(Mystery Tag Team) vs. S.D. Jones/George Wells

Who will be returning to WWF after a lengthy absent of Raw next week?????<img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Who will make their debut against Paul Roma?Jerry Lawler??

How will Piper's Pit with Andre/Bobby Heenan go?

Not well, accusations will fly, Piper will stand nose to nose with Andre and challenge him for the title.

Will Hulk Hogan show his face after his biggest defeat?

Hogan will not show his face as he has gone off to film John Carpenter's newest movie for release next year called They Live!

WWF Monday Night Raw April Week 1, 1987

WWF Monday Night Raw

Monday Night Raw is live from Milwaukee County Stadium with a sell-out crowd of 53,192 in attendance. Vince McMahon, Jesse Ventura, and Gorilla Monsoon on commentary.

Real American hits and the crowd starts to cheer and Hulk Hogan comes down to the ring without the WWF World Championship.

Hulk Hogan: “I’m sorry brothers. I let all my Hulkamaniacs down last night. I know Bobby “The Weasel” Heenan lies through his teeth, but I’ve known Andre for a long time. He never tells a lie, and he said he was going to defeat me and he did. I have only one man to blame for the loss last night. That’s myself. I let trying to lift Andre in the air be my priority. I knew that if I slammed him it would be game over, but I couldn’t. I let that be my downfall and I let every Hulkamaniac down. Everybody in the Pontiac Silverdome, all the people watching Wrestlemania 3 live, and all the millions of viewers tonight who turned on their television sets waiting to see Hulk Hogan come out wearing the WWF World Championship. As you can tell it didn't happen and I wanted to let my fans know that Hulk Hogan will be back and when I do I’ll be ready to face Andre The Giant. I’m going to take a little break, get my mind, body, and heart 100% ready to reclaim the gold.”

Hulk Hogan waves to the crowd before walking to the back.

Roddy Piper: “I’m always going to miss that good Bobby Heenan humor. You know I’ve always wanted to get my hands on you, but now is not the time for that. That’s because it’s not about you. It’s about Andre winning the WWF World Champion. I think..”

Bobby Heenan: “I think you are going to say it’s the greatest thing in professional wrestling history.”

Roddy Piper: “I wasn’t going to say that, I think it would have been better if we didn’t have to hear your loud mouth talking about it every moment you get about how your Heenan Family is the greatest thing. All those guys could make it on their own. Andre was undefeated 15 years before you started managing him. Pretty good record if you ask me.”

I have to say, you did some good work with this dynasty. That WrestleMania was jam packed and it was quite interesting. I definitely dig the concept of bringing in Raw now. I'm beginning to realize how difficult it is to make a product with just two "B" shows.

Besides all of that though, I read through this and enjoy it a lot. I'll for sure be paying attention to this one. Not to mention, I thought your prediction questions were great during the Raw episodes. Looking forward to making some predictions myself next go around.

I thought about making Superstars the A show, but I wanted to make it like Vince seeing how big wrestling was then to make the jump to primetime and monthly events. Predictions are up and the next show will be dropping in the next day or two. So tell me what you think will happen and as always leave feedback, because I like to hear your viewpoints.

Bruno Sammartino vs. The Assassin

- I think Bruno still gots it in him to earn the victory.

Scott Casey vs. Butch Reed (w/Slick)

- Easy win for Reed.

George Steele vs. Randy Savage (w/Miss Elizabeth)

- I got to say Savage, though I could see Steele's obessesion with Elizabeth play a role in this turning into a count out.

S.D. Jones vs. Dino Bravo (w/Frenchy Martin)

Can-Am Connection vs. Paul Orndorff/Rick Rude (w/Bobby Heenan)

- Ordnorff & Rude is a combination that I really like. Maybe they can eventually solve their differences? Either way, Ordnorff will help get Rude over.

???/British Bulldogs vs. ???/Hart Foundation

- Jake Roberts for Bulldogs, Mr. Perfect for Hart Foundation

King Kong Bundy vs. (Hillbilly Jim picked opponent)

- One if the Godwinns?

Ken Patera vs. Harley Race (w/Bobby Heenan)

- I think it'll be a cheap victory.

What family member(s) will Hillbilly Jim bring in to fight King Kong Bundy?

- I'm guessing one of the Godwinn brothers, but I'm probably way off.

Who will be Jimmy Hart's new client joining the Hart Foundation in their match? Perhaps, Mr. Perfect?

Who will the British Bulldogs get to even the odds?

Jake Roberts

Will Hulk Hogan return to Monday Night Raw?

Yes

What do you think about Fuji Vice and who the mystery attackers are? The Islanders

I’m so glad Hogan signed the contract and didn’t even look in the fine print. Hogan if you lose it’s over. It states that Hogan can’t challenge Andre for another title shot. He’s going to go to the back of the line and he’s going to be a long time before he gets another chance at Andre. Tonight, we are going to show what Andre does to your heroes. Pedro Morales is about to come down and get manhandled by The Giant.” Segment Rating – 86 Andre The Giant (w/Bobby Heenan) vs. Pedro Morales Andre showcases his size as he dominates the former WWF World Champion.
