Poughkeepsie, NY

Match#1 The British Bulldogs vs Barry O & Dave Barbie
The dogs are finally back!! Sick power spots to start by DK. A complete cunt who also happens to be amazing as hell. Davey joins in on the fun and he's smooth and mean as hell as well, and it's truly a perfect pair. DK gets mean all of a sudden with nasty lariats and suplexes, and Vince freaks out in a cool moment. They murder O with the rocket launcher/flying headbutt deal.
**

WWF Update-
-Recap of Wonderful's face turn at SNME. Not sure why they're a few months behind, but whatever.

Match#2 King Kong Bundy w/Jimmy Hart vs Sal G
Fuck yeah, Bundy is back as well. Feels like Vince finally making sure his pieces are in place as he sets the future. Bundy uses his fat to murder G a lot, and hey it rocks a ton. Avalanche and the 5 count does it.
*3/4

Interviews-
-KOTR hpye
-We have no tape, sadly.

Match#3 Uncle Elmer w/Hillbilly Jim vs AJ Pertruzi
Elmer is dogshit as dogshit can be. Bad strikes and bad fat man offence, which coming after Bundy is even worse. He wins with a legdrop
1/2*

Match#4 The Dream Team vs Jose Luis Rivera & Paul Roma
Hammer does sick arm work and leads the charge, and Brutus is again the clean up man in the best possible role for him. Vince says the man Funk attacked last week as broken ribs, but he will be fine in the long run. High Knee ends it.
*3/4

Piper's Pit with Terry Funk. Terry says he's a jealous man of Hogan, JYD and even Piper because they make more money than him. Piper says maybe he didn't get fined the moment he walks through the door, he'd have money. FUCK YEAH. They show the footage of the attack and Funk says you don't put a man's cowboy hat on when they're tougher than a rattlesnake and a rattler and shaker. He says he hates the WWF and he wants to beat Hogan and JYD and murder rock and roll. Funk is God.

Match#5 Randy Savage vs Aldo Marino
GOD YES. He has the amazing pink and yellow get up, and it's an all time look that no one else but an insane cokehead could pull off. Every heel manager comes out to watch the match. Randy throws sick strikes and batters Aldo with the famous offence, and it's soooooo cool man. Randy comes off the top with the double axe to the outside and cracks the jobber right on top of his head. He drags him back in and hits two perfect Elbows to win.
**

Post match, all the managers get in and hug him. Savage attacks Aldo again and kills him with another axe handle to the floor. God Bless.

PSA; Ricky Steamboat says not to smoke.

Match#6 Ricky Steamboat vs Don Muraco w/Mr Fuji
Holy fuck yes. Don tries to cheap shot him so Ricky smokes his ass with karate.It turns into a fight on the mat and Ricky grabs the arm and dominates him for a while, but Don fires off a gross Samoan Drop and it turns into a fight with amazing, amazing strikes and killer selling from both dudes. Don slams Ricky's head off the apron and beats his ass on the outside. They fight and Steamer throws Don into Fuji and slides back in to win via countout.
**3/4

Yeah, i'll these two for the next few months.

Hamilton, Ontario

Match#1 US Express w/Lou Albano vs Frank Marconi & Ricky Hunter
Barry does the bulk of the work and it rocks as he hits hard and does good mat work and the like, and Mike is ok when called upon. Bulldog does it.
*1/2

Match#2 Greg Valentine w/Jimmy Hart vs Barry Mackner
Hammer is on one tonight as he hurls the kid around and wreaks the arm in even meaner fashion than normal. He even breaks out white noise and makes Sheamus look like a bitch. Figure Four does it.
**

Match#3 The Killer Bees vs Barry O & Terry Gibbs
Honey pot, motherfuckers. Killer mat work like last time and some cool arm work on top of it, and they're really good one of the dumbest gimmicks ever. Bee gets isolated for a time and the jobbers do some fine work on him. Jim has a good hot tag and runs through them with ease. Jim wins with a flying crossbody.
*3/4

Match#4 Terry Funk vs Jim Powers
Yes!!!!! Funk wastes zero time as he kills Jimmy for being alive and in his line of sight. Amazing punches and headbutts and classic crazy Funker stuff that no one else could possibly pull off. Spinning toe hold does it.
**

Body Shop with Hillbilly Jim. He says he likes the people cheering for him, and he thanks the fans for the cards. Jesse brings out a pipe out of Jim's pocket and asks what he's been smoking, and Jim changes the subject and brings out Elmer. Elmer says he doesn't wrestle but he scuffles, so Jesse ends the interview and tells them to take a bath.

 

[BigVanDonnie]

Greg Valentine (c) vs Tito Santana (WWF Intercontinental Championship-Steel Cage. 6/7 Baltimore)
"Boy this is a real grudge job" Monsoon. Tito snaps right away and beats the shit out of him for months and months of this fucker wreaking his life, and it's so great watching him do it. Hammer keeps trying to run for it, which forces Tito to keep stopping him and zapping himself of energy each time. Greg manages to kick off down to the apron and he slams him into the cage to take over, and he starts unloading a killer beating. Gross punches and choking for a while, and the only bad thing is Monsoons' terrible commentary adding nothing to it. Tito is busted open when Greg hotshots him into the cage, and we get another amazing closeup of a bleeding wrestler. Greg targets the cut with elbows and shit and it's super brutal, but he goes for the figure four because he can't help himself, and Tito boots him into the cage to finally get some space. Tito slowly climbs up the top of the cage as Hammer crawls to the door and GREG GETS IT OPEN, BUT TITO CLIMBS DOWN AND KICKS INTO HIS FACE AND KNOCKS HIM BACK AND TITO JUMPS DOWN TO WIN THE TITLE BACK. FUCK YEAH.

WWF Championship Wrestling
July 13th, 1985
Poughkeepsie, NY

Tonight. Sheik & Nik vs US Express for the Tag Titles. Randy Savage in Piper's Pit.

Match#1 Paul Orndorff vs Mr X
Battle of the Mr Mister's, which is perfectly fitting for 1985. Awesome stuff from Paul as he gets right to it and trashes X on the outside with gross punches and kicks, and it's a Wonderful time. Heenan watches from ringside with a briefcase. Paul gets really pissed when he sees him and smokes X some more as a result. Piledriver does the deed.
**

Post match, Heenan dares Wonderful to come and get the money, but Paul gets out and beats up X some more with a gross slam to the ground.

WWF Update-
-Randy Savage is amazing as fuck and every manager wants a piece of him.

Match#2 Pedro Morales & Lanny Poffo vs. JA Rizzo & Barry O
What a genius team. Lanny is super young and not good at all, but he's Randy's brother and gets a spot as the rules state. Pedro is awful again and doesn't help matters at all. Crab ends it.
Poop

Jack Reynolds-
-He announces Tito's title win.
-Freddie Blassie walks on says he was planning on the Express chasing them so could lead them into a trap.

Match#3 The Missing Link w/Bobby Heenan vs Jim Young
Killer wildman squash again. Loads of headbutts and slams and other crazy man stuff, and it's fun as hell. He wins with a flying splash.
**




Match#4 Terry Funk vs Mario Mancini
Hell yeah. Funk throws amazing elbows right to top of Mario's head and just batters the shit out of him. Funk gives him some offence when hits the ropes, and his selling is incredible even for 30 seconds. He snaps and kicks the fuck out of him as he screams that Mario is a pig. Toe hold does it
**

PSA; Tito Santana wants everyone to swim with a friend.

Match#5 Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff (c) vs US Express (WWF World Tag Team Championships)
US have a great flurry to start and force these fat hgh motherfuckers to actually give a shit and sell. Mike takes a knee to the guts and the heels work him over, and it's perfectly fine enough. Rotundo cradles Sheik, but behind the ref's back, Nik rolls Sheik on top. Barry reverses that, and then cuts Niki off, and the US Express regains the titles. What a terrible fucking finish. Least this horrible reign is finally over.
3/4*

 

[BigVanDonnie]

Terry Funk vs Lanny Poffo (13/7)
Funker throws his jacket at the guy he beat up a few weeks ago!! Terry beats the shit out of poor little Lanny while being an unhinged as possible screaming the camerman calling him a stupid son of a bitch. The best to ever do it. Terry spends the next few minutes unloading a beating while throwing in amazing little sells for any offence Lanny gets in. Sleeper ends it
**

Post match, FUNK BURNS HIM WITH A FUCKING BRANDING IRON. MY GOD.

Roddy Piper vs Paul Orndorff (13/7)
GOD YES. Amazing fight breaks out right away with Wonderful decking the fuck out of him, and Piper sells nerve damage in his neck after a series of shots. Wonderful locks onto his wrist and attacks the arm, so Piper pokes him in the eye to get out of like a complete shitheel. It's a nasty fucking thing to do, and it really sells the hate between them. Piper kicks him to the floor and beats his ass on the mat with a super tight facelock. Wonderful punches his way out and turns it into a tired dog fight and it's so cool. Ace runs out and cracks Wonderful with the cast for the DQ.
***

Post match, they beat him bloody with the cast until the Bulldogs make the save and have a sick brawl with Piper & Ace.

Hart Foundation vs British Bulldogs (13/7/85)
Here we go. Two teams that will be intertwined for the rest of their lives in one way or another. Bret and DK start with a series of killer mat work and it's so smooth and good as you'd expect. Anvil gets in and DK CRACKS him with a knee to the face like a complete bastard!! Davey gets in and is quickly isolated and we get a super fun control seg with Bret leading the charge and Anvil doing the cleaning up. Awesome selling from DBS as he holds his body as he tries and tries to get anything going before it's too late. DK finally gets the hot tag and beats the fucking crap out of both of the HF like they're not even there. DBS tags back in and is isolated again in a super weird choice, but it's cool again so whatever. They end up fighting until the bullshit MSG curfew hits and the match ends on that.
**3/4

Poughkeepsie, NY

TONIGHT MURACO VS STEAMBOAT 2

Killer Bees vs Steve Lombardi & Ron Shaw
Hell yeah, they've got the matching tights, jackets and headbands and it's the goofiest and lamest shit in the world. Super fun matwork to start with Jim looking good, but not anywhere near as his awesome partner. Bee just has a way of making it look super smooth and cool and keeps me happy the entire time. Blassie joins commentary and Vince talks about a Manager of the Year poll that's going on now, and says due to a great number of Arabic and Russian votes, Freddie Blassie is currently winning. AMAZING. Blair wins with a sick seated senton.
**

WWF Update-
-Lord Hayes recaps Tito winning the IC title back.

Match#2 Adrian Adonis w/Bobby Heenan vs Gary Starr
YES HE'S FINALLY BACK. He's looking a little fat and grosser than normal, and it's cool by me. He's violent as hell and beats the shit out of Starr on the mat with gross elbows and knees, and really fucks his life up. Adrian wins with a sleeper hold that Heenan has dubbed "THE BIG APPLE".
**

Post math, he wakes the jobber up and chokes him out again.

Freddie Miller-
-Hype for Boston where Don & Fuji will face Ricky and JYD.
-Don walks on and says he won the first king of the ring and now he wants to be known as the Eliminator because that's what he did to all those bums. When the master puts on the tights and gets back in the ring, they'll unload hell on them. JYD has a score to settle with him, but he's got a bigger one himself.

Match#3 Uncle Elmer w/Hillbilly Jim vs Doc Butler
Another terrible one for this shithead. I don't want to hate on the dead (that's reserved for the worst of the worst) but he's not good at all despite me wanting him to be so i could laugh at Sky. But, yeah fat loser. He wins with a bad legdrop.
Poop

Freddie Miller-
-Ricky walks on and says he knew after the first match he would be dealing with double trouble, so he got the worst dog of the bunch to watch his back and join this fight. Ricky says everyone knows these two double team everyone, but he outsmarted them last time and he's here to prove himself. The best are here and you have to dig down deep and get back to your roots to contend with the contenders.

Match#4 Terry Funk vs Jose Luis Rivera
Wooo, what an episode. Terry takes some fun bumps to start and really gives the kid a lot, before he shuts him down and bashes the fuck out of him. He hits a sick slingshot backdrop on the ropes that leaves Bruno and Vince in awe. Just the best dude ever. He keeps killing him with tons of cool shit, and he's easily the best squash guy. Terry wins with a sleeper.
**

Piper's Pit with Lou Albano. Piper says Al has managed 15 tag champions, but he's still one of the biggest pigs he's seen in his entire life. Lou says not to touch him, and Piper laughs and says he can't do a damn thing. Lou goes to attack, but Orton shoves him back down. The Express rush on and get in Piper's face, so Piper calls them paper champs and challenges them to a match. The Express accept to close it.

They air the last few minutes of Tito/Hammer.

Match#5 Ricky Steamboat vs Don Muraco w/Mr Fuji
Don jumps him from behind and beats the crap out of him with chops and strikes, but Ricky fires back and we get a sick as hell back and forth. Ricky starts to get the best of it and busts Don open above the eye with a shot!!. Ricky knocks Fuji off the apron and deals with Don, but FUJI WRAPS HIS BELT AROUND RICKY'S NECK AND DRAGS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT FOR THE DQ.
*

THEY THROW HIM OVER THE ROPES AND STRANGLE HIM WITH THE BELT!! DON SMACKS HIM OVER AND OVER WITH ANOTHER BELT AND RICK IS DEAD AS FUCK. TITO AND JYD RUN OUT AND THE HEELS HIGHTAIL IT OUT. Amazing stuff.

WWF All Star Wrestling
July 20th, 1985
Hamilton, Ontario

Match#1 Terry Funk vs Paul Roma
FUCKING KILL HIM DEAD, TERRY. Terry gives him nothing and just beats the hell out of him for being alive, and it's a perfect choice because fuck Paul Roma. Amazing crazy man beating as always with a million amazing punches and knees and gross shit in between. Spinning Toe Hold does it.
**

Match#2 Don Muraco w/Mr Fuji vs Jim Young
Don does a lot of neck work this go around to soften him up for the piledriver, and it's good shit as always. Nasty Tombstone does the deed.
**

Post match, Don gets the mic and says that was for Jesse Ventura.

Mean Gene-
-More Boston hype.
-Ricky Steamboat is the guest. He talks about picking JYD has his partner because he's a mixed breed that was picked on as a kid (wait what). He has never suffered something like being hung like a dog on TV, and they will pay with the hands of steel.

Match#3 The Dream Team vs Marcus Brothers
Hammer is now a full tag guy now that he's lost the title, and it's sad as he's fucking amazing and deserves better than Brutus Beefcake. Still, this is very fun as he leads the charge and wreaks shop, and Beef mostly does ok when called upon. High Knee does it.
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Roddy Piper is here. He laughs at Gene for saying a fight with Wonderful won't be a walk in the park. He ain't afraid of walking in a park because he's never been knocked down and it won't happen in Boston. He left Hogan and Andre bloody and dying in Boston! This is stupidity on Wonderful's part. He lost at WrestleMania and became a loser, but he is no loser.

Match#4 Lanny Poffo vs Mr X
Ah fuck. Lanny is not good outside of being a killer promo, but he's Randy's loser dipshit brother and this is how it works to keep everyone happy. Bad lame offence that look like it wouldn't hurt a fly, and shitty bumps as well. He wins with a bad Moonsualt.
1/2*

Body Shop with Randy Savage. Jess says he's seen a lot of cats jump off the top rope, but none have a more devastating elbow than Randy Savage. Savage walks on and SAYS NO ONE IS THE DANGER ZONE LIKE HULK HOGAN. HE'S DEAD AND NOW IT'S RANDY SAVAGE'S TIME DIG IT. Jesse asks if they can be partners one day, and Randy says he can dig that power.


Match#5 King Kong Bundy w/Jimmy Hart vs Jose Luis Rivera
Jesse says Andre isn't around when Bundy is wrestling.... Awesome stuff from Bundy with the cool clubs and choking, and JLR is a killer jobber who dies on everything. Splash and the 5 count does it.
**

Match#6 Ricky Steamboat vs Ricky Hunter
Ricky is very mad about being hung, so he takes out on this old man and it's rad. Killer karate stuff and awesome armdrags as you'd expect. Just the best dude ever. Crossbody ends the fun.
**

Mean Gene-
-Mr Fuji. He laughs his balls off at what they did to Ricky. He feels great and pure after the attack, and Gene calls him a sick man. Fuji says he is a sick man who wants to make him cry and scream, and Don wants to break every bone in his body and karate chop his head.

Hamilton, Ontario

Gorilla & Jess are on the call in a really great choice.

Match#1 Lanny Poffo & George Welles vs Barry O & Gino Carbello
Ewwwwww Brother.

Match#2 Randy Savage vs Nelson Veldioux
Randy gets super violent right away with gross body shots and the like. He kills him with the double axe handle, and Jesse says he loves it because it shows he has zero fear about being possibly hurt if it goes wrong. Elbow Drop does the deed with Randy pinning him with a knee across his face.
**

Mean Gene-
-Gene hypes up a card that's not taped.

Match#3 Uncle Elmer vs Jerry Adams
Really terrible again as he dances and does bad offence, and it's all pure trash. Bad legdrop ends it
1/2*

Mean Gene-
-Steamboat & Wonderful will be facing Piper & Orton. Paul says he wanted a partner who could fight as well as he can wrestle, and Ricky is the black belt who can do both. He is sick and tired of these two scumbags getting into his life, and this ends!!!

Match#4 Don Muraco w/Mr Fuji Yvon Lavurndale
Don gets us back on track by beating the shit out of this doofus. Knees, elbows and sick offence as always. Just the best. Tombstone does it.
**

Body Shop with Lou Albano & Animal Steele. Jesse says it's be kind to animals week, so he'll be nice for once. Lou says Steele has been helped by doctors and can now speak like a man. George gets the mic and says "Jesse" and Jesse loves it.

Match#5 Bob Orton vs Al Diamond
Bob takes it to the mat for a nice change up and works the head and neck, and it's pretty great stuff for a minute and change. The jobber botches taking the superplex, so Bob throws him off the ropes and kills him with a flying double fist to the face with the cast killing him dead.
*

Post match, the jobber is carried away because he's dead and shit.

Match#6 British Bulldogs vs Steve Lombardi & Spot.
BATTLE OF THE DOGS, BABY. Spot finally gets some fucking offence and beats the shit out of DK with super fun old man stuff, and DK sells it really goddamn well. Lombardi gets in and beats him up as well with a sick backbreaker! They keep isolating him for a while, and it's a great change of pace to our normal output of TV matches. Davey has a fun hot tag wreaking shop by throwing them around with power stuff. Spot is thrown out and the Dogs win with a sick assisted splash to Lombardi.
**3/4

Mean Gene-
-Piper & Orton are here. Piper says they're going to cry on each others shoulders after all the beatings they've taken the last few weeks. ARE YOU KIDDING ME MAN, WE ARE A BUNCH OF M E N. THAT'S MEN, MAN. They might think they have the speed and power combo, but Wonderful is a little on the slow side and they'll be in trouble. Piper wasn't impressed by the Karate Kid, man.

 

[BigVanDonnie]

Roddy Piper vs Paul Orndorff (27/7-Spectrum)
THEY RUSH EACH OTHER RIGHT AWAY AND THEY BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF EACH OTHER ON THE FLOOR. PIPER BREAKS A MIC OVER PAUL'S BACK AND HITS HIM IN THE FACE WITH A CHAIR! Piper starts throwing amazing punches to the face to hurt him some more, but Paula hulks up and punches the hell out of him in revenge and it's soooooo much fun. Piper gets dirty and goes for the eyes to stop him again, but only for a short time as Paul refuses to die and keeps fighting back. They go back on the outside and Paul smashes his face on the ringpost and busts Piper open!! They keep fighting and both throw the ref when he tries to stop them and it ends with a double dq.
**3/4

Post match, they keep fighting and it's a goddamn war between them. Tons and tons of wrestlers have to run out to pull them apart. Give me a thousand rematches.

Poughkeepsie, NY

Match#1 Tito Santana & Pedro Morlaes vs Les Thorton & Mr X
Fucking stop putting Tito with fat shitheads who drag him down. Tito mostly gets weakly beaten up so Pedro can be the hero of the day, and it's the worst. Tito at least wins with the Forearm, but the damage is done.
1/2*

WWF Update-
-Another recap of Tito winning the title back.

Match#2 Randy Savage vs Mario Mancini
OHHHHH YEAH. Sick as hell squash from Mach. He throws him all over and hits the gross elbows and knees, and drops him with the top rope axe handle that causes Bruno to lose his damn mind over. Elbow Drop does it.
**

Post match, Savage gets the mic and calls for a match with Hogan.

Match#3 Greg Valentine w/Dream Team vs Salvatore Bellomo
Hammer is mad about losing the title so he batters Sal for being the first man he gets his hands on. Jim and Elmer walk out and confront the heels to tease a horrible fucking feud. In the ring, Hammer keeps murdering Sal and it rocks a ton. Figure Four does it.
**

Piper's Pit with Adonis & Heenan. Piper says Adrain now has the 25 grand in a case handcuffed to his wrist so he can have it once he gets rid of Wonderful. They walk on and Piper gives him a massive bearhug and asks where he's been, and Adrain says he's been doing his thing. He says he has had bad partners who ruined his career, but now he's got Heenan by his side and he's going to the top. The show ends when Piper says Wonderful is wrestling next.

Match#4 Paul Orndroff vs The Axe.
Wonderful kicks the shit out of him and wins with the Piledriver in 40 seconds.
WONDERFUL

PIPER RUSHES THE RING AND THEY HAVE A SICK FIGHT WITH SOME AMAZING PUNCHES AND KICKS. ORTON GETS IN AND HELPS DOUBLE TEAM HIM AND THEY BEAT HI DOWN UNTIL THE LOCKER ROOM RUSHES OUT AND BREAKS IT UP.

Match#1 US Express w/Lou Albano vs Barry O & Larry Vinker
Same decent Express squash. It's fine and all, but it's so dry and overdone i can't give much a shit. THE DREAM TEAM COMES OUT TO WATCH. FUCK YES. The Express ignore them and go about things in a cool little moment, and Jimmy Hart gets more and more loud as a result. Bulldog ends it
*

WWF Update-
-Corp. Krichner is jumping out of planes in the arm and jumping into the WWF.

Match#2 The Missing Link w/Bobby Heenan vs Jim London
Woooooooooo. Link gives us another sick wildman suqash, AND HE BREAKS THE TOP ROPE AND BEATS THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF THE JOBBER WITH IT. AMAZING. He wins with a flying headbutt.
**

Mean Gene-
-Gene says Orton is barred from ringside tonight when Wonderful faces Piper in Boston.
-Wonderful walks on and he's super happy about this as Orton is always getting involved and it's finally over tonight. Every time before he's stopped Piper from going down, but tonight he can't stop it from happening.

Match#3 Hart Foundation w/Jimmy Hart vs George Wells & Joe Mirto
Fuck yeah. Wonderful selling to start from Bret as he does a lot for his old buddy Wells, before Anvil clobbers him and the boys go to work. Wonderful stuff again as Anvil murders people and Bret cleans it all up in the smoothest way possible. Hart Attack ends it as Vince shouts no one could survive such an attack. Getting closer.
**

Mean Gene-
-Don Muraco & Fuji. Don says that stupid dog stuck his black head into this when he should have stayed away, and now he's going to put him to sleep. He's putting Steamboat to sleep as well.

Match#4 Terry Funk vs Jim Young
MY GOD. Funker beats the tar out of this pretty boy jobber with a million amazing moments such a sick spinning brainbuster and a gross running knee right to the temple. The best to ever do it. Sleeper ends it.
**

Post match, he kills him with the branding iron.

Piper's Pit with Tito Santana. Piper hears the cheers and asks if Tito bought his family with him, and Tito says he loves everyone. Piper says he must need those people to have the guts to fight, unlike him. Piper asks why he keeps tagging with losers and not defending the title. Tito says his friends have asked for his help and he'll do it, and if Wonderful asks for his help he's there. Piper says he's afraid to take the 25 grand, so Tito calls him garbage and leaves. Piper says he should use that money to buy some better clothes.

Match#5 Randy Savage vs Paul Roma
YEAH KILL THE FUCKING RAT BOY. Randy mauls him in classic fashion and it's so good because Roma is the fucking worst, and Randy is the fucking best. Brutal and sick as hell with amazing offence and so much of Roma dying like the scumfuck he is. Elbow Drop does it.
**

Match#6 British Bulldogs vs Spot & Jerry Adams
This episode is goddamn amazing and then some. DK takes another beating before he fucking snaps and lights them up like it's a guy he set on fire for some laughs. Davey joins in and fucks them up as well and it's a blast. Ode does it.

Match#1 Hart Foundation w/Jimmy Hart vs Mario Mancini & Rick McGraw
I know i say it all the time, but getting two (and in the future maybe 3) squashes per week from the best wrestlers is such a great thing, and a major reason i watch these. Rick gets a run of offence before Mario is dragged in and killed for his crimes. Anvil really lays it in this week and comes off as a bastard bully in the best way. Bret joins in and is again smooth as fuck, and it's scary to think how much better he's going to get when he hits his peak. Hart Attack does it.
**

Match#2 George Steele w/Lou Albano vs Steve Lombardi
Poor Lombardi is fed to this gross fuckface and i want to cry. Hammerlock ends it after a few bad minutes.
1/2*

Mean Gene-
-Gene says last weeks show didn't happen because a watermain burst and the show couldn't happen.
-Johnny V & Brutus walk on and cut another bad promo about JYD. The lone highlight Gene putting his hand on Brutus and V calling him a pickpocket.

Match#3 Terry Funk vs Bob Marcus
Jesse says he doesn't know a thing about being a cowboy, but Funk is the only one he respects. More than fair. Terry throws some insane elbows to the head and neck and really fucks Bob up, and it's amazing watching this insane cowboy just murder someone in so many cool and wicked ways. Jesse says Terry has a score to settle with JYD and he hopes he puts him down. Sleeper does the job.
**

Post match, he burns him with the iron. FUCK YEAH MURDER.

Mean Gene-
-Ricky Steamboat will be facing Fuji after he attacked him with the belt. He understands pain in the body and within, and he and Fuji know what it takes to get a black belt. But to suffer what he did was too far and he will pay.

Match#4 Ricky Steamboat vs Gino Carbello
Love the little touch of Ricky getting a match right after cutting a promo about how mad he is, as now Gino is double fucked. Ricky works the neck with some gross holds that bend the poor kids neck around. He gets more angry and kicks the shit out of him with karate shots and Gino takes some cool bumps. Crossbody does it.
**

Body Shop with Bobby Heenan & John Studd. Jesse is happy to have people he likes on here for once. Bobby says Wonderful has been very lucky to escape with his life, but he knows one day the money is getting paid. Jesse says Bobby loves to pay his men as it makes him happy, and Studd says it's true and he will be the bounty hunter who will take out Wonderful. They say Andre is coming back, and he's a stupid loser for doing this and he's going down again thanks to the bad dudes.

Match#5 Brutus Beefcake w/Johnny Valiant vs Pete Diamonds
Jesse says he would be happy to team with Brutus as he's his kind of man, but he's not giving up his money to someone like Johnny V as he knows what he's like. AMAZING. Jim and Elmer watch from ringside again, sadly. This isn't much as Brutus only gets 60 seconds and change, so yeah no dice. He wins with a bad powerslam.
1/2*

They weirdly replay the Dogs squash from CW with Gorilla and Jesse commentating like it's new.

WWF Boston Gardens-August 3rd

Roddy Piper vs Paul Orndorff
Piper grabs the mic and calls him Paula, and hey he gets the shit beaten out of him for being a pesky fuckface. Incredible fight once again with a ton of crazy shots being thrown as hard as possible. Paul smacks him in the face with a wooden table and really lays in a beating once he finally gets him down to the mat. Piper goes for the eyes like the last match and takes over, and he unloads another super mean beating. His pants get pulled half way down and he keeps beating up Paul with his ass on display in a very funny moment. Wonderful eventually fights back and knocks Piper to the floor and wins via countout.
**3/4

Post match, they have a killer brawl to the back.

Randy Savage vs Salvatore Bellomo
Randy gets nearly 10 minutes and while Sal isn't great, it's still enough for Randy to display amazing selling and stooging before he finally snaps and beats the crap out of him in incredible fashion. Elbow does it.
**

Ricky Steamboat & Junkyard Dog vs Don Muraco & Mr Fuji
Fine enough 10 minutes of bullshit thanks to Ricky and Don doing the bulk of the work to make up for the trash heap of partners. Fun stuff between him and Don when they get to it, and it's a shame it wasn't the entire match, tbh. JYD has a bad hot tag as he's now fully lazy and not giving a shit, and Don doesn't bump his ass for it. Ricky beats Fuji with the crossbody.
*

Post match, the heels throw salt in Ricky's eyes before running for it.

WWF Women's Champion: Wendi Richter-31/3/85

WWF Championship Wrestling
August 10th, 1985
Poughkeepsie, NY

To kick off the show, Hillbilly Jim brings out his best friend Hulk Hogan to pose and whatnot.

Match#1 Uncle Elmer vs Bob Wade
Fuck Off

WWF Update-
-More hype for Krichner

BUY THE WWF SUPERSTAR TOYS.

Match#2 The Killer Bees vs Mr X & Bolo
JIP for some reason. Maybe Vince hates bees or something, the fucking asshole. What we do get is again very solid with tight mat wrestling and good strikes from both of the honey lovers. Jim wins with a dropkick.
**

Mean Gene-
-Hulk Hogan is up first and says he's defending against King Kong Bundy at Boston. Hogan says he knows he's got his hands full and says Bundy is bigger than Andre and the fastest big man ever, but he doesn't think he has what it takes to keep up with him, dude. He says people like Bundy are great, but they'll come and go, and Hulkamania will be forever.

Match#3 Ricky Steamboat vs Dan Rymoti
Fuck yeah. Ricky nukes the arm and does all his awesome stuff as quick and mean as possible and really fucks this dude up. Sick crossbody does the deal.
**

Mean Gene-
-Jimmy Hart. He says Gene is going to be in trouble when Bundy gets back and sees all the kissing up Gene has been doing with Hogan. Bundy beat 3 men a night in Japan, and he is ready to take Hogan and the title away. Bundymania is coming when this is sad and done, and this will be the biggest night of their lives in Boston.

Match#4 Hart Foundation w/Jimmy Hart vs Jim Jackson & SD Jones
Yeah man. Another good one even with some shitty ass jobbers thrown into the fire. They add more double teams this week to really change it up, and then murder Jackson wth the Hart Attack.
**

Piper's Pit with Don Muraco. Piper says it's a true pleasure to have him here as he's a massive fan. Don says he's done all the shows, but a star of Piper's like is the biggest one of them all. He's always been a honest man who has told the truth. Piper says the fans are fat chip eating liars and they should shut up. They swap shirts as a sign of respect.

Match#5 Paul Orndorff vs AJ Pertruzi
Wonderful kicks the shit out of him really bad, so Piper comes out and throws the jobber back in for another beating. He and Orton jump on the apron, BUT ADNRE MAKES HIS RETURN AND CHASES THEM OFF. FUCK YEAH. Wonderful wins with the Piledriver.
*

PSA BOBBY HEENAN SAYS YOU'RE DUMB IF YOU DRINK AND DRIVE AND YOU SHOULD PROVE HIM WRONG AND WALK. FUCK YEAH BOBBY.

Match#7 Adrain Adonis, Big John Studd, Missing Link w/Bobby Heenan vs Tony Garea, Joe Mirto & Bob Sampson
Fun showcase for the family for a few minutes. Studd is bad as always, but his partners do well to make up for it. Link is amazing as a wild man, and Adrain hits really hard and looks great. Studd gets the win with his shitty backbreaker.
*3/4

Hamilton, Ontario

Match#1 Iron Sheik vs Jose Luis Rivera
Sheiky finally gets a singles match again and takes it out on the young man with a humbling and then some. Clutch does it
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Randy Savage will be the biggest star coming down that aisle on every night. The fans need to pinch themselves to make sure they aren't dreaming when they see him. He dares Gene to put on the pink tights and fight him and maybe show more class than Hulk Hogan.

Match#2 Uncle Elmer w/Hillbilly Jim vs Gino Carbello
Bad

Mean Gene-
-Lou Albano and his team cut another trash promo about facing all teams.

Match#3 Randy Savage vs Jeff Grey
God yes. Another sick one for Randy as his routine is coming together and getting better and better each time. He batters him all over the place and ends his life with the elbow.
**

Body Shop with Brutus Beefcake & Johnny V. They hype the feud with the hillbilly's by calling them smelly cripples, and hey i want to die.

Match#4 Terry Funk vs SD Jones
Wooooooo. Funk kills one of our greatest foes to ever do it, and i don't want to die anymore. HE DROPKICKS HIM ONTO THE FLOOR. YEAH KILL HIM DEAD. Funk takes a few nasty bumps for SD on the floor as well, but then he powers up and kills him again. Sleeper ends the fun.
**

Match#5 Tito Santana vs Barry O
Monsoon explains that Hammer smashed the IC title after the cage match and that's why Tito doesn't have the title with him, and i have no idea why they're just talking about this now. Super weird. Anyway, this rules as Tito finally gets away from tag matches and does his thing with O being a good little punching bag. Forearm does the job.
