Donnie watches WWF 1987

[BigVanDonnie]

Hulk Hogan (c) vs King Harley Race w/Bobby Heenan (WWF World Championship-Texas Death Match-6/6)
Hogan backdrops him right to the concrete right away and strangles him on the floor as he finally gets to use the outaide to beat his ass. He smacks him into the rails and post, and hits him with a chair shot to send him on top of the announce table. He stays on him with it, and Race's bumps are both wild and funny as hell. Harley gets some wrist tape and jabs him in the throat to drop him and unloads the headbutts right to the top of his skull. He brings him back in and hits the Piledriver, and Hogan is shacking on the mat!! Race belts his neck and kicks his big ass all over the place, and Hogan's selling is wonderful as he's struggling to get to his feet at every turn, and Race keeps cutting him off with slams and throws. Hogan finally pulls his shirt out of his trunks and rams it into Race's throat over and over, and Race takes a backwards bump over the ropes where he lands on the apron before hitting the ground. Heenan now gets involved, and Race rushes Hogan into the post and fights him in the aisle way in a super cool thing that hasn't happened in any Hogan matches. Race gets a coat and chokes him down and hits the headbutt off the apron, and Hogan is dead. Race throws him back in and gets the belt from Bobby and hits him in the head. HE GOES FOR THE HEADBUTT BUT HOGAN GETS THE TITLE UP AND HARLEY HITS HIS FACE ON IT. HOGAN COMES BACK TO LIFE AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD WITH THE TITLE TO THE FACE AND PINS HIM. FUCK YEAH. HULKSTER.
***1/2

Post match, Hogan drops Bobby with a punch, and then hits Harley with the title again to knock him out of the ring.

WWF Intercontinental Champion: Ricky Steamboat-29/3/87
WWF Tag Team Champions: The Hart Foundation-7/2/87

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
June 6th, 1987
Anaheim, CA

Match#1 Demolition w/Mr Fuji vs The Young Stallions
YESSSSSSSSS. 3 minute true and proper demolition of these two young punks with clubbing, boots and sick power moves that crumble and cripple them every time they land. Bruno isn't a fan of the group, and Jesse asks if he wants him to manage a group of pansies instead. Vince calls them pansies dressed in blood!! They give them some token offence and it's actually good, and then they get sick of that and kick the crap out of them for it. Roma goes on a sweet little run of offence, SO AX TAKES HIS HEAD OFF WITH A LARIAT AND PINS HIM RIGHT AWAY.
**12

WWF UPDATE-
-Recap of the Islanders joining the Heenan Family
-Heenan says the Family is on a role and his boys beat the Can-Am's because they're on a role. Bring on the tag team champions because they are ready for them and everyone else.

Match#2 Koko B Ware vs Tiger Chung Lee
Tiger is a bad lazy jobber who adds nothing to this, but thankfully Koko works very hard with his killer offence and mostly makes it work. Koko wins with his normal dropkick this week.
*

In a pre-tape, Jack Tunney says the DDT will not be banned after a vote took place over the week.

Match#3 Kamala & Sika w/Mr Fuji & Kimchee vs Silvi Afi & Don Adams
Kamala breaks out his leap frog and kill Afi with his amazing superkick. Sika joins and murders the jobbers with more great wildman stuff, and it's just the best. Running Splash ends it quick.
*

We go to part 3 of the Billy Graham story. He's old crippled and a massive sack of shit. Also, coming back to wrestling.

Match#4 Ken Patera vs Jimmy Jack Funk
More stinky stuff for Ken as he lets the jobber control him a while instead of eating him up, and it shows his instincts are a mess. He fights back with his bad punches and other offence and wins with the Bearhug.
1/5*

We go to the Snake Pit with Outback Jack. The big fella loves the snake and says we have lots of them over here, and he's not wrong. He shows off the crocodile head on his back and says he found it in the fish tank and cut his head off and put it on his jacket. He says he loves America and has no thoughts on Heenan as he's done nothing to him. Jake says he's proof you need to win and get them before they get you.

WATCH PREDATOR WITH ARNIE AND JESSE. I AIN'T GOT TIME TO BLEED.

Match#5 Tito Santana & Billy Jack Haynes vs Terry Gibbs & The Raider
Jesse says his real name is Chico and nothing else as he's known him since he was selling tacos a decade ago. This is very short and not much at all, so another waste of Tito. Full Nelson ends it.
1/2*

Vince announces next week it will be Steamboat defending against HTM. NOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE NOT YET.

We go to more Killer Khan praying and training as Fuji keeps calling him ugly.

Match#6 Brutus Beefcake vs Tim Patterson
Brutus says he has an extreme cut for V and his boys. Brutus is given 2 minutes to work and it's ok as he's still throwing some nice punches and hasn't gotten lazy or outright awful yet, so i can live with these for now. Sleeper ends it
*

Post match, Brutus cuts the jobbers hair. Story goes they got an extra couple of hundred bucks for it.

In the back, Ricky says he promised to be a fighting champion and next week he proves it.

In the back. HTM says he's going to need a new belt for his outfits.

WWF World Champion: Hulk Hogan-23/1/84
WWF Intercontinental Champion: Ricky Steamboat-29/3/87
WWF Tag Team Champions: The Hart Foundation-7/2/87

WWF Wrestling Challenge
June 7th, 1987
San Diego, CA

Match#1 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs Jerry Allen
Very decent 90 seconds for HTM as he's pissed the DDT isn't banned, so he batters the kid with some mean offence and treats like shit. SRR ends it.
*

WWF UPDATE-
-The Hart Foundation are very upset people think they're hiding behind the belts. Anvil says they will face anyone in any country or timezone.
-They chant they are not afraid.
-Nice to see them getting some promo time away from Jimmy.

They replay the Islanders/Can-Am's in full.

We come back to the booth where Bobby can't stop laughing about it. Gorilla is not happy at all.

Mean Gene-
-Gene and Patera talk about his wrestling background and whatnot
-Incredible how quickly this push died a death because he's a goon.

Match#2 Hercules w/Bobby Heenan vs Jerri Monti
Can not wait for Bobby to get actual good single wrestlers back in the family in place of this turd. Full Nelson ends in 30 seconds.
1?1*

Mean Gene-
-The Young Stallions are working hard and training with Hogan to become better and hopefully get a shot at the titles soon enough.

Match#3 George Steele vs Rudy Ryder
Oh joy, the hits just keep on coming tonight. Short and awful as always. Hammerlock does it.
1/2*

In the back, Slick again says he created the 747 and he's leading OMG to the very top of the WWF.

Match#4 The New Dream Team w/Johnny V vs The Young Stallions
Again, it's cool to see actual tag teams facing off as the division grows and grows. Good opening flurry from the pretty boys doing their fine ass basics before getting cut off. Bravo stinks to high Heaven, but Hammer carries the load kicking Roma's ass with all that great Hammer goodness. Bravo is both bland and bad, so there is nothing nice i can possibly find in him. Powers has a nice little hot tag as he shows something for a minute or so. He gets cut punched in the head by Bravo, and then Hammer hits the elbow to win.
**

Match#5 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs Bill Anderson
Fuck yeah. Randy Finally gets 3 minutes again so it's better than perfect because now he has more time to be a crazy person on top of being the best guy in the company. He does all the offence and throws this fat boy from pillar to post, and it's all sooooo good. Elbow Drop gets it done.
**

Mean Gene-
-Mr Fuji is here.
-Gene covers all of his men as Fuji says they're all sick and twisted like him. Demo love to make men to suffer and hit each other to make blood come out of each other. Khan is a former sumo champion and VERY ugly like no one else.
-Kamala and Sika walk on as Fuji says he's a 6 time tag team champion and Gene better not forget it.
-Fuji is asked to speak Japanese, BUT HE SAYS IN JAPAN EVERYONE IS EATING LUNCH RIGHT NOW AND NOT WATCHING SO HE CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW. VERY SORRY. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
-He says Kamala is hungry for something, and Gene begs him to get him food before he eats a person.
-PRO WRESTLING

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
June 13th, 1987
Buffalo, NY

TONIGHT. RICKY VS HTM FOR THE IC TITLE.

Match#1 The British Bulldogs vs Dusty Wolfe & Johnny K-9
Davey does the bulk of the work as DK is still badly hurt, so he really should just be a single guy at this point. Still, good shit from Davey as he's a freak of human tossing dudes around and killing them with sick power offence. He wins with a flying Heabutt of all things.
*3/4

WWF UPDATE-
-More Billy Graham nonsense
-HATE that no matter how hot and amazing WWF/E is, they still can't help but do something really dumb to make sure it's not all sunshine and roses.

Outback Jack enjoys the Ice Cream Bar

Match#3 The Islanders w/Bobby Heenan vs Eric Cooper & SD Jones
Haku gets to skullfuck and kill jobbers with zero backing off as he maybe had to do as a face, and holy shit it's a goddamn treat. Tama steps up big time as he hits really hard and uses his speed to fuck them up, so this turn is perfect for both of them. Can-Am's have a cut in swearing revenge for last week. Sure that'll happen and it won't end up with a MUCH cooler and better team on the other end. Islanders hit running headbutts to kill Cooper for the win.
**1/2

Mean Gene-
-Can-Am's repeat their earlier cut in about getting revenge and never trusting anyone again.

WATCH THE PREDATOR TO SEE JESSE BE THE MAIN STAR.

Match#4 The Junkyard Dog vs Terry Gibbs
JYD is back after being suspended for missing a series of house shows after Mania due to his worsening coke addiction. He's been told if he misses another he's gone, so lets see how long it takes until he fucks it up. THUMP FUCK ends it
THUMPER BUMPER COKE

Mean Gene-
-Outlaw Bass now has a giant rope with him and says he's going to bring Betsy to the ring with him and take some people out. He doesn't give a damn what cowards like Tunney say, she goes where he goes.
-He calls out Hogan and Steamboat as goody good guys and he can't wait to see what Betsy does to their backs and brings changes to the WWF.

Match#5 The New Dream Team w/Johnny V vs Scott Casey & Lanny Poffo
Like the last one, Hammer is the only saving grace as he's still a motherfucker of a wrestler and carries this dweeb as best he can. Bravo wins with his bad powerslam.
3/4*

Time for the Snake Pit. Jake brings on Hillbilly Jim and Little Beaver to talk about Mania. Super weird to do this 2 months later when Bundy has been MIA, and Jim hasn't done a thing either. They cover it and want to beat Bundy's butt. Whatever.

Ricky wants you to say no to drugs, Maybe you should have no to having a kid. Yeah, think about it.

Match#6 Ricky Steamboat (c) vs Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart (WWF Intercontiental Championship)
HTM jumps him from behind with a punch and decks him a few times, but Ricky skins the cat and dumps him to the outside and whips his ass. The crowd is insane for all of it as well, so it's rad as hell. Steamer stays on him and beats his face in with the chops and elbows, and HTM's selling is very good to his credit. HTM counter a cradle to send him head first into the buckles and attacks his head quick smart with sledges and it's very good times. Ricky fires back and looks to have it again as he counters the SSR and kicks his butt once more. He nails the top rope chop, but Jimmy distracts the ref. Ricky gets rid of him AND CRADLES HTM, BUT HTM REVERSES AND GRABS THE ROPES AND THE REF COUNT 3 AND HE STEALS THE TITLE. SON OF A BITCH NOT LIKE THIS.
**3/4

Super fun match and what should have been the start of a series, but Vince is a comically evil piece of shit who punished Steamer for daring to be a good father. So, this is the end of Ricky's massive push and he's gone by Mania IV. He will return under a terrible Dragon gimmick in 91 and do nothing of note until he quits when they ask him to lose to Undertaker. It sucks soooo much. Can't wait to finally get to JCP/NWA/WCW, so i can see him again.

Match#4 One Man Gang w/Slick vs Jerry Allen
OMG picks up my spirits with another tremendous fat man squash of the best kind. Sick offence and the jobber dies a ton of times, so i'm a happy fella. He crushes him dead with a falling knee to the back and then hits the Elbow to win.
**

Mean Gene-
-Mr Fuji says his boys smash and ax and he sees red when they do it. The devil is in him and he communicates with him
-Demo walk on and say it's a very big world with very big and bad men. When Fuji gives them that smile, it means they break bones. Legs and necks will break and they LOVE it.
-Ax calls Gene, Howard! He says all they need to do is follow Fuji and they'll reach the gold. Every night Fuji tells them what they did wrong out there, and it's always that they didn't send someone to the hospital. From the Bumble Bees to the Foundation, they're coming for everyone.
-He says Howard needs to learn that fact, and Gene says he must be thinking of someone else, and Ax responds he was thinking of him and that doesn't happen often.

HTM and Jimmy come out to the ring and say this was for them and he's damn proud of it. He sings and dances for the fans.

Jesus, what an episode.

WWF Wrestling Challenge
June 14th, 1987
Rochester, NY

Match#1 Kamala & Sika w/Mr Fuji & Kimchee vs Don Driggers & Mario Mancini
The monsters finally get 2 minutes to pull human skin off and smoosh and bash people, and it's very nice and heartwarming. Samoan Drop/Big Splash combo ends the fun.
**

In the back, The Islanders again say they're disgusted by the Islanders working with Heenan, and they will make them all pay.

Match#2 Brutus Beefcake vs Dusty Wolfe
Fine little Brutus outing as he struts and hits the kid for 90 seconds and wins with the Sleeper.
*

Post match, he cuts Wolfe's hair.

Mean Gene-
-The Killer Bees again struggle to speak a full sentence without stumbling and looking like dopes.
-They're coming for the tag titles is the gist

Match#3 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Eric Cooper
Awesome 60 second squash from the ugliest man in the world. Gross kicks, punches and wildman screaming all happen, and i dig it a lot. He drops a motherfucker of a knee of the top top win.
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Slick says he's won everything he's ever tried and being in the WWF means he wants the world title, and OMG is the perfect man to do it.
-OMG says slick treats him and his body all right and he's coming after and beating Hogan for the title. Bet on it.

Match#4 Junkyard Dog vs Steve Lombardi
THUMP

They replay Ricky/HTM

Match#5 Hillbilly Jim, SD Jones, & Billy Jack Haynes vs Iron Mike Sharpe, Bob Orton Jr., & Don Muraco
.Orton schools BJH on the mat and makes him look like a dick, so BJH fires back himself and looks far better than he has thus far to his credit. It all breaks down from there as the faces triple team the heels and we get some wonderful stooging. Don fights back and looks to have it hand, but he misses a Lariat and kills Orton by mistake. OH NO. BJH jumps on Bob and steals the win.
*

Post match, Orton and Don yell at each other.

We go to footage of ALL the heels hugging HTM after his win, and the biggest part is Randy giving him a massive bear hug.

 

[BigVanDonnie]

WWF SPECTRUM-20/6

Tito Santana vs Ron Bass
Bass gets dirty right away punching Tito off the break, so our hero fires up and kicks his big butt in revenge, and my goodness is it nice to see. He breaks out dat dropkick and smacks him around, and Bass' bumps are really cool for a dude as solid as him. Tito rips his head off with a nasty headlock for a while as he gets the most out of just choking a dude. Bass grabs the tights and throws him into the buckles to take over, and he unloads a sweet beating working the neck and face. Tito's selling is of course killer, as are his attempts to fight out of it. Bass controls for a long while and it's a touch long in the tooth, but mostly a good shit kicking. Tito gets back into with body punches and goes for the Figure Four, but Bass grabs the ref and pushes him for the DQ.
**1/4

Ricky Steamboat vs Kamala w/Mr Fuji
Woooooo. Ricky uses his speed and smarts to put the monster on the backfoot and does well until Kamala takes his face off with a superkick. Kamala kick his butt with amazing chops, kicks and all that fat man offence, and Steamer's selling is fantastic. Love that even him being in the dog house won't stop Ricky from being the man. Kamala really wreaks his ribs and batters him, and Steamer's attempted comebacks all rock. Kamala misses a charge and hits the buckles, and now Ricky fires back with wicked shots to the head. Ricky hits the top rope chop and goes for a second, but Kimchee grabs his leg to stop him, and Kamala plucks him off the top with a press slam and hits the running Splash for the massive upset.
**

Hulk Hogan & Ken Patera vs Hercules & King Harley Race w/Bobby Heenan
Hogan is in all white tonight in a odd choice, but props to changing things up. The faces Pearl Harbour them from the start with wonderful babyface fire. It slow downs and Race DRILLS Hogan with a headbutt and you can hear the smack. Hogan doesn't die and fires back and drops Race with all dat sweet offence, and we get insane Race bumps as a result. Ken joins in the fun and they beat the tar out of Herc. Race slips in a boot to Hogan's face to isolate him and attacks the neck with a proto- pedigree and headbutts on top of it. Just a super mean slow beating from this scary ass old man. Herc is also here and works the back for a while, and Hogan sells his ass off to help him out in a kind moment. Ken finally tags in and gets attacked right away by Race, and has his ass beaten for a couple of minutes, until he gets free and tags Hogan back in. Hulkster unloads all the amazing Hogan antics and pinballs the heels as only he can. He and Ken hit a double Lariat on Race to win.
**3/4

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
June 20th, 1987
Buffalo, NY

TONIGHT; THE HART FOUNDATION VS THE KILLER BEES.

Match#1 The Hart Foundation w/Jimmy Hart & Danny Davis vs The Killer Bees
Really fun opening minute or so as both Bees are buzz around super quick and make both the champs look the fools on the mat by countering everything they try, and the Bees rock in real matches. Bret cuts Jim off with a knee right to the guts and the champs beat him down with a focused attack on the ribs. Very good work and selling from all, and the crowd is wild throughout. Blair tries to help but Davis stops him by grabbing his leg, so the ref thankfully kicks him out by the cops. THE BEES SWITCH SPOTS AND PUT THE MASKS ON AND BLAIR KICKS BRET'S ASS AND THE BEES SWITCH AGAIN AND BEAT BRET WITH A SUNSET FLIP. BAW GAWD.
**1/2

Post match, Jesse flips his shit and demands Vince to justify this, and Vince just ignores him and praises the Bees.

WWF UPDATE-
-Recap of HTM's win
-They show the celebration backstage again. This time HTM speaks and says the fans were behind him all the way and he knew he could do this. He's never been beaten and now he's the champion.

Match#2George Steele vs Al Navarro
Steele runs right in and bites him and tears the buckles apart. He does Steele things and wins with the Hammerlock.
PRO WRESTLING.

Mean Gene-
-Hercules is going to use all his power to beat Ken Patera for Bobby Heenan.

THE JUMPING BOMB ANGELS ARE COMING TO THE WWF. FUCK YEAH.

Match#3 The Can-Am-Connection vs Rick Renslow & Dave Wagner
Hell yeah, man. The boys work a thousand miles an hour and finally look in sync with all their double teams hitting perfectly, and Zenk is finally stepping up. Of course this happens a few weeks before he quits in the middle of the nigh. They break out a sick Doomsday Dropkick to win
**

Mean Gene-
-Jimmy Hart says Gene is jealous because he's the manager of all the champions now. HTM walks on with his guitar and sings about Batman and Robin, and says he's looking for a fight in NYC. There's no one tough or bad enough there to face him, and he's proved Jake wasn't tough enough since he played that tune on his head. He's going to play his song for NYC because now they're his people.

Match#4 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Brian Costello
Khan prays in the ring before he murderises this dude. Jesse says Hogan has faced the very best, but he couldn't beat Khan. Fuck yeah, i want to see that match. Knee ends this one really quick.
1/2*

We go to the Snake Pit with Randy and Liz as the guests!!!!!! Randy gives props to HTM and asks Jake how he feels about that. Jake calls him a liar about being happy, and Randy says he sees it all in proper perspective now and he's coming after Hulk Hogan. He's going to be the new world champion. Macho Madness will surpass Hulkamania and he will take the title. Jake says he never took Ricky, and now he thinks he can take Hogan. Randy snaps and screams he's #1 and Hogan is #2 and you've gotta be stupid to not figure that out. He guarantees victory, and Jake says he doesn't think he will get it done.

Superstar Billy is still a sack of piss.

Match#5 Billy Jack Haynes vs Steve Lombardi
90 seconds of standard bad BJH wrestling. Full Nelson ends it.
1/4*

Before the main event, Bobby brings Bundy and Mr Wonderful back from the void and into the Family once more.

Match#6 Hercules, King Harley Race, King Kong Bundy, & Paul Orndorff w/ Bobby Heenan vs Mario Mancini, Don Driggers, Jim Powers, & Paul Roma
Awesome as hell 3 minutes of everyone bar Herc looking great and mean, and it's so nice to have them all back together again. Everyone gets their shine and Jesse is SO thrilled about all of it. Wonderful wins with his Piledriver.

WWF Wrestling Challenge
June 21st, 1987
Rochester, NY

Bobby slowly walks out to the booth holding his neck as Gorilla makes fun of him. What a dick.

Match#1 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs Paul Roma
Gorilla says HTM is going to be "unliveable" as champion in another moment proving he can't talk at all. Really good outing for HTM as he beats rat boys ass with some really good looking clubs and punches, and it's good times. Randy has a cut in congratulating HTM, and says they're both going to the top of the mountain. SSR ends the fun.
*3/4

Post match, HTM gets the mic says Gorilla will now see what a real champion looks like.

Interviews-
-The Bulldogs say Matilda gives them advice on how to win matches and keep an eye on everything.

Match#2 Ken Patera vs Rick Renslow
We see a bunch of fans wearing neck-braces and laughing at Bobby in a wonderful moment. Gorilla says none of the Family can match credentials with Kenny, SO BOBBY SAYS HE RIGHT BECAUSE NONE OF THEM EVER DID TIME. AMAZING. Bad squash for a couple of minutes of Kenny selling far too much in between crappy looking offence. Bearhug does it.
1/2*

Mean Gene-
-The Can-Am's call the division hotter than ever, and Rick says he's never seen it like this in all his years.
-He wants to know what type of deal Islanders made with Bobby Heenan, because they are not part of the deal and they won't be treated as a stepping stone.
-Zenk says they taught them never to turn their backs on anyone in the WWF and they will get revenge before winning the tag titles.
-You sir a big fat liar.

Match#3 The Islanders w/Bobby Heenan vs Lanny Poffo & Scott Casey
This gets 3 and half minutes!! The boys kick the dog shit out of the jobbers with insane speed and gross offence. Haku claws at the jobbers eyes and goes for his throat as well, and the dude has turned into a stone cold murderer over night. Lanny goes on a sweet run with arm drags and dropkicks and it's a blast, but the fellas cut him off and kill him for it. Double Headbutt for the win.
**1/2

Mean Gene-
-Don and Bob are the guests this week.
-Gene brings up the tiff from last week, and Don says sometimes in the heat of battle people don't have control over themselves, When they are lesser and not as good, they lose that control and they can't help it.
-Bob says they'll get back together as a team and smooth things out, and he's even wearing his Hawaiian shirt. He has an ego and Don is clumsy sometimes!! Don jumps in and says it wasn't his fault as they argue to close it.

Match#4 Koko B Ware vs Johnny K9
Hell yeah. Koko backdrops a ton of times and unloads all his amazing offence on this scumbag, and it's just the best stuff possible. Also helps he's doing it to this shitter who more than deserves it. Ghostbuster kills him dead.
**

Interviews-
-Danny Davis thinks the quality of officiating has gone down since the WWF let him go.

BJH DOESN'T DO DRUGS AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Match#5 One Man Gang w/Slick vs Brian Costello
OMG tackles the kid into the ropes and strangles him with them, and then he goes on the attack towards the throat and it's fucking killer. He batters the hell out of him time and time again, and wins with the Gordbuster.
**

Match#6 Demolition w/Mr Fuji vs Jim Powers & Jerry Allen
POWERS PUNCHES AX AND JUST STANDS THERE DURING IT AND THEN PUNCHES HIM. Demo unleash 3 minutes of a goddamn murder and then some with tons of clubbering and kicks and elbows, and i'm in heaven pretty much. Allen is tossed to the floor and beaten down for something different before Demo wreak his life for the hell of it. Decapitation kill him.
**

Mean Gene-
-Randy is delighted for HTM and he'll throw his hand down the video scope for him.
-He's the future of pro wrestling and the next WWF champion and let him repeat himself, yeah dig it. Hogan can speak his peace right now if has something to say, AND HE HEARS NOTHING. Gene says he's not here, and Randy says that's too bad. He's going to win the world title when they meet and that's a fact.
-Gene asks if becoming champ means he sees Liz again, and Randy says he's doing things his way and it stays that way.
-Hogan is #2 and he's #1 and its the way of things.
-He yells at Gene to stay on his good side or die, jack. Gene says this is his good side and in many talks with Liz, she's told him that Randy is actually quite fond of him.
-No personalities come into play because you're looking at the next world champion.

WWF Tag Team Champions: The Hart Foundation-7/2/87

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
June 27th, 1987
Buffalo, NY

Tonight; The Heenan Family in the Snake Pit.

Before the first match, Fink brings out Mr T as a special guest to all the fans. HTM teases fighting him, but backs off as the fans beg T to kill him.

Match#1 Honky Tonk Man vs David Stoudemire
One of the most jobberriffic names ever makes his debut. HTM is all angry and kills the kid and wins with the SSR in 20 seconds.
1/2*

Post match, HTM sings and dances.

WWF UPDATE-
-Butch and Slick give Billy props for being an old dude trying to make a comeback, but back in the day was when he the best and there's a new sheriff in town.
-Butch says he never looked like him in his wildest dreams with this body and mind as he's all natural. He doesn't care about him at all because he's Mr 1987 and everyone else is second rate.
-Butch says he'll see him next week so they can compare a broken down old horse to the new man.

Match#2 Koko B Ware vs Jose Estrada
Jose is back. Fuck yea, man. He has some sweet bumps in between a little bit token offence, and then Koko kicks his butt in classic Koko fashion for another fun squash. Don and Bob have a cut in saying all is fine. It is in fact, not fine. Dropkick and Ghostbuster does it.
**

Mean Gene-
-Gene is now hyping up Medowlands on the 9th.
-Davis will be facing Steele in a steel cage match.
-We have no footage of what could be one of the worst possible matches ever, sadly.

Match#3 One Man Gang w/Slick vs Eric Cooper
OMG now gets 2 minutes to play and maul. He uses his fat and wonderful slams to bash the kids body, and my goodness does it rock a ton. Mr T joins commentary as Vince says WWF is now looking for an un-biased enforcer to fix things, and he wants to know if its him. T says it is him and he's ready to fix it after seeing how bad all the refs have gotten as of late. OMG caves the jobbers face in and hits that sick knee to the back off the top and wins with the Elbow to the back.
**

Mean Gene-
-Ken Patera is still coming after Hercules and Heenen
-Maybe having no footage isn't all bad.



FUCK YEAH EVERYONE HAS A PRICE.

Match#4 Brutus Beefcake,The Rougeau Brothers vs Johnny K-9, Jimmy Jack Funk, & Iron Mike Sharpe
3 minutes as well, and it's awesome to see WWF giving everyone some time. Brutus is fine again and does ok for himself, but the Brothers are just perfect and show off how cool they are with all the sick double teams and super smooth offence. K9 gets his face rammed into the mat by Le Cannon-Ball for the win
**

Post match, Sharpe tries to attack, so the faces fight him off and hold him so Brutus can take some of his hair. NO LEAVE HIM ALONE.

It's time for Snake Pit with the entire Heenan Family. Jake says he must need protection for all he's done, and Bobby says that's a lie. He brings them all out one by one sans Andre, and it's an all time monsters row of freaks and killers. Bobby says he's had enough of taking abuse and having people hurt him, so any so called tough guy have another thing coming and they will pay dearly. That criminal Patera is getting it first.

Match#5 Ken Patera vs Frankie Lane
90 crappy seconds once more as this dude just suuuuuucks so much and needs to fuck off. The Family watches from the aisle and makes a plan. Bearhug gets it.
1/2*

Post match, the entire Family walks down and corners him. He tries to fight, but the numbers are too much and they kick the shit out of him. They hold him down so Wonderful can smack him with Bobby's belt for sweet revenge for a few weeks ago. All of them get a turn including Heenan, and it's such a heartwarming moment. They kick him some more before refs finally get them out of there. Fantastic angle.

PREDATOR IS A 90 MINUTE JESSE MOVIE.

Match#6 Demolition w/Mr Fuji vs Lanny Poffo & Jerry Allen
Wooooooo love to see them on back to back shows. 2 minute of pure Demolition (GET IT) of all that amazing offence as they're the perfect duo now, and all they need is the theme. They have a cut in saying they're here to destruct everyone and mow them all down when they get in their way. Decapitation ends young Lanny's night.
**

Mean Gene-
-Mr Fuji says Sika is in a river fishing right now looking for dinner, so he only has Kamala with him,
-He gives the big man honey and says it's the best way to get bees and honey brings him lots of energy as he's very hungry.

In the back, Ken is dead and sad as BJH and Brutus check on him and try to pick his spirts up. Give him a line and walk that shit off.

AMAZING episode.

WWF Wrestling Challenge
June 28th, 1987
Rochester, NY

Tonight; Hammer vs Raymond Rougeau.

Before the match, the announcer brings Mr T out again. Randy now gets mad at and turns his back on him in a sick show of defiance.

Match#1 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs David Stoudemire
Randy snaps and kills the kid super quick and wins with the Elbow in about 30 seconds.
YEAH DIG IT

Interviews-
-JYD loves God, coke and wrestling
-I'd assume not in that order.

Match#2 Greg Valentine w/Dino Bravo vs Raymond Rougeau w/Jaques Rougeau
Hammer wastes no time with elbows and punches and drags him down to the mat to work on the knee, and Ray has to fight like hell to get anything going and his comeback rocks a ton. Hammer cuts him off and batters his legs some more and wreaks the knee, and Ray's selling rules as he's holding it and struggling to move. Ray somehow powers through and fights back with some fun offence on one leg, but Dino trips him and everyone fights for the DQ.
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Hercules thanks Bobby for everything he has done for him to make him even stronger and in better shape than any time before in his life. He's ready for war with Ken anywhere and anytime.

Match#3 The Can-Am-Connection vs Jimmy Jack Funk & Terry Gibbs
Little shorter than normal at 2 minutes, but still a lot of fun as they balls of speed and wild as hell. Zenk is really getting better so it sucks he's done soon. Martel is god as per, and i'm glad beyond words he's staying, Doomsday Dropkick ends it
**

Match#4 Hercules, Paul Orndroff & King Harley Race w/Bobby Heenan vs ???
Jobbers aren't named for some reason, but it's a good beating on them nonetheless. Race and Wonderful kick some serious booty with mean and grumpy offence, and Herc is also here. Piledriver ends it.
*

Interciews-
-Mr T says what he said on commentary last week, so yeah nothing new to add.

Match#5 Outlaw Ron Bass vs Frankie Lane
Hell yeah. Outlaw says Betsy will come everywhere with him and show them why she's the boss. Bass kicks the snot out of the old man with wicked shots to the head and body, and i can't wait for him to have a proper feud now that Blackjack is gone. Bass wins with the no hands Pedigree.
**

They replay HF/Bees.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
July 4th, 1987
Indianapolis, IN

We start the show with Jesse saying he made 46 million at the boxoffice in 10 days thanks to Predator.

TONIGHT. KHAN VS OUTBACK.

Match#1 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs Sonny Rodgers
Yeah Dig it. Randy now gets 90 seconds to do his amazing and perfect thing and it rules, but the biggest thing is the crowd being 100% behind him for all of it. Elbow ends it.
**

WWF UPDATE-
-Recap of the Family attacking Ken with the belts last week.
-Ken speaks and says he's never been so humiliated in his life AND YOU HAVE CREATING A MONSTER OUT OF ME AND I WILL RID THE SCUM THAT YOU STAND FOR.

Match#2 Kamala & Sika w/Mr Fuji & Kimchee vs Jim Powers & Mario Mancini
Sweet monster murder as is the course because they're the best. Fuji has a cut in saying he has a new man who can dropkick and fly along with hurting people, and his name is BAM BAM. OH SHIT. Samoan Drop and Splash does it.
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Gene is now wearing new glasses and looks amazing
-HTM and Jimmy are here and ready to face Jake in Boston and make boots of him. Nothing will mess his Saturday night after he rides him like a studd horse and goes home with the IC title.




Match#3 Tito Santana vs Terry Gibbs
Fuck yeah, Tito gets 3 minutes and is finally free of any turds holding him back. He wreaks the old man's arms and body with classic Tito offence, and my goodness is just a great thing to see once more. Forearm ends the fun.
**

Mean Gene-
-Gene is still wearing the glasses.
-The Can-Am's say the same things they've been saying for weeks and weeks with nothing new to add. Given Zenk is is gone within the next week, i'm not too upset.

We go backstage to Butch and Slick being shown footage of Billy Graham working out. Butch isn't impressed at all is because Billy isn't natural like him.
-WHY IS THIS A FEUD??????

Match#4 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Outback Jack
Khan mauls and eats this dweeb up with his kicks and elbows for two minutes, and it's not bad at all for the most part. Jack sucks a ton and adds nothing with his bad selling and offence. Khan spits Mist in his eyes and hits the Knee Drop to win.
3/4*

Post match, Jack is taken to the back with a towel over his face. Goodbye, mate.

It's time for the Snake Pit with the Killer Bees. They come out wearing those fucking masks and Jake goes with it and talks to them about beating HF a few weeks ago. They still can't speak at all and struggle, so Jake does the heavy lifting and hypes the feud for them as best he can.

Match#5 Brutus Beefcake vs Chris Curtis
Really short and not much at all before Beefer wins with the Sleeper.
1/2*

Post match, Brutus cuts his hair as Jesse says this is a crime and should at least cut Bruno's hair. Brutus sprays pink hairspray onto the jobbers head before waking him up and showing him his face in the mirror. Fuck it, this rules despite it being Brutus fucking Beefcake.

Interviews-
-Danny Davis is not happy about Mr T being named an enforcer when he was such a great referee before Tunney unjustly fired him.

We. see more footage of the Jumping Bomb Angels being amazing.

Match#6 The Islanders w/Bobby Heenan vs SD Jones & Frankie DeFalco
God Yes. Haku gives no shits once again and just murks the fat jobber with mean as hell offence slamming his head into the mat and just killing him dead. Bobby has a cut in saying the Family is growing and he's bringing in BAM BAM. Jesse is very confused because he thought Fuji got him. Tama does cool stuff as well in between some cool bumps for SD, and it's awesome to see how good they are as heels. Tama wins with the big splash.
**

Mean Gene-
-Jake Roberts is wearing a Death Valley Beach Club shirt.
-He says he only needs one shot at the IC title and HTM, and he's going to take him. Lot of men looking at the sky but take no times to look at the stars, and there is no way HTM can possibly win. He's the type of man you don't step in front of when he's driving a car because he'll take you out.
-He warns Jimmy that Damien will get him if he tries anything, and he can have HTM back with a fork in him.

July 5th, 1987
Louisville, KY

Match#1 Jake Roberts vs Tony Leone
Jake is back in the ring after a few weeks away and it's a welcomed sight. Too short at 90, but still very fun because Jake takes his head off and batters his dumb ass all over the place, DDT ends it.
*

Post match, Jake drops Damien onto the kid.

Lanny enjoys the Ice Cream Bar.

Match#2 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs Jim Powers
HTM also gets a little over 90 as it's one of those episodes it would seem, sadly. Gorilla says he doubts Bobby has Bam Bam Bigelow, and then Jimmy has a cut in saying he's gotten Bam Bam on his team. Bobby says that's wishful thinking on his part. THIS RULES. SRR ends a dull affair.
3/4*

Post match, HTM sings and plays his guitar.

Mean Gene-
-The Killer Bees talk about seeing some fireworks last night for July 4th and they met a girl who told them to give Gene a bottle of some special.
-They want the tag titles and whatnot.

Match#3 Brutus Beefcake vs Frank DeFalco
Good Brutus squash as he's throwing good knees again and laying in all his shots, and it's nice to see him give a shit again. Sleeper does it.
*

Post match, he cuts his hair and dyes the bald spot, and then shows it off in the mirror like last week.

Match#4 Demolition w/Mr Fuji vs SD Jones & Paul Roma
Now we're fucking talking. Demo main and kill these goofy fucks with all that sweet mean as hell offence, and the jobbers take a ton of nasty bumps for them and it's a blast. Roma loses his head for the loss.
**

They replay the attack on Patera.

Match#5 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Mike Richards
KK gets 3 minutes in the longest squash of the night for some reason, and its at least good but like give Demo that time ffs. Khan sprays the mist and wins with the knee.
*1/2

Indianapolis, IN

Match#1 Iron Mike Sharpe vs Ken Patera
Better and more awesome wrestler goes first in the list from now on. Iron carries this complete nothing to his best squash in weeks with wild screaming and bumping for everything he's hit with, and it's exactly what a squash should always look like. Bearhug does it.
*3/4

WWF UPDATE-
-We see footage of DiBiase throwing money into the crowd at a house show. He narrates over the top and says he doesn't do this because he's a nice man, he does it because he loves watching the swine in the muck fighting over his money. EVERYONE HAS A PRICE.

Match#2 Hercules, King Kong Bundy, & King Harley Race w/ Bobby Heenan vs Mario Mancini, Jim Evans, & Paul Roma
Love to see the Family getting back onto TV after being shunted for a while in favour of some terrible heel acts. Once again, Herc is very bad and adds nothing, but the other two are fantastic killers and more than carry the load. Bobby has a cut in saying that Fuji has made a mistake saying he has Bam Bam, when its actually him. Bundy murders a kid with an Elbow to the heart and the 5 count.
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Gene hypes up the upcoming MSG show.
-Brutus walks on with his snazzy white coat and says he's going to become the strongest man in NYC thanks to the fans, and he will cut Hammer's hair for them and himself as they chant for him.

Match#3 The Can-Am-Connection vs Terry Gibbs & Dusty Wolfe
Woooo lets do it again for maybe the last time. Tons of speed based offence and cool double teams as they're again getting more and more awesome just as it's going to blow up. Martel is pulled out to the ring when the ropes are pulled down and he takes a SICK bump the floor and is dead for a minute or so as the jobbers kick his ass. Zenk tags in and really goes wild with dropkicks and the like, and it's about damn time, Doomsday Dropkick ends it.
**

Mean Gene-
-Hogan is ready for war against Khan. All the Hulksters live for him and he gets off on that as he goes to war for them each and every time. Khan can't handle the pythons, and he's got his eyes on Fuji just in case.
-Hogan says he sees the sins of mankind in Fuji's eyes and he's going to fight and eat them all alive as Hulkamania is coming, jack dude.

Replay of Khan using the mist on Jack.

Match#4 Jake Roberts vs Brian Costello
Another sick but far too short Jake squash with all the goodies of arm work and amazing offence thrown in throughout. DDT does the deed.
*3/4

Post match, the jobber meets Damien.

WWF SPEICAL REPORT-
-Craig covers all the horrible things Davis did when he was a referee, and how he was fired and hired by Jimmy.
-Craig now speaks about Mr T's new job and how Davis hates it.
-If SummerSlam was a thing at thing at this point, you just know this would have been a match.

Match#5 The New Dream Team w/Johnny vs Lanny Poffo & Silvi Afi
V now has a cut in saying Bam Bam is an old friend of his and he's part of the team as of now. Bad squash as Hammer is left out of it for the most part, and Dino is a scum sucking dweeb. Brutus joins commentary to hype the feud, and he says nothing new. Figure Four ends it.
1/2*

Post match, Hammer won't let it go, SO BRUTUS RUNS DOWN AND CUTS HS HAIR AS HE CAN'T FIGHT IT. FUCK YEAH.

In the back, Butch again says Graham is a bum and he's gong to do a pose down next week to show him what a natural looks like. NOOOOOOOO.

Match#6 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs Omar Atlas
Jimmy has a cut in telling all of the managers to back off because he's got him and he's showing footage next week. Short and not much from HTM as he gives the jobber far too much and it's not good. SSR ends it.
1/2*

Mean Gene-
-Hercules is still very strong and very dumb

 

[BigVanDonnie]

WWF BOSTON GARDEN-11/7

Tito Santana vs Don Maurco
Oh shit, the old masters meet one more time out of nowhere and i'm here for it no matter how must time has passed. Don tries to bully him like he used, and Tito has none of it and cracks him. Don stalls for a minute and then fires back with gross knee to the ribs to knock him down and then beat the absolute shit out of the leg with the post and wonderful shithead mean as possible offence, and it's the best stuff. Tito sells his ass off as you'd expect, the best part is him screaming and hollering as it gets worse and worse. Tito shoves him off and tries to fight back but Don holds him off, BUT TITO GETS A SUNSET FLIP OUT OF NOWHERE AND GETS THE 3.
**3/4

Post match, Orton gets in and yells at Don about it and is a real dick, and Don looks at the end of his rope about it. Bob keeps yelling at him, SO DON WALKS OFF AND OFFERS HIS HAND TO TITO AND HIS OLD ENEMY TAKES IT. FUCK YEAH. Orton screams and freaks out as Don walks out with him.

Match#1 The Junkyard Dog vs Brian Costello
THUMP

WWF Special report
-Craig covers Khan now using the mist to blind people.

Match#2 The Islanders w/Bobby Heenan vs Mario Mancini & Jerry Allen
V joins commentary and says he's the one who got Bam Bam, and he's sick of all these jokers saying otherwise. Wonderful outing from the fellas as always happens when they get 3 minutes to kick the hell out of people and display some of the coolest offence in the company. Haku breaks out a dropkick to crush a kids face in a scary and wicked as hell moment from the man. Double Headbutts ends it.
**

Mean Gene-
-Gene brings on Ken as he covers him being gang whipped by the Family.
-Ken says they're a goon squad and he hates himself for ever falling in with them, and he's going to strap them and get his revenge. He's going to take them out one by one until it's just him and Heenan and no creep or freak can stop him.
-PAYBACKS WILL BE PAID.

Match#3 The Killer Bees vs Bob Orton & Don Muarco
Gorilla tells Bobby what V said earlier, and Heenan says he's an out and out liar. Don beats the shit out of Blair to start and it turns into a sick back and forth before Bee goes on a flurry and kicks both the heels tails as they keep messing it up. The Bees keep it up as the heels get more and more pissy towards each other as it happens. Bob finally cracks Jim to isolate him, and we get a short but very angry and fun control seg on him. Everyone gets in and fights as the ref is shoved over by an angry Orton!! He comes too and DQ's them.
*3/4

Post match, Don and Bob argue again before the camera cuts away.

Mean Gene-
-Hammer calls Brutus the weak link and promises to prove it in NYC.

Match#4 One Man Gang w/Sick vs Jim Evans
Killer 60 second murder form OMG, Slick has a cut in saying he's the one who got Bam Bam, and Bobby is not pleased at all. Gordbuster ends it.
*

In the back, The Family laughs at what they did to Patera.

Match#5 The Hart Foundation w/Jimmy Hart vs Cpl. Kirchner & Omar Atlas
The fellas get 3 minutes to close the show and it;s sooooooooo good. Super smooth and mean as hell as they've got this shit down so easy and good, it's actually quite scary see it. They hang Atlas in the corner and kick the crap out of him in gross fashion, and the poor kid lands on his head after it's all done. Hart Attack does the job.
