[WWF 1991] Gulf War Wrestling

<div style="text-align:center;">Wrestling Observer Newsletter World Wrestling Federation WrestleMania VII Sunday Week 4 March 1991 <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>-It is finally time for WrestleMania VII! This is the biggest show in the WWF calendar year. It will have some of the biggest matches of the year and this will include the main event where we will see the WWF Heavyweight title defended. In that match, we will see the current WWF Heavyweight Champion, The Ultimate Warrior, defend the title against the Royal Rumble winner Randy Savage! The Macho King has been on a roll in the WWF, winning the Royal Rumble and defeating The Immortal Hulk Hogan at The Wrestling Classic last month. Warrior, himself, has also been on a roll, defeating Sgt. Slaughter in back to back matches at the Royal Rumble and The Wrestling Classic. Last Monday, The Ultimate Warrior was arrested for striking a policeman. He issued an apology on WWF Superstars and promised to pick up the victory against The Macho King. Make sure you tune in to find out who walks away with the WWF Heavyweight title. -In another match, we will see a Snake Pit match featuring Stan Hansen and Jake Roberts. The objective of this match is to put your opponent inside the snake pit where there will be several different kinds of snakes. The Lariat made his debut at the Royal Rumble when he assaulted The Snake. The two have been feuding ever since and it has been building to this moment. Last Monday on Prime Time Wrestling it was revealed that Hansen has a phobia of snakes. That will definitely make him work harder in this Snake Pit match. With this match being no disqualification, a wild card just might be Sam Houston, Jake Roberts' brother. Could he be there at ringside? Could he come out during the match? Only one way to find out and that is to tune in and watch. -Another of the biggest matches of the year so far will feature two former WWF Heavyweight Champions. Those two men are Sgt. Slaughter and Hulk Hogan! Slaughter and Hogan have been on-again and off-again feuding since Slaughter began sympathizing with Iraq and Saddam Hussein. Hogan is an all-American wrestler and is prepared to stand up for Old Glory and the United States. Slaughter, on the other hand, has renounced the American way of life. He stands up at attention for the Iraqi flag. Only one of these two men will remain with the WWF after this night as their match is a Loser Leaves WWF match. Which of these two heavy hitters will remain with the company and which will be heading out the door? Make sure you watch to find out. -Thirty men will be in the ring when the Vince McMahon Senior Memorial Battle Royal match begins at WrestleMania VII. This match was announced at The Wrestling Classic by Vince McMahon Jr. and will feature a multitude of wrestlers, including battle royal specialist Andre the Giant, Demolition, The Rockers, Roddy Piper, Sid Vicious, Bam Bam Bigelow and more. With thirty wrestlers in the ring, this could be anyone's bout to win. It will include the one match return of S.D. Jones and the first match for Sid Vicious. The winner of this bout will receive a future WWF Heavyweight title shot. Only one man can win so make sure you watch. -The WWF Intercontinental title will be on the line in a best two out of three falls match when Mr. Perfect defends the belt against Ricky Steamboat. Last Monday, Perfect and his manager Bobby Heenan spoke with Stan Hansen, who had a match with Steamboat. Then, during the match, Hansen got disqualified because he wouldn't stop attacking Steamboat. We saw on WWF Superstars that Perfect and Heenan paid Hansen for this attack. Steamboat will not be one hundred percent at WrestleMania. But does he have enough left in the tank to win the Intercontinental title for the second time? -Plus we will see The Hart Foundation defending the WWF World Tag Team titles against The Russians, The Million Dollar Man defending the Million Dollar Belt against Virgil, The Undertaker against The British Bulldog, Eddie Gilbert taking on the replacement for Wahoo McDaniel and more right here on Prime Time Wrestling!</div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing WWF Intercontinental Title Match Best Two Out Of Three Falls Match Mr. Perfect defends vs. Ricky Steamboat Comments: Vince McMahon Senior Memorial Battle Royal Match Winner Receives A Future WWF Heavyweight Title Match Bam Bam Bigelow, Brooklyn Brawler, Buddy Landel, Crush, Dino Bravo, Earthquake, Hercules, Kato, Rick Martel, Sid Vicious, Smash, Tanaka, The Barbarian, The Warlord, Andre the Giant, Animal, Bill Volkoff, Dan Spivey, Don Muraco, Jim Duggan, Marcus Laurinaitis, Marty Jannetty, Mike Rotundo, Private Jim Nelson, Roddy Piper, S.D.

Though I can be honest and say that I use the 'sophie' cheat in every diary that I have had since I learned about it. That raises all user talents to maximum. Glad that you can't wait for Mania. I can say that I will be splitting it up into two parts. The first part will main event with Sgt. Slaughter versus Hulk Hogan and the second part will main event with The Ultimate Warrior versus Randy Savage. <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>I've been gone for a while; school's kept me super busy.

I have an Associate's Degree and a lot of classes toward a Bachelor's. Right now, due to health issues, I am not working or going to school. But that may change this year. I am glad that you feel like predicting regardless of winning or losing the contest. I love seeing people's predictions and who they think should win. It does help me steer the diary a little bit. I'm glad you've enjoyed the road to WrestleMania. Is there any specific match that you think has been built the best?

Thanks for the predictions and comments. I know that real life takes precedence over predicting on diaries but it's great to have you here. As far as the prediction contest goes, we actually have a winner in Nobby_McDonald. With ten wins and the next highest being eight, there's no way that anyone can catch him as this is the last show in the prediction contest. But I really do enjoy reading everyone's predictions and I hope that win or lose in the contest, people will keep predicting as we move forward.

lionsden03 · April 27, 2019

Personally, the Taker - Bulldog build is my favourite just because I love the "spooky" aspect of Taker. The start of the streak is also cool to see. Otherwise, Warrior - Savage is the most anticipated match for me.

The Undertaker vs. The British Bulldog

Comments: I always have a hard time picking against Undertaker and this is no exception.

The Million Dollar Man defends vs. Virgil

Comments: Think there´s just too big of a popularity cap to have Virgil going over without hurting MDM´s popularity quite badly.

Comments: I see Jake as bigger name so I go with him.

Eddie Gilbert vs. Wahoo's Replacement

Comments: With this feud being between Gilbert and Wahoo, I don´t see replament guy getting the win over one of the feuding sides.

WWF Heavyweight Title Match

The Ultimate Warrior defends vs. Randy Savage

Comments: I would normally go with Savage but I feel like you are building towards Warrior vs. Hogan and that means Warrior should win here.

Bobby Heenan escorts Mr. Perfect out to the ring while Ricky Steamboat comes to the ring by himself. When the bell sounds, the two men begin to showcase a clinic in technical wrestling with quick reversals ending up with both men on their feet. Early in the match, Perfect leaves the ring and begins talking with The Brain at ringside to try and determine a new strategy against The Dragon. Perfect returns to the ring and rakes the eyes of Steamboat, backing him into the corner. Perfect takes control in the ring, using a few restholds on Steamboat during this early going of their two out of three falls match. At one point, Perfect sends Steamboat out of the ring and Bobby Heenan catches Steamboat with a swift kick to the ribs! The crowd boos but the referee cannot call what he doesn't see and he was distracted by Mr. Perfect inside the ring. Steamboat manages to make it inside the ring before he can be counted out and Perfect goes right back on the attack. Perfect catches Steamboat with a vertical suplex in the center of the ring and then floats over for a two count. Perfect picks up Steamboat and Irish whips him into the corner. He walks over and grabs The Dragon, bringing him over with a snap mare and then a rolling neck snap. Perfect calls out that now it's time for a PerfectPlex. He picks up Steamboat and goes for the PerfectPlex but it's blocked by Steamboat. The Dragon rolls Perfect into a small package: One, Two, Three! Ricky Steamboat goes up 1 Fall To 0 at the 10:36 mark] [An angry Mr. Perfect gets to his feet and stomps on Ricky Steamboat. Perfect pulls up Steamboat but Steamboat thrusts Perfect's arms upward and then strikes him with a hard chop to the chest. Steamboat catches him with a thrust to the chest and then an arm drag. Perfect pops up and walks right into a standing dropkick. The Dragon gets the crowd behind him. He charges Perfect but Perfect ducks, grabbing the top rope and pulling it down. Steamboat goes tumbling over the top rope to the floor. Perfect slides out of the ring and goes to work on Steamboat's ribs. He strikes him with a few hard knee shots before grabbing him and running him back-first into the guardrail. Bobby Heenan captures the attention of the referee so that Perfect can grab a cable from the nearby camera. He uses the cable to choke Steamboat, drawing a lot of boos from the crowd. Perfect releases after several seconds and then tosses Steamboat back into the ring. Perfect joins Steamboat in the ring and rushes him with a running knee to the forehead. Both men appear to be wearing down slightly at this point in the match as both men have been through the ringer. Perfect looks down at Steamboat and pulls him, slapping him across the face! The crowd boos in the background as Perfect hooks Steamboat and then hooks the leg -- PerfectPlex: One, Two, Three! Mr. Perfect and Ricky Steamboat are tied at one fall apiece at the 17:21 mark.] [The winner of the next fall will be the WWF Intercontinental Champion! Mr. Perfect releases the PerfectPlex and then goes for it again but Ricky Steamboat blocks it! The Dragon shifts Perfect around and locks him in the Chicken Wing submission hold! He holds Perfect high up in the air but Perfect refuses to submit! Steamboat eventually is forced to release the hold and then grab his ribs, finding it difficult to breathe. The next few minutes are spent with Steamboat taking Perfect down and then grabbing his ribs, trying to focus on the next move. Steamboat takes down Perfect with a vertical suplex and then moves slowly, heading to the top turnbuckle. Steamboat slowly climbs to the top as Perfect uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet. Perfect staggers around as Steamboat balances on the top turnbuckle. Steamboat leaps with the Diving Cross Body but Perfect drops to the mat and Steamboat goes flying over him, crashing hard into the mat. Bobby Heenan looks smug at ringside, yelling for Perfect to finish the job. The match has been going for nearly 25 minutes! What an opening contest at WrestleMania VII! Perfect is the first to his feet and he drags Steamboat over into the corner. He catches Steamboat with another snap mare and then the rolling neck snap. Perfect says that it's over. He calls for another PerfectPlex! He picks up Steamboat and Steamboat immediately rolls him into the small package: One, Two, Kickout! The Brain nearly had an aneurysm at ringside. Both men get to their feet and exchange chops and punches in the center of the ring. Both men are definitely showing their stamina in this match. Perfect backs Steamboat to the ropes and then shoots him off to the other side. Perfect goes for the dropkick but Steamboat holds the top rope and Perfect hits only air.

I am Mean Gene Okerlund and I am standing here with my guest at this time: Sid Vicious. Sid, in just a few moments, you will be stepping into a thirty man battle royal with a future WWF Heavyweight title shot on the line. Can I get your thoughts about this battle royal and your first WWF match?" [sid Vicious:] "Gene Okerlund, it goes like this, take a good look at me. I am 6 foot 9 inches and weigh over three hundred pounds. Do you really think there's anyone in this battle royal that can throw me over the top rope? You've got idiots like S.D. Jones and Sam Houston. You've got has-beens like Roddy Piper and guys who will never be like Jim Duggan or the Brooklyn Brawler. I am in the World Wrestling Federation to create havoc and destroy wrestlers. Last Monday night I destroyed the battle royal mystique of another guy in this battle royal tonight, Andre the Giant. I managed to get him over the top rope. That's something that not a lot of people can say that they've done on their own." [Gene Okerlund:] "That was quite an impressive feat. That --" [sid Vicious:] "Shut up, little man. This is my time to talk. When I step into the ring here at WrestleMania I am going to prove to you and to everyone else that I am the master and the ruler of the world and that everyone else will just fall underneath my feet." [Vicious turns and storms off, obviously heading to the ring.] [Gene Okerlund:] "Well, he is quite the intense wrestler. Now, let's head back to Gorilla, Vince and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan as we go to the ring and the Vince McMahon Senior Memorial Battle Royal."

Some quick early eliminations include men like the Orient Express, who get eliminated by The Rockers, S.D. Jones, who is tossed out by Sid Vicious, and the Brooklyn Brawler, who is also eliminated by Sid Vicious. Vicious goes on a tear early on in the battle royal until he comes face-to-face with Andre the Giant. Vicious and Andre exchange blows in the center of the ring with Andre taking Vicious down with a headbutt! Andre tries to eliminate Vicious but Vicious holds the top rope, keeping himself in the ring. Another major moment coming from this battle royal sees Marty Jannetty holding Bam Bam Bigelow. Shawn Michaels moves in with a Superkick but Bigelow dodges and the Superkick catches Jannetty on the chin, sending him over the top rope to the floor. Michaels looks upset at what he did and he gets grabbed from behind by Bigelow, tossed over the top rope. Another moment in the battle royal sees Animal doing battle with Demolition, continuing their feud. 'The Terminator' Marcus Laurinaitis joins Animal in battling with Demolition and they manage to eliminate both Smash and Crush! Animal and The Terminator high five before turning back to the rest of the wrestlers where Laurinaitis is hit with a Sid Vicious clothesline and sent over the top rope. Vicious quickly eliminates Animal soon after. Vicious definitely has the most eliminations of anyone in this match.] [The final four of the battle royal include Roddy Piper and Andre the Giant on one side and Sid Vicious and Earthquake on the other side. Piper is definitely the small man of the group but he's also the one with the most fire. He goes right after Earthquake, while Vicious and Andre return their fight. Piper manages to jump on the back of Earthquake and lock in the Sleeper! Earthquake staggers around, trying to reach back and yank Piper off his back but Piper manages to evade the grasp. Earthquake begins staggering toward the ropes and Piper drops down to the mat. He shoves Earthquake, using Earthquake's momentum to send him over the top rope! Earthquake has been eliminated! Then there were three. On the other side of the ring, Sid Vicious and Andre the Giant have been exchanging blows. Roddy Piper steps back and just watches the fight between these two larger than life athletes. The eighth wonder of the world is knocked back against the ropes. Sid Vicious grabs him and begins lifting him over the top rope. Vicious is showing his power as he lifts Andre, sending Andre up over the top rope. During this time, Roddy Piper rushes over and uses the momentum of Sid Vicious eliminating Andre the Giant to toss Sid Vicious over the top rope to the floor!

Gene Okerlund standing by here with a true American hero Hulk Hogan. Hulk, later on tonight you will be stepping inside the ring with that turncoat Sgt. Slaughter in a match where the Loser Leaves the World Wrestling Federation. What are your plans against the former American hero?" [Hulk Hogan:] "Well, let me tell you something, Mean Gene. I was just as surprised as anyone when Sgt. Slaughter turned his back on the USA, brother. I just didn't understand it at the time but now I know that this was Sgt. Slaughter showing his true colors. He showed that he doesn't have allegiance to anyone or anything. That was proven when he attacked General Adnan. He doesn't know a thing about loyalty, brother. But the Hulkster knows all about that. The Hulkster and all of his Hulkamaniacs show a loyalty to the red, white and blue. We show an adherence to saying prayers and taking vitamins. When Sgt. Slaughter steps in the ring with me tonight, brother, he's not just facing me. He's facing all the true red, white and blue Hulkamaniacs in the building. He's facing all the soldiers that have fought and died for this country, dude. You want to know my plan against Sgt. Slaughter? It's to drop him with the power of the red, the white and the blue.

It would be an utter disgrace. Virgil, you are a loser. You were a loser when I found you and not even someone with my resources could elevate you into the upper class.

Virgil raises a fist to cheers from the crowd. The former bodyguard walks to the ropes and then slides out of the ring. He gives chase to DiBiase around the ring until he comes face-to-chest with Hercules, who steps in his path. Virgil stares at Hercules for a moment as DiBiase slides back out of the ring behind him. DiBiase grabs Virgil from behind and runs him right into the ring post! DiBiase tosses Virgil back in the ring and joins him. DiBiase picks up Virgil and drops him with a body slam in the middle of the ring before making a cover. He only scores a two count as Virgil slips out the back. DiBiase checks with the referee before returning to Virgil. He picks up Virgil and drops him with a snap suplex. He continues to take control for the next several minutes before he climbs onto the second turnbuckle. He leaps with a forearm smash to the head of Virgil from the second turnbuckle. DiBiase makes a quick cover:] [....1.... ....2.... ...Kickout!] [Virgil with a big kickout! Ted DiBiase looks surprised at Virgil kicking out. DiBiase picks up Virgil and goes for the Million Dollar Dream but Virgil quickly fights his way to the ropes to break the hold attempt. The referee steps in for a break, pulling DiBiase back. With the referee distracted, Hercules strikes Virgil with a punch from outside the ring. DiBiase laughs as he looks down at Virgil before dropping to his knees and laying with his back on Virgil. He scores a two count before Virgil turns it over so that DiBiase's shoulders are on the mat. DiBiase manages to kick out before the three count. Both men get to their feet and they land a double clothesline, knocking both men to the mat. The referee begins the ten count but both men use the ropes to get to their feet and break the count. Virgil moves in and strikes DiBiase with three straight forearm shots, knocking him back in the corner. Virgil climbs up and begins raining down punches on The Million Dollar Man! It is beginning to look like Virgil might become the next Million Dollar Man Champion! Virgil drops down after ten punches and catches DiBiase with the Russian Legsweep! Virgil makes the cover but the referee is distracted by Slick! Virgil could have gotten a five count on DiBiase! He gets to his feet and sees Slick on the apron with the referee. He walks over and grabs Slick as Hercules enters the ring. Hercules grabs The Million Dollar Man and drags him out of the ring. He tosses DiBiase over his shoulder as Slick manages to free himself and drop off the apron. Slick grabs the Million Dollar title belt and joins Hercules and DiBiase.

Slaughter vs. Hulk Hogan [As we go back to the ring, we are shown that the entrance ramp has members of our Armed Forces lining up on either side. All branches of the military are represented as they stand at attention. 'Real American' begins to play and the military men go into a salute. Hulk Hogan walks out from the back and salutes the members of the Armed Forces from the top of the ramp before walking toward the ring. As Hogan passes them, they turn and begin making their way to the back in pairs. Hogan enters the ring and begins posing, drawing loud cheers and a loud 'USA' chant from this capacity crowd. Hogan cups his ear to get even more cheers before moving back to his corner. The music for Sgt. Slaughter begins to play and the focus turns to the top of the ramp. Slaughter drives at the top of the ramp in a tank and he waves the Iraqi flag. Boos pour in from this crowd as Slaughter steps free from the tank and begins making his way toward the ring. Slaughter sets the flag in his corner when he gets to the ring before stepping inside and looking across toward Hogan. The two men begin talking from their separate corners as the announcers remind everyone at home that the loser of this match will officially be gone from the WWF. Referee Joey Marella calls for the bell and it's time for this huge match to begin.] [The USA chant fills the arena as Hulk Hogan and Sgt. Slaughter get into an intense staredown in the middle of the ring. Slaughter mocks Hogan by cupping his ear and listening to the boos that echo through the arena here in L.A. Hogan rips off his t-shirt and then cups his ear to the crowd and gets loud cheers from the fans. He begins another USA chant that only serves to anger Sgt. Slaughter. Slaughter stomps his feet and then begins throwing punches to Hogan! Hogan absorbs the punches and fires back! The two men stand in the center of the ring and exchange blows back and forth until Hogan manages a block and fires a second in a row. Hogan knocks Slaughter back to the ropes and then whips him across -- Big Boot -- NO! Slaughter holds onto the ropes and then quickly escapes the ring to catch a breath. Hogan fires up the crowd by grabbing the United States flag from ringside and waving it in the ring. Hogan sets the flag back down as Slaughter enters the ring and Slaughter strikes Hogan with a double sledge from behind. Slaughter grabs Hogan and rams his head into the top turnbuckle before dragging him to the center of the ring and bringing him down with a body slam. Slaughter drops an elbow and makes the cover: One, Two, Kickout! Slaughter takes control for the next several minutes of the bout though things seem a little awkward between the two top superstars, showcasing the fact that they don't have any chemistry whatsoever in the ring. Slaughter focuses on the back of Hogan, including bringing him over his knee with a backbreaker. Slaughter stands and looks to the Iraqi flag at ringside, giving it a salute as the crowd boos. Hogan gets in a few shots during this time but Slaughter continues to hold the control in the match. Nearing the ten minute mark, Slaughter signals for the finish and stomps on Hogan's back before locking in the Camel Clutch!] [....Referee Joey Marella asks Hogan if he submits but Hogan refuses...] [....Slaughter cranks back on the Camel Clutch and the referee, again, checks with Hogan but it looks like The Immortal might have passed out....] [....Referee Joey Marella checks Hogan's arm once and it drops....] [....Referee Joey Marella checks Hogan's arm a second time and it drops....] [....Referee Joey Marella checks Hogan's arm a third time and it dr -- NO!

Hogan gets to his feet and then drops backward, crushing Slaughter underneath his weight. Both men are down on the mat and referee Joey Marella begins the ten count. He reaches three before both men begin to stir. He reaches six when Sgt. Slaughter makes it to his feet. He stomps over to Hogan, who is just reaching his feet. Slaughter catches Hogan with a clothesline that takes Hogan off his feet. Slaughter resumes control before he points to the Iraqi flag. He walks over and picks up the flag, waving it before setting it back at ringside. He turns back to the fallen Hogan and drops an elbow, making the cover: One, Two, Kickout! Hogan nearly throws Slaughter across the ring with the kickout before getting to his knees and shaking with energy. Slaughter walks over and throws a punch that Hogan doesn't sell. Slaughter with another punch and another but Hogan just pushes his way to his feet. He looks toward Slaughter and points before wagging his finger. Slaughter goes for another punch but Hogan blocks it. Hogan with a punch, punch, punch! He whips Slaughter to the ropes -- Big Boot! Hogan cups his ear, drawing in loud cheers from the crowd. He bounces off the ropes -- Legdrop! The Legdrop connects on Sgt. Slaughter! Hogan makes the cover, hooking the leg:] [....1.... ....2.... ....3!] Winner: Hulk Hogan (Via Pinfall @ 19:31) Match Rating: B-</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="IgVTyNW.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/IgVTyNW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:right;"></div> <img alt="JWmlEDf.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/JWmlEDf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> [Hulk Hogan has done it!

The Immortal Hulk Hogan stands tall in the center of the ring as the arena fills with chants of 'USA, USA, USA!' Hogan walks over to his corner and grabs the American flag, beginning to wave old glory in the center of the ring. 'Real American' begins to play in the background as Hogan poses in the center of the ring. With Hogan posing, Sgt. Slaughter begins to recover in the ring and moves to his knees, realizing what has just happened. He slams his fists angrily to the mat and then rolls out of the ring. He grabs the Iraqi flag and walks toward the back as Hogan continues to pose. With Slaughter gone, Hogan celebrates alone inside the ring. A feel-good moment right now for all Americans as the first half of WrestleMania VII comes to a close.]</div></blockquote></div>

WWF WRESTLEMANIA VII!

Sunday Week 4 March 1991

Location: Staples Center (South West)

Attendance: 20,000

Overall Rating: A*

PPV Buyrate: .58//.19

[With USA chants raining in the background, we are taken to the backstage locker room area once again. This time there is no Mean Gene. Instead, standing with the WWF Heavyweight title strapped around his waist is The Ultimate Warrior.]

[The Ultimate Warrior:] "Macho King, tonight, you will be taking your kingdom and bringing your fighters into Parts Unknown. You will be walking into the kingdom of the Warriors. What you have not realized yet is that this is a fight that you cannot win. You cannot hope to defeat the warriors that give me their strength tonight. You cannot hope to beat the power of The Ultimate Warrior. Tonight, I will take your sceptor and your crown and throw them to the ground because you are a false king. You have no power here in the World Wrestling Federation. You have no power against me, Macho King. Tonight, I will show you the true power of a warrior and it is your destiny to be DESTROYED!"

[The Ultimate Warrior snarls and growls before we are taken to the ring once again.]

Match #6

WWF World Tag Team Titles Match
The Hart Foundation defend vs. The Russians

[Tag team action here at WrestleMania sees The Hart Foundation defend the WWF World Tag Team titles against The Russians. Like with the last match, a USA chant begins in the crowd here in Los Angeles. Though neither team is from the United States so it could go against either team here tonight. But it seems to give a little strength to The Hart Foundation as they start out strong in the match, managing to bring Ivan Koloff in their corner and use quick tags in and out to keep a focus on the right arm of The Russian Bear. On commentary, Gorilla Monsoon reminds us that if Ivan's right arm is useless he cannot hit the Russian Sickle or lock in a bear hug. With Jim Neidhart in the ring, Ivan manages to grab him by the beard and throw him to the mat. Ivan makes a quick tag to nephew Nikita, who comes in and quickly assaults Neidhart. Nikita lifts Neidhart and brings him down with a body slam before yelling at the crowd, who are quick to yell back at him. Nikita lifts Neidhart back up and The Anvil avoids a punch and fires one back of his own. The two men exchange clotheslines, knocking both to the mat. Both men move toward their corners and Neidhart tags in Bret, while Nikita tags in Uncle Ivan. Ivan rushes toward Bret, who ducks an attempt at a Russian Sickle. Bret knocks Ivan back in the corner of The Hart Foundation and catches him with a monkey flip. After a couple of quick tags, we're nearing the ten minute mark with Ivan still in the ring with The Anvil. Neidhart sends Ivan to the ropes and brings him to the mat with a big back body drop. The Anvil makes the cover:]

[....1....

....2....

...Broken Up By Nikita Koloff]

[Almost a pinfall there by Jim Neidhart on Ivan Koloff but it was broken up by Nikita Koloff. Nikita puts another boot to the face of Neidhart and in comes The Hitman. Bret Hart tries to go after Nikita but the referee steps in, ushering Bret back to his corner. In the meantime, Nikita drags Ivan to the corner and tags himself in. Nikita comes in the ring and shows his power when he throws Jim Neidhart to the mat with a suplex. He tosses Neidhart out of the ring and then joins him at ringside. He Irish whips The Anvil into the guardrail before following him in and sending him over the guardrail and into the first row with a punch. The first row fans are definitely getting their money's worth in this match. Nikita breaks the count and then comes back out, bringing Neidhart back over the guardrail with a vertical suplex onto the mats at ringside. The Russian Nightmare tosses Neidhart back inside the ring and joins him there. Nikita walks over to Bret and slaps him, drawing The Hitman into the ring. The referee is right there to escort Hart back to his corner, allowing a double team vertical suplex by The Russians on Neidhart. Neidhart tries to fight back briefly but he is undone by the constant cheating of The Russians. Around the seventeen minute mark, Nikita taunts Hart one more time and The Hitman comes in, only to be grabbed by the referee. This referee distraction allows Nikita time to grab the chain from ringside. He pulls up Neidhart -- Russian Sickle with the chain! What a sick move! Nikita tosses the chain to ringside and in the opposite corner Ivan yanks Hart off the apron. Ivan rams Hart into the guardrail while Nikita covers Neidhart:]

[....1....

....2....

....3!]

Winners: The Russians (Via Pinfall @ 17:46)
Match Rating: B

[We have new WWF World Tag Team Champions but not without controversy. The fans are unhappy about that decision but there's nothing they can do. Instead, we go backstage where we see Jake Roberts is standing by ready to cut a promo.]

[Jake Roberts:] "Stan Hansen, I'm going to be honest with you right now. You are tough competition. You are a great wrestler known the world over. But you made a big mistake when you arrived here in the World Wrestling Federation. That mistake is that you attacked a Snake and didn't cut off his head. I survived and now you know that I am coming after you tonight here at WrestleMania VII. But I'm not the only one coming after you. No, there's a guy here that I call Damian that is also coming for you. I can tell you this, I haven't given him any food this weekend. Why? Because I want to make sure that he is hungry. I want to make sure that tonight when you get tossed in that Snake Pit Damian and the other snakes are ready to bite you and drag your whole body inside their mouths. We all know now after this past Monday night that you are afraid of snakes. Your fear is what will keep you from defeating me. You see, I have no fear. I live with the source of fear for many people. That lack of fear is what will bring me to victory. Trust me."

[Roberts smiles an almost unsettling smile before he turns and walks off. It's time for the Snake Pit match.]

Match #7

Snake Pit Match
Stan Hansen vs. Jake Roberts

[During the introductions, we are shown the snake pit, which is set up at the top of the ramp. Different kinds of snakes are shown slithering around the pit, waiting for their dinner. The camera zooms in on Damian before we go back to the ring where both Jake Roberts and Stan Hansen are waiting and the bell sounds. In the beginning, Gorilla Monsoon reminds everyone that there is no DQ and no count out in this match. The only way to win is to put your opponent in the snake pit. The two men immediately begin brawling in the center of the ring, exchanging punches until Hansen gets the advantage by, well, spitting his chew into the eyes of The Snake. Hansen knocks Roberts back to the ropes and then charges in, clotheslining him and sending him over the top rope to the floor at ringside. Hansen joins him outside the ring and runs him straight into the ring post, pushing him down on the mats. Hansen begins putting the boots to him and takes control for several minutes, keeping Roberts down around ringside, though, and nowhere near the snake pit at the top of the ramp. With total control, Hansen goes for a vertical suplex on the mats at ringside but Roberts manages to block it. The crowd cheers as Roberts reverses the hold, bouncing Hansen's body off the guardrail before bringing him down with the suplex on the mats. Both men lay on the mats but there is no official count because the only way that someone can win the match is by putting the other person in the snake pit.]

[both men make it to their feet and Roberts grabs Hansen, landing a headbutt before dragging Hansen up along the rampway. The crowd rises on their feet as the wrestlers get closer and closer to that snake pit. The camera focuses in on the snake pit, showing the snakes slithering around. Back to the wrestlers and Jake Roberts lands a body slam before grabbing his back for a moment in pain. The two men have been battling for over ten minutes now. Roberts summons his energy and pulls up Hansen running him toward the snake pit but Hansen reverses at the last moment and Roberts stops just on the edge of the pit. Hansen rushes with the Lariat but Roberts ducks and Hansen nearly drops into the pit! Hansen's eyes go wide and he falls backward, crawling away from the pit. Roberts walks over and Hansen hits him with a low blow. There's no disqualifications in this match so the referee can't do anything about it! But there's someone who can! Here comes Jake Roberts' brother Sam Houston! Houston jumps on Hansen's back as he has stood up! Hansen swings around, surprised by this but he manages to toss Houston over onto the floor of the ramp. Houston pops up and is taken down by a Lariat. The distraction, though, allows Jake Roberts time to recover. Hansen turns his attention back to The Snake and takes a kick to the gut -- DDT on the ramp! Roberts lands a DDT on the ramp! Roberts stands up and looks around at the crowd before grabbing his brother and helping him to his feet. The two of them grab Hansen and drag him toward the snake pit. The two brothers toss Stan Hansen over the edge and Jake Roberts picks up the win!]

Winner: Jake Roberts (Via Trapping Finish @ 18:46)
Match Rating: B

[While officials work on getting Stan Hansen out of the snake pit, we are taken to a promo featuring Randy Savage and Sensational Queen Sherri.]

[Randy Savage:] "Ohhhh yeah! Sensational Queen Sherri, we are only a short time away from the elevation of the Macho King to the WWF Heavyweight Champion! Tonight, the Macho King is coming for the major title that will bring him right to the top of the World Wrestling Federation. That means an ascension to the throne here in the WWF and the Ultimate Warrior becomes the Ultimate Loser, yeah. Tonight, the Macho King is going to become the ultimate winner. Tonight, I ascend to my throne when I pin you, Ultimate Warrior, 1-2-3! Dig it!"

[The Macho King and Sensational Queen Sherri pose before we cut back to the ring.]

['Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert is already in the ring when we come back and out from the back comes Wahoo McDaniel to cheers from this capacity crowd. A Native American chant fills the arena as McDaniel stands at the top of the ramp. Gilbert is wearing the headdress that he stole from McDaniel last month. McDaniel holds up a microphone.]

[Wahoo McDaniel:] "Eddie Gilbert, you don't deserve to wear that headdress. You are no chief. I have been speaking to the great spirits and they have brought forth a warrior that won the battle of the tribes. I introduce to you, the warrior of the tribes, The War Eagle Chris Chavis!"

[The crowd gets on their feet as a brand new wrestler comes out from the back. He looks in the eyes of Wahoo McDaniel before he charges into the ring. He stands in the corner and releases a war cry before the bell sounds.]

Match #8

Eddie Gilbert vs. 'The War Eagle' Chris Chavis

[Our semi final match is the worst match of the night here at WrestleMania as the newcomer Chris Chavis takes on 'Hot Stuff' Eddie Gilbert. Not only does the bout have terrible wrestling but Chavis and Wahoo McDaniel don't seem to get along as much as one would like with McDaniel managing Chavis. Not to mention, Eddie Gilbert has a few mishaps during the match, his performance affected by hard drugs. The match is, however, a showcase match for the newcomer Chavis. Gilbert has a brief advantage during the match but Chavis is the main star of this contest. Chavis strikes Gilbert with a few chops and sends him to the ropes, catching him with a back body drop. Chavis plays to the crowd, releasing a Native American cry. As Wahoo McDaniel grabs the Native American headdress from Gilbert's corner, Chavis lifts Gilbert onto his shoulders -- Indian Death Drop! Chavis makes the cover: One, Two, Three!]

Winner: Chris Chavis (Via Pinfall @ 8:22)
Match Rating: D

[As Chris Chavis and Wahoo McDaniel celebrate in the ring, we are taken backstage where Gene Okerlund is standing by.]

[Gene Okerlund:] "Hello everyone, Mean Gene Okerlund here. We are just moments away from our main event where The Ultimate Warrior defends the WWF Heavyweight title against Randy Savage. Oh, wait, here comes Stan Hansen. Let me see if I can get a word with him."

[Stan Hansen stumbles onto the screen, looking shell-shocked after being in the Snake Pit earlier tonight.]

[Gene Okerlund:] "Stan, Stan! Do you have anything to say after what happened earlier tonight with the Snake Pit?"

[stan Hansen looks at Gene Okerlund with wild eyes for a few moments and then shakes his head. His body is trembling as he turns and walks off, not even saying a single word. Okerlund shrugs and sends us to the ring.]

Match #9

WWF Heavyweight Title Match
The Ultimate Warrior defends vs. Randy Savage

[it is main event time and what a huge main event we have for you tonight. The announcers are excited about the match and it begins with 'Pomp And Circumstances' playing in the background. The Macho King Randy Savage and Sensational Queen Sherri are sitting together atop a large throne that is carried to the ring by four muscular men. Sherri is doing the royal wave as they are taken down the ramp. The throne is settled perfectly so that both the Macho King and the Sensational Queen can simply step off the throne onto the apron of the ring. Savage holds the ropes open for Sherri and the two of them enter the ring. Savage twirls his finger in the air, adjusting his crown before handing the crown to Sherri. He holds the ropes open for her again and she exits the ring as Savage moves back to his corner. The throne is taken to the back by the servants and the music fades to 'Unstable.' The crowd rises on their feet in cheers as here comes The Ultimate Warrior! He huffs out his breath as he runs down the aisle. Instead of entering the ring right away, he runs around the ring instead. Then he slips inside and begins shaking the ropes to more cheers from this crowd here in Los Angeles. He takes off his belt and hands it to referee Earl Hebner, who has been assigned the referee for this match. Howard Finkel begins the introductions as Hebner shows the belt to Savage and then to Warrior. Hebner raises the title belt in the air for the fans to see before it is placed at ringside with the timekeeper. As soon as the introductions are done, Hebner calls for the bell and it's time for our WrestleMania main event!]

[The two men begin circling each other with Randy Savage feigning a move in and The Ultimate Warrior stepping forward. The two men lock up and Warrior showcases his power by pushing Savage back into a corner. Referee Earl Hebner steps in and asks for a clean break. Warrior raises his arms, stepping back only to have Savage slap him across the face! Savage quickly ducks under the ropes to get a break. Hebner pulls Warrior back and Savage just gives him a smile. The two men circle each other again and then lock up in the center of the ring. Warrior starts to push Savage back toward the corner again but Savage reverses it at the last minute, pressing Warrior back in the corner. Instead of a clean break, Savage throws some punches to the head and then chest. He grabs the arm of Warrior and Irish whips -- REVERSED! The Irish whip sends Savage into the corner and then up and over, falling to the mats at ringside. Warrior shakes the ropes, drawing the crowd into the match. Warrior steps back as Savage paces at ringside. Savage discusses strategy with Sensational Queen Sherri before he slides back in the ring. Warrior approaches Savage and the two lock up again with Warrior literally throwing Savage back into a corner. He follows immediately with a corner clothesline. Savage stumbles out from the corner and Warrior bounces off the ropes -- Sherri grabs his ankle but doesn't quite fully trip him. Warrior turns around to confront Sherri and takes a double sledge to the back from Savage. Warrior falls against the ropes and Savage bounces off the far ropes. He rushes in and grabs Warrior by the head, leaping over the top rope and hanging Warrior's neck on that top rope, landing at ringside. Warrior falls to the mat and Savage quickly slides back inside the ring. Savage places his forearm against the throat of Warrior for a four count before breaking. Savage makes a cover:]

[....1....

....2..

.Kickout!]

[Randy Savage checks with the referee before returning to work on The Ultimate Warrior. Within a few minutes, still in control, Randy Savage throws The Ultimate Warrior out of the ring to the floor. Savage gets the attention of the referee and Sensational Queen Sherri strikes Warrior with a kick to the ribs. Sherri rakes at Warrior's eyes and then backs off before the referee turns back around. Savage moves over to the turnbuckles and begins to climb to the top. A chant of 'Warrior' erupts through this capacity crowd. Savage leaps -- punch to the gut by The Ultimate Warrior! Warrior has somehow found his life once again! Savage crashes to the mats at ringside. Sherri approaches Warrior but Warrior backs her down. He turns back toward Savage and tosses him back in the ring. Warrior joins Savage in the ring and bounces off the ropes -- clothesline! Another clothesline from Warrior! A third and a fourth bring Savage right back down to the mat. Warrior picks up Savage from the mat and brings him over with a vertical suplex. The Ultimate Warrior stands upright and pounds his chest. Warrior makes the motion for the gorilla press slam. He looks down at the Macho King and then picks him up. He raises the Macho King up high in the air and begins pressing him with ease. The Ultimate Warrior drops Randy Savage with the gorilla press slam down on his stomach. Warrior bounces off the ropes and hits Savage with the Running Splash! Warrior stands and pounds his chest before making the cover, hooking the leg:]

[....1....

....2....

....3....

....4?....]

[The Ultimate Warrior remains on top of Randy Savage but the referee isn't there. Instead, the referee is with Sensational Queen Sherri who hopped up on the apron. Warrior stands up looking around and sees the referee with Sherri. Warrior begins walking toward Sherri when a mysterious blonde woman jumps the guardrail. She grabs Sherri by the leg and yanks her off the apron, throwing a slap that knocks Sherri to the ground! She mounts Sherri and begins grabbing her by the hair, shaking her back and forth. Earl Hebner climbs out of the ring and calls for help as he tries to separate the two women. Back in the ring, Savage is recovering and strikes Warrior with a low blow! The crowd boos but the referee didn't see the low blow. It drops Warrior to his knees and Savage heads to the top turnbuckle again. He leaps and catches Warrior with the flying double axehandle to the skull! The Macho King grabs his sceptor from his corner and strikes Warrior in the head with it! He tosses the sceptor out of the ring and then heads to the top turnbuckle. The Macho King takes aim, raising his arms in the air. He leaps and catches Warrior with a Flying Elbow Drop! He walks over and yells for Earl Hebner to come back in the ring. Multiple officials and security members have come out and grabbed the blonde woman, taking her to the back. Earl Hebner slides back inside the ring and Savage makes the cover:]

[....1....

....2....

...Kickout!]

[The crowd erupts with the kickout! Another 'Warrior' chant breaks through this crowd in Los Angeles as Randy Savage looks absolutely gobsmacked. The Ultimate Warrior has kicked out of the Flying Elbow Drop! Savage gets into an argument with referee Earl Hebner, shoving the referee back in a corner. Hebner shoves Savage, knocking him backward! Hebner warns Savage that he can disqualify him at any moment. Savage turns back to The Ultimate Warrior and lifts Warrior to his feet. He sends Warrior to the ropes and the two hit a double clothesline, sending both men to the mat. By this point, both men are looking a little tired. The referee begins the count on both men with Sensational Queen Sherri back up at ringside. Sherri yells for Savage to get up and Warrior begins shaking the ropes as the fans get involved with claps and chants for 'Warrior!' Warrior shakes the bottom rope and then moves to the middle and then to the top when he stands. Savage is also making his way to his feet. Savage turns around toward Warrior and a tired Ultimate Warrior takes him down with a clothesline. Warrior bounces off the ropes and goes for the Running Splash but Savage gets his knees up! Warrior slams down hard into the knees of the Macho King. Savage rolls Warrior off and then pulls himself up using the ropes. Savage grabs Warrior and lifts him with a body slam, putting Warrior in the right position. The crowd boos, worried as Savage climbs to the top turnbuckle once again. Savage raises his arms and then leaps -- Flying Elbow Drop! He connects but doesn't go for the cover. Instead, he heads back to the top turnbuckle. He takes aim -- Flying Elbow Drop! Two in a row on The Ultimate Warrior! Savage finally makes the cover, hooking the leg:]

[....1....

....2....

....3!]

Winner: Randy Savage (Via Pinfall @ 21:35)
Match Rating: A

[The crowd is absolutely stunned as we have a new WWF Heavyweight Champion! One year ago, The Ultimate Warrior defeated Hulk Hogan and now The Macho King Randy Savage is the new WWF Heavyweight Champion! Savage rolls off The Ultimate Warrior and is on his knees in the middle of the ring. Sensational Queen Sherri slides into the ring with the WWF Heavyweight title belt. Sherri hands the belt to the Macho King and he gets to his feet. Sherri leaps into the arms of Savage and he hugs her before setting her down. Savage gets his arm raised by the referee as the crowd begins to boo loudly. This is the first time that a bad guy has won the main event of WrestleMania. 'Pomp And Circumstances' plays in the background as Randy Savage raises the title belt high in the air. Savage moves to a corner and climbs up, raising the title belt there. We have entered a new age, the era of The Macho King Randy Savage! Savage and Sherri continue to celebrate in the ring as Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan sign off, reminding everyone to tune in to Prime Time Wrestling tomorrow night. Congratulations to The Macho King Randy Savage!]

Personally, the Taker - Bulldog build is my favourite just because I love the "spooky" aspect of Taker. The start of the streak is also cool to see. Otherwise, Warrior - Savage is the most anticipated match for me.

Thanks for the reply, lionsden03! I also really love the spooky aspect of The Undertaker. I hope that I continue to show that aspect as we move forward. As for the second most anticipated match, I hope that I wrote that one to fit a WrestleMania main event. I hope that you and everyone enjoyed the write-up for that match.

WWF Million Dollar Title Match
The Million Dollar Man defends vs. Virgil
Comments: Think there´s just too big of a popularity cap to have Virgil going over without hurting MDM´s popularity quite badly.

Hey Zergon! Thanks for the predictions and comments! Believe it or not, it didn't hurt DiBiase's popularity quite as bad as one might have thought. I just felt with it being WrestleMania that Virgil needed to pick up the win.

The who does the what that does what?!

Hey EBEZA. Yeah, I like to use that cheat because it helps with a lot of different things, including the backstage rating and negotiations with wrestlers. You just type in sophie in the remote assistance area.

Thank you for everyone that has been reading so far. Right now, there will be a light hiatus for this diary as I prepare to work toward June's King Of The Ring as the next major pay-per-view event. April and May might have smaller events but the King Of The Ring will be the next big one.

The hiatus will also be done as I prepare to begin a diary in the Cornellverse based on United States Pro Wrestling. I have some major plans for that diary as I am hoping it will be my last before TEW 2020 comes out.

(OOC) I need to take a moment here to talk as me, Scott. I have received some terrible, heartbreaking news today. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks back. The prognosis is not good but I believe we have a miracle somewhere up our sleeve. Y'all are like a second family to me here so I need to ask for your thoughts and prayers for her. It's not something she's going completely public with but none of my relatives read here or anything so I don't have to worry about that. Thank you all for your prayers ahead of time. Love you all.

Nobby_McDonald · May 20, 2019

Shit, terrible news. Fingers crossed for her (don't do prayers, I'm not religious so it would be hypocritical for me to do so).

Zergon · May 21, 2019

That´s really bad news. Hope you will all be alright in the end and all the strenght and good wishes to her and you and rest of your loved ones.

lionsden03 · May 26, 2019

So sorry to hear that. Prayers up to your family.

We have learned that the Macho King will kick things off here on Prime Time Wrestling with a new champion's celebration! What will this celebration entail? The only way to find out is to make sure you're tuned in to the USA network in America, TSN in Canada, Sky Movies Plus in the British Isles or TV3 in the Scandinavia region of Europe. -The main event for this evening will feature two men who went in opposite directions last night at WrestleMania. The Million Dollar Man lost to Virgil by Count Out but retained the Million Dollar belt. Roddy Piper won the Vince McMahon Senior Memorial Battle Royal and became the new number one contender to Randy Savage and the WWF Heavyweight title. Let's be honest, the Hot Rod is not the kind of man to take money to lie down in a match so this is going to be a red hot match between these two superstars. Can the Million Dollar Champion right the ship or will the Rowdy Scot continue his winning ways? -Last week, the psycho known as Sid Vicious stepped into a WWF ring for the first time. This week, he has his first one on one match in the company when he steps in the ring with a member of the legendary Hart family Keith Hart. Hart is someone who, also, made his WWF debut recently. Both men must be looking for a big victory here tonight to go up the rankings in the WWF. Only one man can walk away with the victory. Make sure you tune in and find out which man heads to the winner's circle. -As announced last week, we will see the debut of The Barber Shop here on Prime Time Wrestling. This will be a new talk show segment hosted by none other than the Barber himself, Brutus Beefcake! Beefcake's first guests will be Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, The Rockers! The Rockers have been having a few issues recently, including Shawn Michaels accidentally super kicking Marty Jannetty during the Vince McMahon Senior Memorial Battle Royal and sending his partner over the top rope to eliminate him. Can The Barber work on getting these two men back on the same page? -Our first hour main event should be a hard-hitting contest on this night when Earthquake, along with manager Jimmy Hart, takes on former WWF Heavyweight Champion The Ultimate Warrior. Warrior lost the WWF Heavyweight title last night to Randy Savage so he will definitely not be in a good mood or in a good condition to fight. Earthquake can take advantage of this and pick up what some might term as an upset. It's hard to call it an upset, though, when you're looking at someone the size of Earthquake in the ring. -We will have a special announcement by WWF President Jack Tunney. No one except Tunney knows what this announcement will be. Make sure you tune in and find out. -Plus we will see Demolition take on Brian Costello and Brian Walsh, Mike Sharpe step in the ring with Native American War Eagle Chris Chavis and more coming to you on Prime Time Wrestling! </div></blockquote></div> Prediction Listing Mike Sharpe vs. Chris Chavis Comments: Demolition vs. Brian Costello and Brian Walsh Comments: Earthquake vs. The Ultimate Warrior Comments: Sid Vicious vs. Keith Hart Comments: The Million Dollar Man vs. Roddy Piper Comments: Thoughts On WrestleMania: Thoughts On Diary: === <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Nobby_McDonald" data-cite="Nobby_McDonald" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46192" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Shit, terrible news.

I really do appreciate all of it from my family here even if I haven't replied individually. As one may guess, this is a very difficult time for me and has gotten even more difficult with other health issues coming up. TEW 2016 and diary writing is a definite time that I can turn my focus from the real world and my problems and focus on something else. Sometimes we all need those moments away from 'reality.' I know that I said I was taking a break from this diary and focusing on a USPW diary. I am working on how I want to start that new diary. I have done nearly a full month in the game on that one. I have also been working on this diary in the background, as well. I feel I am ready to begin the predictions on this diary again. These predictions will go through King of the Ring in June.

Mike Sharpe vs. Chris Chavis

Comments: I was actually going to go with Sharpe as I had no idea who Chavis it. Luckily I did scroll down to check how the last PPV did go again and found out I should actually know who Chris is so yeah... I´m not paying much attention, I´m afraid. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Demolition vs. Brian Costello and Brian Walsh

Comments: Named team over random pairing

Earthquake vs. The Ultimate Warrior

Comments: Warrior gets some momentum back after dropping the belt

Sid Vicious vs. Keith Hart

Comments: Squash

The Million Dollar Man vs. Roddy Piper

Comments: I was actually going to go with MDM until I remembered that Roddy won the battle royal so Piper gets the win since he´s challenging Savage for the belt sooner or later.
