Broadcasting Rating - 4.26

 

The show opened with our announcers Gorilla Monsoon, Lord Alfred Hayes and Roddy Piper welcoming WWF President Jack Tunney and his new assistant Vince McMahon to the ring. Tunney announced that at the Royal Rumble WWF Champion The Ultimate Warrior would come up against his largest test to date when he would face the monster Earthquake, much to the crowds delight! [73]

Legion of Doom V The Bushwakers

V

The first contest of the night took place between the Legion of Doom and The Bushwakers. A fairly short match was dominated by the LOD with Animal picking up the win over Luke after hitting the Doomsday Device. [62]

 

Next out came Mr Perfect with his manager Bobby Heenan claiming he was growing tired of the bums in the back and issued an open challenge to anyone who thinks they could take on perfection and beat him for his Intercontinental title. [86]

 

Gorilla Monsoon quickly sent some cameras to the back stage area where the father son duo of Dusty and Dustin Rhodes were laid out with the Nasty Boys stood over them yelling that they weren’t welcome in the WWF as the Nasty’s run this place. [91]

 

Mr Perfect w/Bobby Heenan V Tugboat

Intercontinental Title Match

V

Mr Perfect’s open invitation was answered by Tugboat much to the crowds delight. The crowd were firmly behind Tugboat in this back and forth match, however after a grueling 9 minute plus match perfection was too hard to over come and Mr Perfect picked up the win, and retained his title with a flying forearm. [73]

 

Earthquake w/Jimmy Hart V Hacksaw Jim Duggan

V

The final contest of the evening was between number one contender Earthquake and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Duggan was able to drum up massive USA chants through out the match. The commentators pointed out that The Ultimate Warrior might be strong, but would he be able to lift the giant Earthquake at Royal Rumble? Quake’s size proved too much for Hacksaw, and to a chorus of boos he hit a devastating big splash to pick up the 1,2,3 and build up some momentum for his up coming title match. [71]

 

Just as the show was about to go off air Sgt Slaughter was seen in the back addressing a room of 6 men, all sat at desks listening to him. He thanked them all for their application to join the Anti American Association. He pointed to a stack of paperwork and said these were the latest applications of those who also wanted to join the Triple A. He picked up half the paper applications and threw them in the bin stating he didn’t want anyone that unlucky working for him! He tossed two black armbands with AAA printed in red on the table in front of the men. He bellowed this is where their journey begins in taking out Triple A enemy number 1 and he slammed a knife into the back of the door as he left the room. He shouted to the men, “COME AND JOIN ME WHEN THERES ONLY TWO OF YOU LEFT”. The men got to their feet and begun to roll up their sleeves as the camera panned across to reveal that the knife had been slammed into a poster of none other than All American Hulk Hogan! [100]

BREAKING NEWS

 

Word coming out of WWF Towers is that both Hawk and The Texas Tornado turned up to the latest show and wrestled under the influences of drugs.

 

The Texas Tornado was only on the pre show, but his behaviour has annoyed some backstage, however he is apparently happy at Vince McMahon's decision to send him to rehab. A move which is expected to keep him off screens for the foreseeable future.

 

On the other hand Hawk wasn't pleased at all to have been sent to rehab. What this will also mean for his tag partner Animal as word backstage was the Legion of Doom were in line for a sizeable push in the build up to Wrestlemania throwing these booking plans out the window.

Sean Mooney, Lord Aldred Hayes and Rowdy Roddy Piper introduced the opening contest with 3 of the hungriest teams in the WWF at the moment. A fast paced match saw The Warlord in particular impress, however after around 11 minutes Marty Jannetty picked up the pin on Paul Roma after hitting the Rocker Plex, giving the Rockers the win. <strong>[70]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Demolition V Bad Boyz w/Slick</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><img alt="hCVqcFm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hCVqcFm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Eet0U5I.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Eet0U5I.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>V</strong><img alt="b0swKIR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/b0swKIR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="TiLwJLx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TiLwJLx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p>

The popular Atlas and Koko B Ware came out first with Slick to a good reception. Roddy Piper put over just how dominating Demolition had been of late. Even coming up against the powerhouse Atlas he was no match for Crush and Smash, with the latter hitting a fall away slam on B Ware for the 1,2,3, and giving more credibility to Demolitions claims to being number one contenders for the Hart Foundations titles. <strong>[56]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Greg Valentine V Virgil</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><img alt="CD2qSxV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CD2qSxV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>V</strong><img alt="OqFA65z.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OqFA65z.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p>

The commentators noted that lately Virgil has been a little lost without Ted DiBiase around and it certainly showed in this match. Seemingly off the pace throughout the veteran Valentine dominated proceedings hitting a piledriver and picking up the win much to the fans delight. A dejected Virgil walked to the back to a chorus of boos shaking his head following the defeat. <strong>[66]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The Nasty Boys burst into Vince McMahon’s office and told him “now you’re the pencil neck idiot Tunney’s new secretary we want Rhodes and his idiot boy in a tag match at the Royal Rumble!”. Vince looked visibly shaken as he’s promised a trip to Nastyville if he doesn’t make the match happen. <strong>[60]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>The Mountie V Nikolai Volkoff</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><img alt="PWb2wQf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PWb2wQf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>V</strong><img alt="spPMcy4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/spPMcy4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p>

To the crowds delight out came the lovable Nikolai Volkoff waving an American fan and encouraging U S A chants with a big smile on his face. However, the fans didn’t afford such a favourable reaction to The Mountie. He strode to the ring with a big grin on his face. Once face to face in the ring The Mountie tried to start a CANADA chant to the displeasure of the crowd. Volkoff however easily started U S A chants amongst the fans. This however only seemed to anger the Canadian who viciously beatdown the loveable Nikolai down, picking up the submission victory using the Quebec Crab.<strong>[60]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

A promo aired showing the menacing Undertaker and Paul Bearer in a graveyard. Amongst the fog and tombstones The Undertaker spoke slowly in his deep voice declaring “at the Royal Rumble everyone that enters the ring will be my next victim until I’m the last man standing!” As The Undertaker slowly walked away Paul Bearer’s face contorted to one of fear and panic, “he’s coming, I…..I told him it’s not the right time, b..b but he won’t listen. Hug your children extra tight tonight, because once he arrives no one will be safe……” Bearer carried on muttering to himself as he walked away as the commentators speculated on who "he" could be! <strong>[79]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Big Bossman V Rick Martel</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><img alt="i9nWu9N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/i9nWu9N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>V</strong><img alt="bf6nzjO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bf6nzjO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p>

Finally we reached the main event where “The Model” Rick Martel took on the Big Bossman. The two men had a great back and forth match where there was clearly some great chemistry on show between the two. The end came Rick thinking he could put the Bossman away went to the top rope, however the law enforcer sprang to his feet, hoisted Martel onto his shoulder and hit an impressive Bossman Slam to pick up the victory and leave him standing tall as the show went off air. <strong>73</strong> </p><p> </p><p>

Mean Gene Okerland was in the ring and was joined by Hulk Hogan to a huge reaction. He cut a promo on Slaughter saying “Brother, you’ve changed from the Sarge I used to know. Which would be ok if you had a problem with just me, but the minute you have a problem with the star spangled banner then thats a different matter! If you’re any sort of man then you’ll settle this in the ring TONIGHT brother!” <strong>[99]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

In the back The Hart Foundation were discussing their 6 man tag match this evening when their partner Davey Boy Smith walked in wearing an over the top gold chain around his neck. Bret questioned where he got it from and Bulldog said from his new friend Ted DiBiase. Jim and Bret warned him to be careful as he can’t be trust. But Bulldog dismissed their concerns and said he was fine. <strong>[67]</strong> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>

</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

Both men came down to the ring, Slaughter first to an extremely hostile reaction. The fans hate for him and his anti American ways could not be stronger. Then the arrival of the Real American Hulk Hogan took the roof off the building! The USA chants were deafening as both men were introduced. The commentators were putting over just how much the fans were against Sgt. Slaughter while both men were being introduced. Then as the referee went to signal for the bell to start the match two men in army fatigues and their faces masked jumped onto the ring apron. Slaughter had a huge grin on his face as Hulk looked on confused. Both men had a black armband on with Triple A lettering on it. Hogan began to look concerned as Slaughter nodded his head and both men, light a bolt of lightening entered the ring and attacked Hulk. Giving out a vicious beat down as Slaughter looked on laughing. The two masked men used an array of unusual moves to beat the Real American down until Slaughter put up his hand indicating the men should stop. Sgt stood over his fallen opponent and gave a salute to the crowd as they wildly booed the trio who stood tall. <strong>[100]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The British Bulldog came out still wearing his gift from the Million Dollar Man which clearly Bret and Jim were trying to explain to him was a bad idea. However this distraction did not put the faces off their game with Bulldog eventually hitting the running powerslam on the Mountie and picking up the victory for the Hart family. <strong>[64]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Mr Perfect and Bobby Heenan came out again issuing an open challenge for his Intercontinental title to all the “bums in the back who want five minutes in the ring with Perfection to make themselves famous!” The crowds boos for Perfect were soon turned to cheers when the challenge was accepted this week by Tito Santana! <strong>[94]</strong></p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>

What followed was an excellent match with two wrestlers who clearly had great chemistry when facing each other. It was a tough back and forth match with a few near falls. However, eventually Perfect prevailed hitting a Perfectplex and getting the 3 count to make yet another defence of his Intercontinental title. <strong>[73]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

As Mr Perfect and Bobby Heenan celebrated in the ring out came WWF legend Jimmy Snuka. He took a microphone and said the reason all the guys in the back are so quick to come out and take the challenge is not only do they want to win the Intercontinental but the money as well. Heenan and Perfect looked confused at each other as Snuka revealed the boys were so fed up with him showing off, talking about being perfect all the time that they’d chipped in and there is a $50,000 bounty on his head! So whoever pins Perfect next not only wins the title but also all the money. And Jimmy Snuka went on to say at Royal Rumble he challenges Mr Perfect so he can shut him up <strong>AND </strong>get rich! <strong>[84]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Four of the biggest names in the business squared off, with the crowd firmly behind the world champion and the Big Bossman. Going toe to toe Bossman held his own against Macho Man. Eventually both men hit a double clothesline and after a slow crawl tagged in their respective partners and the fans went wild as they would finally get to see Warrior and Earthquake square off. They stood nose to nose with the crowding booing as Quake flexed his muscles and went ballistic as the Warrior signalled for a press slam!! Both men drew back their fists to fight and out of no where Macho tackled the Warrior and the Bossman attacked Earthquake from behind. All four men rolled to the outside, with the Warrior battling Macho and the Bossman man fighting Earthquake all the way up the entrance ramp. The wild brawl continued to the back as the referee completed his ten count meaning it ended with a double count out and Superstars went off air with countless officials trying to break up the four man brawl! <strong>[75]</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Enjoyed that. The Bearer promo was especially sinister.

 

EDIT to say, I'm still on page 1. All American Wrestling.

 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read. I’m hoping the stuff with Bearer pans out. The beauty of a 91 mod is the number of wasted guys turning up for matches and annoying everyone. So plans seem to be changing quite quickly!

[Dave E Mac]

I’m hoping to have results up by tomorrow. I’ve booked all the shows up to the Rumble now so planning on getting quite a few up I hope.

Jim Powers V The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer

 

V

Sean Mooney, Lord Aldred Hayes and Rowdy Roddy Piper introduced the opening contest between the popular Jim Powers and and not so popular Undertaker! The bout was a short affair with The Undertaker dominating his opponent, eventually hitting a Tombstone to pick up the victory. Throughout the match Paul Bearer at ringside spent much of it looking worried and talking about how it was not the right time for “him” to arrive in the WWF. [61]

 

Up next Vince McMahon sat down with Sgt Slaughter who was flanked by his two new recruits. Slaughter explained that these masked men’s identity was not important, they were Recruit J and Recruit B, but would be known by the name AWOL. He went on to say they would be joining him in getting rid of the stain on the WWF, Hulk Hogan! [91]

 

Tugboat V Paul Roma

 

V

Two big guys squared off looking to pick up some momentum with the Royal Rumble around the corner. Both guys were bigged up as outside shots to win it by the commentators. A back and forth battle took place. Eventually the match ended when Paul Roma debuted a new arm bar submission move to pick up the victory, much to the crowds disappointment. [55]

 

In the back That Nasty Boys were interviewed by Gene Okerlund. Knobbs and Sags said they were fed up with the Rhodes idiots being around the WWF. Turning up and thinking they were better than everyone else. The Royal Rumble might be two weeks away, but they’d stopped showering already so they could deliver an extra Nasty Pit Stop! [76]

 

The Bushwakers V Demolition

 

V

Having been announced as the number one contenders to the Hart Foundation’s tag team titles, Crush and Smash were in no mood to hang around. Tossing the loveable Bushwakers around the ring like ragdolls. Hitting powerful move after power move on the Kiwi grapplers. Putting them out of their mercy when Crush hit a powerbomb on Luke for the 1 2 3. Demolition posed over their beaten opponents to a chorus of boos from the crowd.[49]

 

Jimmy Snuka V Warlord

The main event saw the veteran Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka take on the Warlord. Both men were looking for the victory for different reasons. Warlord was looking to lay a marker down as the best big man in the WWF at the moment. Jimmy Snuka had his eye on Mr Perfect’s Intercontinental title AND the bounty on his head. A back and forth match took place, however something about the two guys just didn’t seem to click that well and the match always felt a little awkward. After many near pin falls we saw some classic Superfly with a splash from the top rope letting him pick up the win. After the match his celebration was cut short as Bobby Heenan and Mr Perfect came out to applaud him. [64]
