the ring to help Slaughter attack Hogan, which brings Tugboat and "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith out to even the odds. But then Razor Ramon comes running out to join in the fracas, which brings out Tito Santana. Before you know it, we have a wild melee to end the show! Grade: A Overall Grade: A</div></div></blockquote>

Not a 24 hour notice, per se <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> But I am going to hold off on posting Canadian Stampede so that others who have not predicted yet can get their predictions in. With it being Thanksgiving weekend and all, I'll hold off till about Tuesday.

EDIT: It might help if I link you all to the Canadian Stampede card <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I just caught up on the entire diary and I like it a lot, you've definitely got a reader here. The roundtables are absolutely awesome haha. You capture guys like Savage and Slaughter better than most others too, and it's always fun to read the promos (even Virgil's <_<)

The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan vs. "Macho King" Randy Savage and Sgt. Slaughter

Can't see this team losing, I'm sorry.

WWF Intercontinental Championship

Mr. Perfect vs. The Big Boss Man

Perfect goes over and moves on to Rude, setting up an incredible match for the title at WM.

WWF World Tag Team Championship

The Hart Foundation vs. The Orient Express

The Orients lost to the Bushwhackers not too long ago, can't see them beating the Harts.

4 Corners Elimination #1 Contenders Match

The Rockers vs. Power & Glory vs. The Nasty Boys vs. The Legion of Doom

Just a hunch.

Tito Santana vs. The Mountie

I love The Mountie, but I think Tito snags a win here.

Great episode! It seems the Rick Rude as a face is going well!

Texas Tornado vs. The Million Dollar Man? Have in mind that if Von Erich is caught up with a drug problem and if he repeats it again, you'll have to choose someone else to feud with DiBiase.

Hope you still like them after I started summarizing the TV shows. I'm going to try and keep the humor going even after Prime Time becomes a B show now that I've got Monday Night Raw cleared for TNN(two years early and on a different network). Speaking of TV, I didn't notice until I already started the game that the WWF has no TV coverage in Canada or the UK, which if I'm not mistaken, they had TV coverage in both areas by then(and I think in Australia and Europe as well). I know I could go into the in-game editor and edit in coverage for those areas on either USA Network or TNN, but I don't think I want to go that route.

#1 Contenders 4 Corners Tag Team Match
The Rockers vs. Power & Glory w/Slick vs. The Legion of Doom vs. The Nasty Boys w/Jimmy Hart
http://i.imgur.com/6vAp3h7.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/1yM6Z0V.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/XOtHdwp.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/DspdhRg.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/DXLHXom.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Aaf0b3k.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/3nOomzi.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/tWZPrlI.jpg

The fans seemed to enjoy this very unique match, a first of its kind in the WWF. The rules stated that anybody could tag out to anyone, and it was quite amusing when Shawn Michaels tagged out to Paul Roma and Animal tagged out to Hercules. The ref told them they had to fight, and Roma and Hercules were not amused. Paul Roma went to tag out to Animal, and Animal tagged him alright... he tagged him with a right hand to the mush, knocking him out. Hercules ran over to grab Animal, but Hawk tagged him with a right hand as well, knocking Hercules out on top of Paul Roma, which the referee counted as a pinfall, with the crowd erupting with a huge pop as Power & Glory was eliminated. Needless to say, Slick was fuming at ringside, arguing with the ref outside the ring who was in charge of making sure teams eliminated left the ringside area.

Eliminated: Power & Glory

Now the Legion of Doom and Nasty Boys were going at it, taking turns tagging out to each other, with the occasional tag out to the Rockers. The Nasty Boys had Hawk reeling at one point, and it looked like the LOD were going to be eliminated. That's when Haku and the Barbarian came out to ringside, which distracted Jimmy Hart and the Nasty Boys. Heenan told Monsoon to hold on and that he'd be right back, then got up out of the announce table (which was positioned at ringside for tonight). Heenan apparently wanted to talk business with Hart, but the Mouth of the South kept telling him that he and his team were kinda busy. Brian Knobbs yelled at Heenan, Barbarian and Haku to get lost, which riled up Barbarian and Haku. Jerry Sags hopped down off the apron and joined Jimmy Hart in arguing with Heenan, Barbarian and Haku while the outside ref was keeping them separated. Meanwhile, as Knobbs was distracted, Hawk tagged out to Animal, who sneaked up behind Knobbs and hoisted him up on his shoulders while Hawk went to climb the top turnbuckle. Hawk came flying off the top rope and turned Knobbs inside out with a Doomsday Device while the Heenan Family frantically tried to get Hart and Sags to turn around, but it was too late as Animal covered Knobbs for the elimination.

Eliminated: The Nasty Boys

Sags rolled Knobbs out and Heenan, Haku and Barbarian ran over to try and revive him, but that just enraged Hart and Sags even more. Security rushed out to get everyone to the back, and Heenan back over to the announce table, while the Rockers and the Legion of Doom put on a clinic inside the ring. The end came when Animal hoisted Shawn Michaels up on his shoulder while Hawk went to climb the top turnbuckle. But Animal forgot to tag out to Hawk first, and Michaels rolled Animal over into a victory roll. Hawk tried to come down off the top rope, but Marty Jannetty cut him off with a crescent kick while Michaels got the victory and a shot at the WWF World Tag Team Titles for his team.

Eliminated: The Legion of Doom

Winners: The Rockers at 14:42 by pinfall when Shawn Michaels got a victory roll on Animal

Backstage, Mean Gene Okerlund was standing by with Jimmy Hart, who was still irate and mentioned that Jerry Sags went with Brian Knobbs to the trainer's room to get Knobbs checked out, but he should be OK. Earthquake, Dino Bravo and the Mountie were with Jimmy Hart, and they weren't very thrilled either. Earthquake and Dino Bravo took the time to question the British Bulldog's strength, while the Mountie said he would do what the American police officers are afraid to do, and that was to use his brand of law and order to deport Tito Santana back to Mexico, which of course caused Mean Gene to go “You can't say that!”

Razor Ramon was seated at ringside and heckling Tito Santana as loud as he could, but Tito did his best to ignore the Bad Guy and concentrate on his match against the Mountie. It was a back and forth battle, but then Santana started mounting an offense that the Mountie was having all sorts of trouble fighting off. That's when Razor Ramon ran in and attacked Santana, prompting the ref to call for the bell. The Mountie didn't seem to care about the disqualification loss and joined Razor on the beatdown until they decided to leave.

Winner: Tito Santana at 14:26 by DQ when Razor Ramon interfered

Kato and Tanaka gave Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart all they could handle and then some. It even looked like the titles were going to change hands at one point. But the Hart Foundation managed to take back control of the match and hit the Hart Attack on Tanaka, with Bret Hart making the cover while Jim Neidhart cut Kato off from making the save.

Winners: The Hart Foundation
The Hart Foundation retained the WWF World Tag Team Championship

Paul Bearer welcomed us to the Funeral Parlor, with the Undertaker standing off in the background, looking pretty intimidating. Bearer said that Rowdy Roddy Piper WAS going to be the first guest on the first ever Funeral Parlor, but he got a very generous offer that he just could not refuse and proceeded to welcome “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, with Chris Jericho following not too far behind him as the crowd booed them out of the building.

http://i.imgur.com/9BjzuuF.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/h4oG6N7.jpg

DiBiase said that once again, EVERYBODY had a price for the Million Dollar Man, even death itself. Paul Bearer then asked DiBiase what Jericho was doing with him.

Ted DiBiase: You see, Paul, just about every manager has been trying to acquire the services of this young superstar who has a bright future ahead of him. But I made him an offer that all the managers combined could not compete with, and every one of them congratulated me on being able to acquire the services of Mr. Jericho. I plan on mentoring him and molding him to take over where I leave off when I am ready to retire.

Jericho was about to speak when a furious Rowdy Roddy Piper showed up to speak his mind.

http://i.imgur.com/fX4rbc6.jpg

He grabbed Paul Bearer's microphone and proceeded to tear Ted DiBiase and Chris Jericho a new one. Piper was on a roll when Jericho grabbed a hold of the mic and told Piper to get off the stage because he was stealing their air time that Ted DiBiase bought and paid for. Piper couldn't take it anymore and slapped the taste out of Jericho's mouth, which got a huge pop from the crowd. DiBiase attacked Piper from behind, with Jericho joining in on the attack, but Piper fought back as Paul Bearer and the Undertaker opted to get out of dodge before things got too out of hand.

But then all three members of Demolition (Ax, Smash and Crush) ran in and helped DiBiase and Jericho beat Piper down, and did they ever do a number on him.

“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka and Greg “The Hammer” Valentine vs. The Warlord and the Brooklyn Brawler

Gorilla Monsoon mentioned that this match was added by President Jack Tunney just tonight as these four were itching for a fight in the back. Warlord was without Slick this time around, and Bobby Heenan stated that the Warlord wanted to venture out on his own, with Monsoon retorting “Yeah, he probably found out how much money Slick was cheating him out of.” Warlord and Brawler put up a good fight, but it wasn't enough as Valentine hit Brawler out with an elbow strike to the head, knocking the Brawler down and out. The Hammer tagged out to Snuka, who climbed the top turnbuckle and came crashing down with a Superfly Splash while Valentine cut the Warlord off with an elbow to his head as well.

Winners: Jimmy Snuka and Greg Valentine by pinfall at 6:34 after Snuka hit the Superfly Splash on Brawler

Backstage, Vince McMahon interviewed Jake “The Snake” Roberts and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan about their upcoming tag team match against Rick “The Model” Martel and Terry Taylor, who would have his attorney, Mike Sekulow, at ringside.

Jim Duggan: You know, Terry Taylor and Mike Sekulow have spread some slander and told some lies about ol' Hacksaw, but I don't fight with paper. I fight with my fists and this 2x4 if someone tries to use a weapon on me. HOOOOOOOOO!

Jake Roberts: Everybody says that attorneys like Mike Sekulows are snakes in the grass. And word on the street is that Terry Taylor is a bit of a snake himself. Those two WISH they could be as cunning and dangerous as the true snake of the WWF. And Rick Martel, I definitely have not forgotten about you. The good news is that my vision is back to 100%. The bad news is that my vision is back at 100% because that means I will be able to find you. I will keep coming after you, and I won't stop until I have my fun with you and then strike you with the DDT.

Grade: C

Rick “The Model” Martel and Terry Taylor w/Mike Sekulow vs. “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan and Jake “The Snake” Roberts

The match started off with Roberts and Duggan having their way with Martel and Taylor, and the crowd eating it up. After being tossed out of the ring, Mike Sekulow called Rick Martel and Terry Taylor over to regroup, but Jim Duggan grabbed Martel and Taylor's heads and knocked them against Sekulow's head as the crowd went nuts for the triple noggin knocker. Martel and Taylor would eventually regroup and put up more of a fight. After working out the kinks, they were able to isolate Jake Roberts and cut the ring off in half, tagging in and out while working over the Snake. The tide turned when Roberts and Taylor hit each other with a double clothesline, with both men crawling to their corners. Taylor tagged out to Martel, but Roberts was able to make the tag out to Duggan, who let Martel have it with right hand after right hand after right hand, then wound up his arm and knocked the WWF's resident fashion model down with a rather hard right hand. Terry Taylor got back into the ring and swung at Duggan with a haymaker, but Duggan ducked and Taylor spun around, allowing Hacksaw to pick him up and bring him down with an atomic drop. Martel was beginning to stir, and Taylor's attorney, Mike Sekulow, jumped up on the ring apron. The referee admonished him, and Duggan knocked him down to the floor with a right hand punch. Martel, however, caught Duggan from behind and rolled him up, holding onto the tights out of sight from the referee. Jake Roberts tried to stop the count, but Terry Taylor was able to get back to his feet and cut the Snake off with a running tackle.

Winners: Rick “The Model” Martel and Terry Taylor by pinfall at 14:18 when Martel rolled up Duggan and held the tights

Lord Alfred Hayes was backstage with the Bushwhackers for an interview. They were going crazy, swinging their arms around and amped up for their handicap match against the man they call Vader. Alfred asked them if they were ready for such a dangerous individual like Vader.

Luke: WHOOOOAAAA!

Butch: YAAAAAAA-YAAAYYYY!

Luke: You know, Alfred, we hear that Vader is so bloody dangerous!

Butch: But you know what else, Alfred?! People forget just how dangerous we can be too!

Luke: That's right, Cousin Butch! The other tag teams here in the WWF think we've gone soft because we happen to like to go out and have fun with all the Bushwhackeroos out there! But we can be just as downright nasty as anybody out there! Vader, we ain't backing down from you!

The Bushwhackers then proceeded to lick Alfred on both sides of his head, which caused Alfred to grimace.

Luke and Butch then marched around like a couple of buffoons, with the camera panning over to show William Regal, who had such a look of disdain and disgust on his face, looking as if he had just watched “Two Girls, One Cup.”

Vader vs. The Bushwhackers
http://i.imgur.com/3DTMFQC.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/uvhDyIv.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/2f33BJ0.jpg

Luke and Butch took the fight to the Mastodon of the WWF right after he took his mastodon helmet off and let it shoot smoke. But Vader showed that his dominance at the Royal Rumble was no fluke, punishing the Bushwhackers without much difficulty other than them putting up a fight. Vader powerbombed Butch, then clotheslined Luke as hard as he could. At this point, Bobby Heenan told Gorilla Monsoon he had to leave and go meet up with Mr. Perfect in the back, with Gorilla saying “Thank God!” With Butch out, Vader dragged Luke over near the corner, then went up to the middle turnbuckle, his back to Luke. Vader jumped off, and all his weight came crashing down onto Luke with the Vader Bomb for the one... two... three.

Winner: Vader by pinfall after hitting Luke with the Vader Bomb

Mean Gene Okerlund is backstage with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect and his manager, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. Heenan says that he has tried to reason with the Boss Man about the misunderstanding over the jokes he made about his mother, how they were just innocent jokes, but that Boss Man has been beligerent and now tonight, Perfect will serve him the Heenan Family brand of justice. Perfect interjects.

Mr. Perfect Boss Man, it's guys like you that are the reason there are people out there who don't respect the men and women in blue. And why should they respect someone who bullies people around? Boss Man, you may be big, and you may be bad, but you are certainly not, nor will you ever be... PERFECT.

Grade: B

http://i.imgur.com/5Bhr5f7.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/bfayA05.jpg

We now go over to Sean Mooney who is standing by with the Big Boss Man for a rebuttal. Boss Man says that Heenan's jokes were anything but jokes, that they were malicious insults meant to hurt his momma. Boss Man then took Perfect to task for what he had to say about police officers bullying innocent civilians.

Big Boss Man: Mr. Perfect, what about the innocent victims who get bullied by the criminals that are trying to run roughshod?! I can guarantee you if one of those punks mugged you, I would be the first person you'd come running and screaming to, demanding I do something about it. And as far as Rick Rude goes, I never forgot the role he had associating with Heenan, but I also understand that a person can change and make themselves a better human. Heck, I'm one such person who realized that what Slick had me doing was corrupt. So Rude, as long as you remain remorseful and sincere about changing your ways, I forgive you. But Bobby “Weasel” Heenan and Mr. Perfect? You two clowns will find out that crime does not pay!

Gorilla Monsoon was flying solo calling the action for this match, which saw the Boss Man have his way with Mr. Perfect early on, with Perfect bumping and flying around like only he can when Boss Man tossed him around and beat the crap out of him early in the match. But Perfect took control of the match when Boss Man ducked down too early for an overhead back body drop, allowing Perfect to kick him in the head, followed by a dropkick that took the former prison guard down. Perfect was working over the Boss Man, but the big man was making a comeback. Boss Man had Perfect where he wanted him after a spinebuster, and that's when Bobby Heenan decided to get involved. Boss Man went to run the ropes, and Heenan reached out to grab his foot in an attempt to trip him. Boss Man turned around and went to grab Heenan, with the crowd cheering him on. The ref ran over to get the two separated, with the crowd booing the ref. The ref then yelled at Heenan to get down off the apron. Behind his back, Boss Man turned around and right into a low blow from Perfect, who rolled him up into a small package. The ref turned around to see the pinfall and made the count.

Winner: Mr. Perfect by pinfall after a low blow
Mr. Perfect retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship

Immediately after the match, Ravishing Rick Rude ran down to the ring and started punching away at Mr. Perfect. Rude punched Perfect so hard with the last punch that it sent Perfect flying into the air and landing down near the ropes. Bobby Heenan quickly grabbed a hold of him and helped him to the back. The ref was admonishing Rude, who looked angry at everything that transpired.

Gorilla Monsoon: Well while the Weasel gets Mr. Perfect to the back and takes his time returning to the announce table, let's go to Mean Gene, who's in the back with Hulk Hogan and the WWF World Heavyweight Champion, the Ultimate Warrior.

Mean Gene is backstage with Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior, who are amped up about the big tag team match coming up. Hogan goes on about how he will make Slaughter wave the white flag of surrender for what he did at the Royal Rumble, and the Warrior talked about how step one of overthrowing the Kingdom of the Madness is defeating Slaughter and Savage tonight.

Ultimate Warrior: And Sensational Queen Sherri, if you try to get involved in the match tonight, you too will feel the wrath of the Hulkamaniacs and the Warriors as they come together as one to destroy those that would rule the WWF with an iron fist!

Hulk Hogan: Sgt. Slaughter, Macho King and Wicked Witch Queen Sherri, what are you three stooges going to do when the Warriors and the Hulkamaniacs run wild all over yoooouuuu?!!!

Back to Gorilla Monsoon, who tells the fans that Sgt. Slaughter, “Macho King” Randy Savage and Sensational Queen Sherri recorded their comments earlier today and threw it to the promo. Slaughter mentioned how he would run over Hulkamania just like Iraq ran over Kuwait. Macho King talked about how Ultimate Warrior was making a big mistake by accepting this tag team match tonight before WrestleMania because he had plans to soften Warrior up before the big showdown at WrestleMania VII.

Macho King and Sgt. Slaughter ambushed Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan as they entered the ring, but Warrior and Hogan fought back, sending the Macho King and Sgt. Slaughter to the outside to regroup. Warrior and Hogan had the advantage early on, but Macho King and Sgt. Slaughter would turn the match back around in their favor when Slaughter gouged Hogan in the eyes. Savage and Slaughter took turns working Hogan over, but Slaughter made a big mistake when he went to the top rope and came down with an attempted flying knee drop, only for Hogan to roll out of the way. Slaughter crawled over to make the tag to Savage, but Hogan was able to tag out to the Warrior. The Ultimate Warrior was like a house of fire, beating both Macho King and Sgt. Slaughter into oblivion. Sensational Queen Sherri grabbed a hold of Macho King to get him out of the ring while Sgt. Slaughter rolled out, and they all retreated to the back as the fans booed them out of the building, with Hogan and Warrior shouting at them to come back. Gorilla Monsoon called Macho King and Sgt. Slaughter cowards, while Heenan thought it was smart on their part to live to fight another day with nothing on the line in this match.

Winners: The Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan by count out at 10:10 when “Macho King” Randy Savage and Sgt. Slaughter retreated to the back

A few OOC notes. Once again, I'll go through the predictions and add them up later this weekend. I've been staying at a Motel 6 since yesterday since it's only five minutes away from where I work due to the winter weather in DFW this week. While they have WiFi, it's not secure, and I'm not taking my chances on it. Basically I'm only online at work. So it could be Sunday before I post the standings(maybe Sunday evening). Second, for those wondering about the Piper segment that rated a D+(where he was taken to the back), I had El Dandy in a non-rated role and his language problems drug the segment down. I still don't know if that's supposed to be by design as my thread in Support was taken down. Don't even know if it was addressed in the last patch. So that's why that segment got sunk. Piper's drinking seems to be bringing segments down too, so I'm debating either bringing it down or doing away with it altogether and reintroduce it if I let him leave later down the road.

That was a great event!

Tough i was rooting for Power and Glory, i loved when Paul Roma had to cover Hercules xD! You captured the essence of the 1991 days of WWF!

When i was reading the part when Texas Tornado, Tugboat, Owen Hart and... El Dandy? I mean... why did you use him? The guy doesn't know nada en inglés, despite the fact that he's one of the Power 500 of Wrestling (I don't remember the number he was)

Also, i think it was kinda out of place the "Two Girls, One Cup" reference, you're supposed to run a wrestling company 1991, not 2012.

I nearly laughed when you put Bushwhackers in an interview segment and then walked away like the... (i'm not going to say what i think of them)... they're are, i tought... "They're not going for a match... they're going for their funeral."

So far, it's going good for Rude as a face.

And now it's going to be, maybe the greatest tag team match in the history of Wrestlemania... The Rockers vs The Hart Foundation!!

As i was reading Canadian Stampede... everytime a match started... i imitated The Fink, announcing the matches that were coming.

I picked up El Dandy because he had very good performance skills, which will come in handy when I have him job to other guys to put them over. I honestly forgot about language barriers still causing havoc even when in Not Rated roles. >_>

I figured I could get away with the "2 Girls, 1 Cup" reference as long as I didn't use it in the actual dialogue, only in the description. I'm looking at it from the standpoint that a modern day reviewer is writing a review of an old wrestling show.

Glad you liked how Power & Glory accidentally eliminated themselves. I don't recall anything wacky coming out of the "tagging out to anyone" stipulation of Four Corner Tag Matches in real life, so I figured I would go for that. And if I'm going to go for it, I might as well run with it all the way.

If you're going to use El Dandy to exclusively to job... that's fine.

Now that the tag team scenario at Wrestlemania has been unfolded... i wonder what new tag teams may come... but i know that it's going to be a good Wrestlemania moment the match between The Rockers and The Hart Foundation.

And if I ever need an Organic cut and haven't had a chance to make it myself(or am struggling to find a particular picture that you might have), I'll give you a ring. ^_^
