WWF Wrestling Challenge
April 26th, 1987
Columbus, OH


Tonight; Islanders vs Rougeau's

Match#1 The Can-Am-Connection vs Steve Lombardi & Iron Mike Sharpe
Good 3 minutes for Martel and his dweeby little brother. Smooth and rad and the coolest stuff, and Tom falls on his face a few times and is a funny fella. Slingshot does it.
*1/2

Match#2 Billy Jack Haynes vs Tiger Chung Lee

Horrible as all hell, and i'm not sure who sucks more tbh. Full Nelson does the deed
1/2*

Mean Gene-
-HTM again demands the DDT be banned. Gene asks if the SSR should be banned, and Honky says the fans love that and it would be dumb to ban it. Peggy Sue loves to watch him shake rattle and roll. He's going to ban the DDT, get rid of Jake and dominate the WWF.

Jim and Jack want to eat Emu eggs.

Match#3 The Hart Foundation w/Jimmy Hart vs Nick Kiniski & Joe Mirto
More good stuff for our beloved champs. They just sync so well together and pretty much can't miss unless booking fucks them, and it thankfully hasn't happened yet. Hart Attack gets it
**

Mean Gene-
-Koko is ALL fired up and sings a happy song about wrestling and all the fans who love him.

Match#4 The Islanders vs The Rougeau Brothers
The brothers have to slow them down right away as the Islanders want to use speed to cook them, and it's a cool chess match to watch play out. Islanders get violent with some nasty kicks and isolate Ray, and Heenan is very impressed by them. They beat him down very well and adapt right away with heel control work cutting off the ring and wreaking his ass whenever he tries to fight back. Jaques finally has enough and jumps them and they all fight on the outside in a siiiick brawl and they get counted out.
**3/4

Tme for the Snake Pit with Hacksaw. He rants about seeing these bums with their flags and singing and thinking all American's are rich and lazy, and that's not him at all. He doesn't party at clubs or read horoscopes. He fights. The 2x4 is his friend and when someone breaks the rules, he uses it.

Match#5 Kamala & Sika w/Mr Fuji vs SD Jones & Alex Knight
Can-Am's have a cut in challenging them a fight. YES. Short and great murder from our wild men. Squash ends it in about 45 seconds

1/2*

WWF BOSTON GARDENS-MAY 2ND

Demolition w/Mr Fuji vs The Islanders
Speaks to how big Demo's push is that Fuji is actually here on a house show, when only Jimmy and Bobby normally do that. Islanders use their speed to put them on the back foot and Demo rock fighting back, and it's a great cat and mouse game. Haku uses his power to work Ax's arm and gets far with it, and Tama joins in with a big splash to it. Demo cut him off with the classic knee to the back and go to work. Fuji helps choke him with the cane to further hurt him, and Demo bash and club the hell out of him in our first great Demo live event piece of work. Tama is wreaked and gets kicked out of the ring and has his foot stuck in the ropes and hung upside down, and Demo beat the shit out of him and attack him on the outside. Tama has a great flurry and manages to take in Haku for a sweet hot tag. He batters them and holds nothing back and sends them crumpling on the mat. Everyone fights and Fuji gives Ax his cane, and the big man crushes Tama's throat to steal it.
**3/4

Hulk Hogan (c) vs King Harley Race (WWF World Championship)

Race drops him with a punch right to the face and stalks him with punch after punch, and Hogan's selling is fantastic for 30 seconds until he fires back and wastes him like a cocaine fiend doing his last line. It rules is what i'm saying. Hulkster bashes his head in and doesn't let up at all, and we get some awesome Race bumps for each attack. Harley catches him with a forearm to the throat and knees him as well to take over. Super fun control seg as he slowly beats the crap out of him with big shots, and Hogan sells his ass off for all of it. Race goes for the Piledriver on the concrete, but Hogan reverses and drops him on it and we get that ungodly thud when Race hits, Harley somehow fights back and locks in a sleeper to wear him down more, and i must say Hogan's sleeper selling has always been tremendous and this is no different. Hogan fights out and hulks up on him, but Race drops him in the mouth with a fucking headbutt He hits him again and busts him wide open!!! He smacks him again with one and goes for the top rope one, but Hogan moves and Race eats a ton of shit and Hogan rolls him up to win. That ruled.
***

Race tries to attack, but Hogan fights him off. Hogan goes back to posing, AND RACE RUNS IN AND KILLS HIM WITH A CROWN SHOT TO THE HEAD TO KNOCK HIM OUT. HE HITS HIM AGAIN AND HOGAN IS DEAD. He leaves as a bunch of refs have to help Hogan out.


We go to a Hogan promo afterwards where he says it's been hell before and since Mania and it's always on his shoulders. He's had it up to here and so have the fans. Andre did something nice compared to what he just did to him. Some poeple make crazy choices and go to prison for life, and he's about to make one. All he cares about is getting revenge in Boston with no ref and no rules all for the world title. If he can't beat him after all of this, he'll hand the world title to Heenan and walk away forever.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
May 2nd, 1987
Worcester, MA


TONIGHT; BRUTUS VS JOHNNY V. BOBBY VS PATERA IN A DEBATE. RANDY SAVAGE BACK IN ACTION.

Before his match, Randy goes nuts as they introduce him as the former champion. He says he's the uncrowned IC and World champion and he's telling Tunney and the world...SD attacks him during his rant.

Match#1 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs SD Jones
SD has a fun series of offence as he throws Savage around and beats his ass, and we get some amazing Savage bumps for the first time since Mania. Randy fights back and knees him into the post and beats the fuck out of him as he's now even more insane without the title. He kills him dead and hits the Elbow to win.
**

Post match, Randy hits it again and throws him to the floor. AND HE HITS THE AXE HANDLE TO KILL HIM MORE. FUCK YEAH RANDY.

In a pre-tape, Steele says nothing about his match against Randy tonight on SNME. Love to see them finally talking about it.

WWF UPDATE-
-Crag DeGeorge talks about who is the real master of the Full Nelson
-BJH says he's not better than anyone else, but they didn't get a winner in front of millons and he got 30 stitches his head because of that chain. He wants some revenge.

In a pre-tape, V calls Brutus the weak link and says he gave his boys the night off.

Brutus is now going by "The Barber" and he has giant scissors with him.

Match#2 Brutus Beefcake vs Johnny V
90 second feel good murder of V. Brutus now debuts the sleeper to win.
STRUTTIN AND CUTTIN

Post match, Brutus cuts V's hair and moustache. Bless him for finding a gimmick he can do forever.

Mean Gene-
-He hypes up the Boston show we just covered as the timeline gets a bit messy.
-Jake says he's going to enjoy seeing the people of Boston as he takes care of HTM. He calls him a liar and imitator and he has no respect for any of them. Jake says he has a theory that the man who dies with the most toys win, and he feels nothing as the minute so he needs to shut Honky up to feel better.

Match#3 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Nelson Veilluex
Hey he's back. Cool knees and elbows and weird faces as he's still a goofy guy, but he's at least hitting hard to make up for it. Fuji has a cut in saying he loves to make people ugly and this is just the start. He wins with a gross jumping knee to the face off the top.
*

Outback Jack is enjoying the ice cream bars.

Sika and Kamala fight over crabs, so Kimchee gives them one each so they can eat and be happy.

Match#3 The Can-Am Connection vs Dusty Wolfe & Rocky Stone
3 Awesome minutes this week as shorter means better and less Zenk being a bum. Martel rules so damn much once more doing these cool counters like a double monkey flip and kicking a ton of ass. Zenk is isolated for 50 seconds and does ok for himself before tagging in our hero. Martel lights them up and wins with the Slingshot Splash.
**

In a pre-tape, Blackjack again tells Bass to leave his plump missing teeth girlfriend alone or he's going to kill him.

Gene covers all the Patera videos.

We now go to the ring for the debate. Gene is hosting and says they get equal time to talk and respond to each other. Heenan demands he go first as he calls this a disgrace to stand here in front of a man who should be locked away. He calls him an ex con. Ken says he loves living in a country where he can pay his debt and leave it behind him. He's proud to be an Olympic athlete and to be back in the WWF. Bobby calls him an ex con again and stars swearing as a scroll comes on the bottom of the screen saying they had no choice but to censor it. AMAZING. It comes back on Bobby calls him an animal that needs to be locked away., Ken says he proud to be done with him and his family, and says he had a lot of time to think about guys like him who leave them all alone and never called him or sent him a letter or even came to see him. He abandoned him and never said a word to his family which was against what he promised him. Bobby says he's a businessman and not a babysitter and it's not his job to protect him. He doesn't give a damn about his wife or snot nosed brats. Ken says he's beyond done with him. Bobby says he bought him nothing but trouble and not even a belt, AND HE CAN HAVE THIS ONE AS HE TAKES HIS OFF AND TRIES TO ATTACK HIM. KEN EASILY FIGHTS HIM OFF AND WRAPS IT AROUND BOBBY'S NECK AND HURLS HIM TO THE GROUND AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD. Bobby is taken out on a stretcher. Incredible angle.

Match#4 Adrian Adonis w/Jimmy Hart vs Jake Milliman
This is AA's last match as he's fired shortly after for either being too fat, his drug problems or being a dick about having to put Brutus over. Either way this ends and it sucks as he's dead within a year from a car crash. Just a horrible sad tale of a man who should have done a lot more. Sleeper ends it.

WWF SATURDAY NIGHT'S MAIN EVENT
MAY 2ND, 1987
SOUTH BEND, IN
JOYCE CENTER


-Randy says he remembers when Steele kidnapped his manger and stole his IC title, now it's time for revenge in a Lumberjack match. He will make him pay and he will survive.
-Ricky says he's going to melt Hercules chain when he defends the title against him.
-The Foundation are sick of those puppies complaining and crying about everything, so tonight they end this
-Hacksaw promises to break his 2x4 over Nik's head if he sings that stinking commie anthem.
-Bobby Heenan says he has footage to prove that Andre won the match and he's the real world champion.
-Hogan says these stinky liars need to stop, and he will show the real footage of how he overcame the greatest challenge of his career.

They show the footage of Patera attacking Heenan.

Mean Gene-
-Kamala, Fuji and Kimchee are here and we learn he's fighting Jake.
-Kamala is deathly afraid, but Fuji says he was born in the year of the snake and he will help Kamla overcome the fear.
-Jake says Damien wants this fight and when Gene asks why, Jake shoves it in Gene's face and laughs.

Match#1 Jake Roberts vs Kamala w/Mr Fuji & Kimchee
The big man attacks from behind and unloads those sweet kicks to the back and neck, and Vince says this is the smart play as they were injured by HTM. Jake stomps on Kamala's bare feet to get in an amazing idea, and the big man stumbles all over the place in pain. Kamala gets revenge and beats the crap out of him with fat man offence crushing and stomping him whenever he can, and Jake's selling is tremendous as hell. Jake leaves the ring and makes him give chase and he catches him with the knee when he gets back into the ropes. Fuji distracts the ref, and Kim hits Jake with the cane and Kamala hits the splash for the massive upset.
**3/4

KIMCHEE TAKES OFF THE MASK TO REVEAL THAT IT'S HONKY TONK MAN! AWWWW SON OF A BITCH. He attacks the ribs and kills him with the SRR, and shouts this is what the people want. Awesome stuff.

The lumberjacks are at ringside, and the referees have to separate The Hart Foundation and the Bulldogs at ringside.

In the back, Gene interviews George Steele. He understands nothing and just says NICE.

In the back, Gene interviews Savage and Liz. Savage takes offense to being called a former champion and says he is the true Intercontinental Champion. He makes Liz call him Champ, and she does it. Savage says Steele cost him the title, and he knows Ricky Steamboat will be on the floor and tells him to watch because revenge will be his, yeah. ELIZABETH, DOWN THAT AISLE. DO THE THING.

Hercules trips Ricky and they get broken up.

Match#2 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs George Steele (Lumberjack Match)
You know the score by now as you're smart and have read me watch this thing 5000 times. Randy works for two and takes big bumps like a nutcase to make it work, and Steele is awful and bad and needs to go away forever. The jacks do their thing and it's good as all the feuds end up fighting on the outside in what should happen during these. Steele headbutts Davis on the outside, so Danny sneaks in when everyone fights and hits him with the ring bell. Randy hits the elbow to win. Great, Savage can't even beat this doofus clean. Fuck it, least it's finally over.
*

Post match, everyone fights more and more and we get a massive pier 6 in the ring. Jake comes down with taped ribs and Damien and empties the ring and wraps the snake around the real Kimchee's neck. Jake shouts Damien won the battle royal.

We go to Andre and Bobby with Gene. Bobby is now wearing the famous neck brace. He says Andre is the real winner and he knows everyone is always there to help him. The refs and Jack Tunney helped and fixed this thing. Andre shouts he's the real champion. Bobby shows the footage of the opening and the famous failed slam where Andre landed on him, and Heenan says it was a 3 count and demands an investigation. Andre knows he's the champion. Bobby says either they strip Hogan or give Andre his rematch.

In the back, Gene is with the Foundation. He brings up Davis being a cheater, so he's nearly attacked before Davis is dragged away.

Before the match, Matilda attacks Jimmy and eats the megaphone.

Match#3 The Hart Foundation (c) w/Jimmy Hart & Danny Davis vs The British Bulldogs (WWF World Tag Team Championships-2/3 Falls)
DK now has a shaved head and has lost a ton of weight because of his back injury, so this shouldn't be happening at all. Davey has a sick battle with both of the champs to start and holds his own until it becomes too much. HF work his ribs and back and really kick the crap out of him for a good 2-3 minutes, and it's a fantastic control seg for our guys. Davey tags in DK, who looks pretty bad and weak with all his work, so Bret and Anvil have to go nuts with bumps to make it work. DK hits a headbutt, so Anil rushes the ring and kicks his ass and then Tito fights Davis on the outside, so the ref DQ's the HF for the first fall. HF now control DK and lightly beat him up for a while and it's pretty lame and tame. Which is why this shouldn't be a thing until he's healed, but hey he's dead for a reason. Davey gets the tag and clobbers them and beats them a bunch, and he hurls DK into Bret AND THE DOGS WIN THE TITLES.
*3/4

Fink announces as the first fall was a DQ, the titles don't change hands. Hahahahah thank God.

In the back, Gene interviews Hulk Hogan. Gene says Andre says he is still undefeated and the new Champion. Hogan says Hulkamania is the strongest power in the universe, and Andre was the biggest challenge of his career, but he persevered. Gene then shows footage of the match, and Hogan does an incredible job of narrating it and gives Andre all the credit for nearly beating him, but he didn't do it. Hogan says it's all in the footage, and he fears no man or best, and he'll sign for a rematch, but Andre still has to beat him 1-2-3, and it can't be done.

In the back, Randy says he needs the title back and he wants to take it off Ricky. Gene asks if that means he wants Ricky to win, and Savage says no but he NEEDS to beat him and take the title back.

Match#4 Ricky Steamboat (c) vs Hercules w/Bobby Heenan (WWF Intercontinental Championship)
This suuuucks as Herc takes control and works Ricky's back in lame and boring fashion, and only Ricky being Ricky selling a back can make it even a tiny bit good. The highlight is Randy losing his mind and screaming for Ricky to win so he can take the title back, and Jesse actually admits that Randy is cheering for Ricky. Herc locks in the Full Nelson, AND RANDY RUNS OUT AND GRABS HERC'S ANKLE TO DISTRACT HIM. OH SHIT WHAT. Heenan loses it, but Randy smiles at him. YES. Ricky fights back and finally kills this dipshit, so Herc gets his chain and attacks for the DQ.
1/2*

Post match, Herc keeps attacking with the chain, and Randy looks super conflicted on what to do. Herc stares Randy down as Bobby gets him to leave. Randy gets into the ring and turns Ricky over and looks to be checking on him, NAH HE CAN'T HELO HIMSELF AND HITS THE ELBOW DROP. HAHAHAHAHAHA AMAZING.

Hacksaw is at ringside again. He hits Nik with his 2x4 when he tries to sing. He leads the USA chant.

Match#5 The Can-Am-Connection vs Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff w/Slick
5 minutes of Martel doing his best with 3 bags of bad smelling rotten fruit. Sheik at least breaks out some classic throws and humbles Zenk like he deserves, so yeah that rocks. He beats the hell out of him, and Zenk takes a wild bump to the floor right in front of Hacksaw. Martel gets attacked as well in front of him, and Hack gets madder and madder. Martel fights back and beats Nik with the Slingshot.

WWF Wrestling Challenge
May 3rd, 1987
New Haven, CT


Bobby is out injured so he's being replaced by George Steele.

TONIGHT; CAN-AM VS KAMALA & SIKA

Match#1 Ricky Steamboat vs Terry Gibbs
Hell yeah. Ricky gets 3 minutes or so to work and puts on a crazy display of smoothness and crispness as he wreaks this dude. Steele grunts a lot on commentary, and he's already better than Gorilla. Ricky wreaks the arm for a while, and then wins with the Chop off the top.
**

Before the next match, Slick calls Hacksaw a yellow fat coward who doesn't have the guts to come out to stop Nik from signing. Hacksaw comes out and cuts the mic cord in half and marches back off. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA THAT RULES.

Match#2 Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Sheik, & Butch Reed w/ Slick vs Lanny Poffo, Sivi Afi, & Mario Mancini
Poor Butch being shunted into this hideous team is the worst. My hope is we at least get some Duggan matches. This is awful as Butch can only do so much and is mostly left out so the others can stink the place up. Sheik humbles a dude to win.
IRAN #1.

Mean Gene-
-The Rougeau Brothers are white hot and want revenge on Bravo for double crossing them. They want to wring his neck along with V. Jaques says Dino embarrassed them in front of the world, but the fans have been nice enough to say it wasn't their fault. Bravo will pay for it.

Match#3 King Harley Race w/ Bobby Heenan vs Nelson Veilleux
Another good 90 second murder from our king. Fisherman ends it.
*

Mean Gene-
-Slick says he's the premier dressed manager and Tito tore his suit and humiliated him in front of the world. It cost $2,300 and Butch will get that money or his hide back. Butch is going to destroy him.
-Gene asks where he got the suit, and Slick says to ask his sister. Slick leaves as Gene can't stop laughing and says he thought he stole it from some guys trunk.

Match#4 The British Bulldogs vs Rick Gantner & Rocky Stone
Short and all Davey as DK is a crippled mess and needs to go away for a while. Powerslam ends it.
1/2*

Its' time for the Snake Pit with Danny Davis. Danny says he now has his life together as he's going to become one of the greatest wrestlers ever, and Jake says that won't happen overnight. His past is going to come back to haunt him, and he brings out Tito. Santana says a lot of people want him in the ring and if ever gets him there, he's going to kick his butt all the way to hell. Koko now comes on and says he's going to beat him so bad his mama won't know him anymore. Jake says he's like a man sitting in the electric chair.

Match#5 The Can-Am-Connection vs Kamala & Sika w/Mr Fuji & Kimchee
The monsters attack from behind and kick their asses with wild fat man offence. Kamala misses a splash and kills Sika by mistake. Can-Am's dump Kamala out and go to work on Sika's arm and we get some fantastic work on it. Sika cuts Martel off and kicks his face, and Kamala joins in and wreaks him as well with fat man offence. Wonderful selling from our guy. Zenk can't get in leagally, so he trips Kamala and hits him with a splash to steal it.
**1/2

Post match, the heels attack and kill them with splashes. Martel steals Fuji's cane and runs them off

Match#6 Ron Bass vs Rick Hunter
Ron unloads a series of wicked forearms and knees and ruins the poor guys entire life. He keeps it up and bashes his face in and wins with the Back Elbow

*3/4

Worcester, MA

Match#1 Ricky Steamboat vs Tiger Chung Lee

Hell yeah! Once more Ricky gets 3 minutes to show off his perfect offence and selling, and Tiger actually hits him hard and holds up his end for once to his credit. Makes it really cool when Ricky gets into a chop battle with him and lays waste to him because he's far better. Top rope Chop does the deal.
**

WWF UPDATE-
-Recap of the debate.
-Bobby is in the neck-brace and says it'a sprain according to his dr, but it feels like it's broken every time he moves his head. Ken will pay next week when he faces Hercules the strongest man in wrestling.

Match#2 The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, & Butch Reed w/ Slick vs Jim Powers, Paul Roma, & Joe Mirto
Like Challenge, Butch is left out of the ring in favour of these old shits doing the laziest and blandest pre boom offence possible. Butch does get to do stuff and it's amazing and smokes them with ease, but it's just not enough to save this. He wins with the Press Slam.
3/4*

They replay Hogan's sick as hell post match promo on Race.

They show the finish of Jake/HTM from Mania. Really cool to see it.

Match#3 Jake Roberts vs Rick Ganter
Jake gets 90 seconds compared to the 3 that last one got. Life ain't fair. Still, wonderful mad flurry of offence and hurling the kid around by the neck on the outside as he shoves him into the post and the rails and bashes his fucking skull in. HTM has a cut in saying he's going to get some snake skinned boots. DDT ends it
*3/4

Post match, the jobber meets Damien.

Mean Gene-
-Billy Jack is still very angry about what Hercules did to him with the chain and he wants to rip his head off and send him to hospital.
-Given what we know about Jack, Hercules really should back off and say sorry.

We go to Brutus' personal barbershop where he names all the heels whose hair he wants to cut. He says the chair is too small for Adonis, but Hammer, Bravo and V can all fit, and he make house calls if they need.

Match#4 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Mike Richards
Another really fun Khan squash where he's laying in every knee and elbow to the poor jobber and just bashes him real bad and awesomely. Fuji has a cut in saying even he's scared of Khan. Super Knee Drop ends it.
**

In a pre-tape, Bass loses his mind as says he can say and do whatever the hell he wants and he's not going to back off. He dares Blackjack to bring his fat ugly horse to the ring so Halloween can come early.

Match#5 The Killer Bees & Koko B Ware vs Steve Lombardi, Pete Doherty, & Terry Gibbs
mqdefault.jpg

Super fun sprint as Blair and Koko get loose and dropkick and armdrag these dorks in a million cool ways, and Jim mostly stays away. Ghostbuster ends it
*3/4

Match#6 Bret Hart vs Davey Boy Smith

All the seconds are at ringside as always. This is 3;34 minutes and kicks SO much ass. Davey muscles him around to start and we get some sick Bret bumps for all of it, and he just has this way of looking like he's about to die but in the classiest way possible. He catches Davey with a knee to the guts and goes to work on them with knees and kicks, and it's very good stuff. Davey bumps like mad in return to make it even cooler. Davey goes for a crucifix, and Bret sits down on his ribs and crushes him!!!! Davey somehow fights back and whips his ass and sends Bret into the corner for dat bump as Bret flies all the way backwards. Davey keeps kicking his ass and giving Bret no chance. All the seconds fight on the outside, and Davey plcks Bret up and kills him with the Powerslam to win.
***

Post match, Danny Davis hits Davey with the megaphone to knock him out cold. On the outside, Anvil fights DK, but DK fights back and runs them off. That ruled so much and re-heated an otherwise dead feud. Also really shows who the future of both teams is even if that wasn't the possible desire or idea at the time.



In the back, Ken Patera accepts the challenge.

NEXT WEEK DEMO VS THE ISLANDERS. HOLY SHIT I LOVE 1987

Ron Bass is on commentary this week. Hell yeah

TONIGHT; DEMO VS THE ROUGEAU'S. YESSSSSSS

Match#1 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs Nick Kiniski
What a way to start. Randy smokes him with anger and malice, and it's just the best stuff in the world. Liz has a cut in saying he's unable to speak to Randy and she's very afraid. Randy kills him with the axe handle and then the Elbow to win.
**

Jimmy Hart wants you to buy the WWF Ice Cream Bars.

Match#2 The Rougeau Brothers vs Demolition w/ Mr. Fuji
WWF's tag division has gone from zero to a million in a few months and this is proof. The Brothers use their speed to put them on the back foot and control with arm drags and dropkicks, and we get some awesome brick wall bumps that feel huge. Ax starts throwing punches and knocks Jacques into the corner for Smash to attack. Ray runs into save and we get another sick pier 6 and the ref counts everyone out.
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-Hacksaw says Nik can't sing for crap and he's a commie bum that doesn't belong int the USA. Hack talks politics and hates Russia and Iran.
-He grabs his board and runs away as he shouts HOOOOOOO.

They replay Brutus/V in full.

Mean Gene-
-Iron Sheik gets some promo time for some reason. He's very smart and loves Iran and wants to help the kids to be smarter and fight against the evil people who stand against him. They are all jealous of Sheiky and his amazing body and wrestling skills. Hacksaw attacks them like a punk with a board, he will break his back and fuck his ass old country style bubba,

Match#3 Tito Santana, Paul Roma, & Jim Powers vs Bob Orton Jr., Don Muraco, & Tiger Chung Lee
Holy random teams, Batman. Orton gets some time to shine and beats up the rat boy in fantastic form, and Don joins in beating his dumb face. My heart is very full. Tiger accidentally hits Don, so they walk out on him. Tito gets in and smokes him and wins with the Forearm
3/4*

The Snake Pit is up next. Jake says you need to be careful who you respect around here, and he respects Mr Fuji. Fuji comes on with Khan as the guest. Jake says it's obvious Fuji isn't going for beauty queens with all his current wrestlers, and Fuji laughs and says he just needs some viscous people. Jake says he has the devil in his soul and he's given it up to win. Fuji says he does indeed have the devil in him.

They replay the debate.

We go backstage to Gene and Bobby. Bobby says no one knows how bad he is hurt, and Gene says it was a sprain. Bobby loses it and says he was nearly decapitated by a jail bird, and he will send his entire family after him to make him suffer more than he's ever done before.

Match#4 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs George Steele
Steele runs after him and steals the guitar and smashes it on the steps for the DQ in maybe 20 seconds.
Poop

IT'S TIME FOR THE GREATEST PROMO OF ALL TIME. THE CREAM OF THE CROP

NEXT WEEK STEAMBOAT VS REED. ISLANDERS VS BEES.

In the back, Ricky says he's got natural fire and he will show.

Butch says he's going to knock that door down and show him who the real natural champion is.

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
May 16th, 1987
Worcester, MA


Tonight; Islanders vs Demo. Patera vs Hercules

Match#1 The Islanders vs Demolition w/Mr Fuji
Goddamn man. HAKU DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT A CHOPS THEM RIGHT AWAY AND TAMA JUMPS DOWN ON THE ARM AND THEY CONTROL AX WITH SPEED AND STRIKES, Haku beats the shit out of Smash as well, and even hits him in the dick with a punch just to do it. Tama gets in and is isolated right away, and it's far too short but still wicked as hell watching them batter the poor little fella with classic Demo offence. Haku tags in and murders everyone with supericks and headbutts and they look to have it, but Fuji trips Tama and Axe hits an elbow to steal it.
**3/4

WWF UPDATE-
-They recap Race's win at Mania.
-Race says he got JYD to bend the knee and kiss his feet, and he is royalty and will have his place. Hogan will kneel before the king of wrestling.

Ricky eats an Ice Cream Bar with his face on it.

Match#2 Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Dave Barbie
HOOOOOOOO. Hack gets 2 and half minutes to do his thing and it's a lot of fun as he's a big fat ball of energy hitting super hard and throwing the jobber into the rails and the post. Proper wildman stuff from a dude who is a proper caveman. 3 Point ends it.
**

Post match, Hack sings the anthem.

Mean Gene-
-Gene hypes up MSG with Jake vs HTM. Hogan vs Race
-Hogan says he was hanging and banging in NYC getting ready for this. What's Race going to do when it all falls down on him like Wonderful and Andre. Whatcha going to do when it all falls down by a man whose on a roll since he beat Andre. 93 thousand plus made him believe, man. He's guided by the strongest force in the world and he hopes that crown fits on his head.

Replay of HTM attacking Jack at SNME.

Match#3 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs Joe Milano
Very good 90 seconds of HTM hitting hard and doing his very good stooging, and he's ok in my book. SSR ends it.
*1/2

Mean Gene-
-Hacksaw will be teaming with Patera against Nik and Shiek.
-Hacksaw says he watched Ken lift an entire gym the other day and he picks up 500 pounds every other minute, they'll beat them up and lead the USA chants.

Match#4 Killer Khan w/Mr Fuji vs Rick Hunter
Another good Khan squash as i'm amazed how much better he is than the last time. Each strike looks awesome and he just nukes the kid as he should be doing. He wins with the motherfucker of a flying Knee Drop
*3/4

In a pre-tape, the New Dream Team say Brutus has shown no guts by attacking V, and they will make him pay for it. Hammer says they don't need a fruitcake around them and revenge is coming.

Match#5 Hercules w/Bobby Heenan & Harley Race vs Ken Patera
Weirdly this is taking place at Challenge with Vince and Jesse on the call. Herc jumps him with bad knees in the corner and it's not good at all. Ken's selling is ok enough. but man alive does Herc suck shit. Everything is either bad looking or weak looking, and i hate him so much. Ken fights back and shows nothing as he's still a mostly bad musclehead and this push is now doomed. Race attacks for the DQ
1/2*

Post match, they kick his ass until BJH makes the save. OH NO.

Match#6 Tito Santana, Blackjack Mulligan & Billy Jack Haynes vs. The Shadows & Iron Mike Sharpe
EWWWWWWWWWWWW BROTHERS Tito tries but there is far too much trash in this to ever work for a second. Forearm does it.
1/2*

NEXT WEEK. HOGAN VS ORTON. HOLY SHIT WHAT.

Bob says Hogan will lose his self-respect as he's been waiting years for this.

-Hogan says God invented his 24 inch pythons and gave him truth and justice the right way and he's going to dedicate Orton's downfall to the USA.

TONIGHT. RICKY VS BUTCH, BEES VS ISLANDERS

Match#1 Ricky Steamboat (c) vs Butch Reed w/Slick (WWF Intercontinental Championship)
Reed attacks before the bell and attacks the injured throat with punches and chokes in the ropes, and Ricky is close to near death 30 seconds in as Butch stays on it and kicks the piss out of him. He chokes him with a jacket and neckties him super hard to the ground, and Ricky's selling is sooooo good. Butch won't let up and keeps hurting him, and Steamer's attempted comeback rocks as do the cut offs. Butch drops elbow after elbow onto the throat and looks to have it won, but Steamer manages to hit a backdrop to cut him off for real this time and unloads a tremendous beating. Slick distracts him so Ricky gives chase, but he slides back in and crossbodies Butch over the top and they both fall to the floor. They're both dead but Ricky comes back to life one last time and slides in to win.
**3/4

Match#2 Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart w/ Jimmy Hart vs Joe Mirto & Jack Miller

Sadly only 90 seconds. Anvill gets a lot of shine this week with classic crazy laughing man offence and i adore him so much. Bret is Bret and that's enough said. The jobbers get belted good and proper, and the Hart Attack ends it.
*1/2

Mean Gene-
-Brutus says he has all the crowd behind him chanting "Go Barber Go" and he's damn proud of that. He gave V a punk rock haircut and he's going to do it time after time so he never forgets what he did to the Beefcake.
-Gene asks if he can do anything for him, and Brutus says maybe a little off the sides.

Match#3 Koko B Ware vs Dave Wagner
Bobby says Koko's robe is made of gum wrappers welded together in an all time "how do you even think of that" insult. Fantastic sprint from out wonderful little guy. I trust no one who doesn't love Koko, or understand why he's the best. Monkey flips and dropkicks out the ass, and it's just the coolest stuff. Gorilla keeps making fun of Bobby's neck and gets him to turn his head, and it's amazing. Ghostbuster kills the guy dead.
**

Mean Gene-
-HTM says Peggy Sue has told him not to listen to Gene after he bashed him on live TV.
-Gene says his singing leaves him with an empty feeling, and Honky says because he has no heart.
-He's injured Jack's shoulder and neck and he's got a little more to go.

IN THE RING, KILLER KHAN ATTACKS OUTBACK JACK WITH FUJI'S CANE. YEAH KILL HIM. HE CHOKES HIM FOR A GOOD MINUTE OR SO AS HE SCREAMS LIKE AN ANIMAL, AND THIS IS SOOOO GOOD.

We go to the Snake Pit with Jake and the New Dream Team. Hammer says V doesn't want to come out and don't ask where he is, and we see him hiding behind the wall covering his new haircut. Jake teases him and shoves Damien in his face and we see the cut and he looks like a mini Nasty Boy. Dino says Beefcake needs to worry about what they'll do to him. V yells that he's going to pay.

Match#4 The Islanders vs The Killer Bees
They shake hands and Bobby calls them sissies and is not happy. Hmmmmm. Blair and Tama go at it and we get a fun back and forth with power vs speed, and it's good stuff. Haku gets in and is a touch grumpy and shoves Blair, and Bobby says they're missing the want to hurt someone and without it they'll never win the titles. Islanders double team Brunzelle and kick his ass, and seem far more angry than normal and it's nice to see. They attack him in the corner and stomp on his face and kill him with a double elbow. They even break out a top rope assisted elbow, and Bobby says Tama couldn't stay in prison because he would jump over the wall. Jim fights back and hits a sweet dropkick, AND HAKU STOMPS ON HIS HEAD AND THROWS BLAIR OUT OF THE RING AND SHOVES THE REF FOR THE DQ
**1/2

Match#5 Billy Jack Haynes vs Iron Mike Sharpe

Very lame and bad. Highlight is Heenan shitting on BJH the entire time calling him dumb and stupid, and it's amazing. Full Nelson ends it

1/2*

WWF MADISON SQAURE GARDEN-MAY 18TH

The Young Stallions vs Bob Orton & Don Muraco
I normally only watch Roma when i'm forced, but it's the debut of the team proper and it being at the Garden means it's important. So yeah, that's why we're here. Also it's nice to see the boys again after it felt like they fell off the face of the earth after Mania once Fuji got Demo. They show off and beat the shit out of Powers AND BOB DOES A ONE ARMED BACKBREAKER. JESUS CHRIST. Roma gets in to try his luck and gets his ass handed to him and has his face thrown into the post. Bobby says Don should teach wrestling with those skills. Rat boy is beaten from pillar to post until they crack each other on accident and Powers gets in. He chooses to attack with a headlock on Don that lasts a few minutes and kills the crowd dead, because well yeah. The heels thankfully turn it around and kick his teeth in and it's much better, but also not that fun as Powers suuuuuucks at wrestling. It all breaks down and Powers beats Orton with a cradle.
*3/4

Yeah, no more Stallions on here unless it's TV, PPV or Demo murdering them.

Hulk Hogan (c) vs King Harley Race w/Bobby Heenan (WWF World Championship)
Here we go again!! Race again controls right away with knees and elbows and drops Hogan a few times, and it's wild and soooo cool to see him get this type of shine when very few do. Hogan fires back and kills him with a lariat over the top rope and Race takes a goddamn flatback onto the concrete. Race is dead for a moment but Bobby distracts Hogan, and Race slips in a punch to take back over for another slow but rad control seg of him beating the crap out of Hulkster, and Hogan selling his ass off. Hogan hits the boot as an actual saving grace and drops him, but Race fights through and drags him to the floor for a fight, AND HE MISSES THE HEADBUTT AND SMACKS HIS HEAD OFF THE CONCRETE. HOLY SHIT, MAN. Race isn't dead and actually regains control when they get back in and works a sleeper for a while and twists and turns Hogan's shitty skull. We get the Hulk Up and all that good times it brings, but Race cuts him off with a series of headbutts and drops him again and busts him open. Race bites at the cut and cracks him again, and Hogan is down and out. Race goes for the headbutt but Hogan moves and grabs a quick stack pin to pull the win out of nowhere.
***

Post match, Hogan poses and the like, and Race sneaks back in and knocks him out cold with the title to the face. FUCK YEAH. I love this series so much.

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

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
May 23rd, 1987
Anaheim, CA


TONIGHT; HOGAN VS ORTON.

We go right to Mean Gene and Hogan backstage.
-Hogan talks about how cool America is and how he loves the country and all the men and women who fought and died for it, and he's dedicated this match to them. He's taking that pride and the 24 inch pythons into this battle.

Match#1 Randy Savage w/Miss Elizabeth vs Jerry Monti
Randy again gets the most out of 90 seconds better than anyone one else maybe ever. Dude is a fireball of energy as he smacks and cracks this pornstar looking jobber as only he can. Jesse says it's very nice of Hogan to dedicate the match to him as he's the only vet here. Fuck yeah, Jesse. Elbow Drop and a one foot pin ends the fun.
**

WWF UPDATE-
-We get a special report on Billy Graham as we're forced to watch one of his horrible matches
-His Dr explains that his hip is destroyed and will never be able to wrestle again
-Sadly, we find Billy on crutches and he says he's coming back as he's a survivor.
-Next week we will see him having surgery

We go to a pre-tape of Killer Khan praying as Fuji narrates over the top about how ugly he is and how everyone runs away when they see his devil face. He is the face of fear.

Match#2 Hillbilly Jim & Outback Jack vs Buddy Ryder & Dave Barbie
Pure WWF 80's cocaine nonsense putting these two together. They have a cut in eating Kangaroo, and it's very nice and i would say everyone should try it. This is a very bad match, but i dig it as it means i don't have to be subjected to singles squashes from either man. Jack wins with a bulldog.
1/2*

Mean Gene-
-The Rougeau's are here and saying nothing new about the feud with Dino.

ONE MAN GANG MAKES HIS DEBUT WITH SLICK BY HIS SIDE.

Match#3 One Man Gang w/Slick vs Jesse Cortez
Love OMG so much. Just a giant fat amazing brick wall throwing people around super hard and using the fat to bash and crash into them. Slick has a cut in saying this is the new 747. OMG says to give him the cash so he can do his favourite hobby of crippling people. He breaks out a top rope bulldog and wins with a sick elbow drop to the back.
**

Vince recaps Davis attacking Steele at SNME.

Match#3 Ken Patera vs The Gladiator
Jesse says Bobby has a new tag team that is going to make Patera pay. Hmmmm, i wonder who it could be??? Better than last week as Ken can just do cool strongman stuff throwing the big guy around with slams and hard shots, and it's enough to make me smile. Bearhug ends it.
*

The Snake Pit is here on Superstars for once. Jake hypes up the show in his sick green suit. He brings on Bobby, Race and Herc. Jake makes fun of the hurt neck and asks if he's playing ring around the weasel. Bobby says that ex-con is laughing and he better enjoy it before he sends the family after him. Herc talks about having the powers of the immortals and Ken is a human. Jake brings up Race needing to help, and Race says he's a king and he can do whatever he wants. Bobby says his day is coming and his time is just about over.

Match#4 Hulk Hogan vs Bob Orton w/Mr Fuji
Turns out the ticket sales for this taping weren't going great at the time, so Vince threw Hogan onto it and it sold 10K in a few hours. Just an insane Ace in the hole for WWF that no one can touch. Hogan pinballs him around and Bob takes some wild bumps like going all the way over the rails for a lariat and it's amazing as hell. Hogan stays on him and kicks his butt all over the joint and it's such a treat watching him do this on TV given how rare it is, and will continue to be. Fuji distracts him so Orton can knee him in the back to the floor, and Fuji smacks him in the throat with his cane. Orton targets the throat and beats the hell out of it in really good form, and Hogan's selling is again tremendous as possible. He fights back and Hulks Up and smokes him with the Legdrop to end a feel good match.
**3/4

Mean Gene-
-Slick talks about his boys and how they'll beat up Hacksaw DOOGAN.
-Nothing new is being said and i feel like WWF is sort of in a holding pattern

NEXT WEEK CAN-AM'S VS THE ISLANDERS. HOLY SHIT YES.

Bobby Heenan comes on and says he's bringing in a new tag team to the Family and everyone will see the surprise next week.

Tonight; Bravo vs Beefcake.

Match#1 Brutus Beefcake vs Dino Bravo w/Johnny V
Nice to see the B show getting a B feud. Heh, get it. Thankfully only 3 minutes of bad wrestling with bad bumps and sells from both as they're not good at this at all, and i don't feel i'm breaking new ground by saying that. Dino's control is awful as he's doing the laziest work possible and filling in space with chinlocks. Brutus fights back and locks in the sleeper, so Hammer runs in for the DQ
Poop.

Post match, they beat his head in until the Rougeau's make the save.

Outlaw Ron Bass loves branding people.

Match#2 Ricky Steamboat vs Iron Mike Sharpe
Now the show can start. Sick as hell 3 minute showcase for our guy as he's all fire working the arm and kicking the fuck out of him, and it's wonderful. HTM has a cut in asking for a title shot as he's going to prove he only needs one. OH GOD. Chop ends it.
**

Mean Gene-
-Koko talks about his small home town where there was nothing but sports to spend his time doing, and that's why he's a great athlete.
-They sign a little to end it

Match#3 King Harley Race w/Bobby Heenan vs Jerry Monti
V joins commentary and riffs about how much he hates Brutus and how his hair may never grow back. Good 90 seconds from our King as always. Gross and slow beating to the kid before the Fisherman ends it
*3/4

Mean Gene-
-The Killer Bees get promo time and it's horrrrrible.
-Jim stumbles over his words as he tries to say he loves being in the WWF and part of the best place in the world. Gene has to step in and save his neck, and it's very, very funny.
-Blair talks about Hogan putting a pump onto their wings, and Jim just stands there smiling like a complete goon.

Match#4 Hillbilly Jim, Tito Santana, & Billy Jack Haynes vs Carl Schmidt, Terry Gibbs, & Dave Barbie
More criminal waste of Tito Santana. Hate to see it. Full Nelson ends the pain.
1/7*

Match#5 Kamala & Sika w/Mr Fuji & Kimchee vs Lanny Poffo & Rick Hunter

Hell yeah. Wonderful line of cocaine madness as the monster eat and maul these two with sick offence and fat man work. Big Splash ends it
*3/4

In a pre-tape, Hacksaw says he loves the USA.

Match#6 Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Steve Lombardi
HOOOOOO TOUGH GUY. Very fun couple of minutes of Hack beating the snot out of the Brawler for what i imagine will happen for the next 5 years. 3 Point ends it
*1/2

Mean Gene-
-Randy is here pacing back and forth. Silence is golden sometimes and he should listen to him and learn something. He's joining Gene to join his living nightmare. He's not retired or slowing down, yeah stop me. WrestleMania is history and he is the uncrowned IC champion. Hotel California check in but you can't check out. Millions of people suffered a set back, yeah and Elizabeth knows it.
-Gene says he should admit he has a problem, and Savage says everyone is jealous of him. HULK HOGAN GUES WHAT?? LOOK INTO THE VIDEO SCOPE RIGHT NOW AND KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE WORLD CHAMPION. RICKY STEAMBOAT YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO HIM. HE IS A ROCK AND AN ISLAND AND HE'S GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
-Gene asks where Liz is, and Randy says if she was here she would be calling him the uncrowned champion and that's not wishful thinking. Hulkamania and Steamboat are both dead.
-H O L Y S H I T

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
May 30th, 1987
Anaheim, CA

Match#1 The Can-Am-Connection vs The Islanders

Bruno says this will be a fair and great match with zero cheating, and Jesse thinks he's an idiot. The Islanders have a cut in laughing and laughing, and Vince isn't sure what's so funny. Killer opening minute of Martel and Huka going at it on the mat with smooth as hell offence. Martel hits a crossbody and smacks Haku's head into the mat and messes him up for a time. Zenk joins in, and Haku gets his ass kicked some more until he snaps and beats the shit out of him. Bobby Heenan comes down to ringside and talks to Zenk and Martel, AND THE ISLANDERS ATTACK THE FACES FROM BEHIND AND KICK THE SHIT OUT OF THEM. OH MY GOD. THEY HIT A DOUBLE HEADBUTT TO ZENK AND HURL HIM TO THE FLOOR. TAMA SLAMS HIM AGAIN AND HITS ANOTHER GODDAMN HEADBUTT TO KNOCK HIM OUT COLD. THE ISLANDERS WIN BY COUNTOUT.
**

Post match, Bobby gets in and raises their hands and hugs them!!! Jesse laughs and says he knew it all along. Fantastic angle to give them brand new life after sort of floundering as semi-pushed babyfaces, so the heel run is going to do wonders with that side needing some new blood.

WWF UPDATE-
-George Steele goes on a tour of the WWF Ice Cream Bar factory.

Match#2 Honky Tonk Man w/Jimmy Hart vs Billy Anderson
Vince says Tunney will decide if the DDT is banned next week. More good stuff from HTM as he's working and moving well and hits hard, and that's all it really takes for now. Still don't want what's about to happen to happen, but fuck it. SSR does the deed.
*1/2

Mean Gene-
-Jimmy Hart walks on and says the Dogs are the biggest crybabies in wrestling.
-HTM walk on and says this is what he wanted after Jake destroyed his guitar with his head. So he pleaded with promoters to get his hands on him, and that's where the idea of SNME was born. He got the snake and made him come after him, and he won't find a fight with him.

We go to another Khan pre-tape where Fuji speaks about his strong body and the strong devil inside of him.

Match#3 Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Iron Mike Sharpe
Good 90 second ass handing from Hack. Jesse hates the 2X4 and wants it banned like a real coward. Hack beats Mike around the place and wins with the 3-Point.
*

We go to another update on Billy Graham recovering from surgery on his hip. He's going to wrestle again much to my dismay.

Match#4 King Harley Race w/Bobby Heenan vs Joe Mirto
Hey, another very fine 90 second Race squash as he's not getting any more time ever. Fisherman for the win.
*

Time for the Snake Pit with OMG and Slick. Slick says he taught OMG the 747 and it's proof that talk is cheap, baby. OMG says he's been dreaming and training for Hogan his entire life and Slick got him and now he's going to destroy him and take no prisoners.

Match#5 Ricky Steamboat vs Dusty Wolfe
Sick 3 minutes once more before the world ends in a couple of weeks all because of that bloody kid. Or, because Vince is a pure evil dick, but you get my drift. Ricky whips ass and bounces him around and wins with the top rope chop.

SO, hey it's time to cover a famous WWF arrest that would smash kayfabe to hell

In 1987, Duggan and The Iron Sheik were pulled over by New Jersey State Police before a WWF event, suspecting Duggan of driving under the influence. After a search of the vehicle and the persons, police discovered that Duggan was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol, while Sheiky was high on cocaine. Small amounts of cocaine were also found in the vehicle. Duggan received a conditional release while Sheiky was placed on probation for a year. The scandal that erupted after two in-ring enemies were found drinking and doing drugs together led to the end of the angle, the Sheik's release, and Duggan's temporary departure from WWF

img


So, yeah massive massive thing that would eventually lead to the death of kayfabe for good and wrestling becoming entertainment in the eyes of the world. Sheiky is out of our reviews until a super brief run in 88 and then when he pops back up in 90/91 as Sgt Slaughter's flunky. Hacksaw will come back and win the Rumble, but that will be the absolute height he will reach and spend the rest of the time in the mid-card as a semi pushed act and nothing more.

Here's him telling the story and he comes across as quite a good dude who knew he fucked it all up and wished he could fix it.

”Sheiki and I never even rode together. That was actually the first and last time. We stopped to get a couple beers, and in 1987 in Louisiana you only got in trouble if you were drunk and driving. I had no idea that you couldn’t drink and drive at all in New Jersey. So the cop asked me if I have anything else in the car and I confess to about 3 g of marijuana. Shiki is going nuts, he’s high on cocaine at this moment and he gets busted with possession.
”They throw me up against the car, search me, I go “HOOOOOOOO!!!!!” as they search my cavities. They eventually let me go with a ticket, a fine for drunk driving. Sheik gets arrested on a felony possession of cocaine charge. He goes in front of a judge and is released within two hours. We actually made the show that night. I called my wife at midnight and told her what happened and I go “honey nobody knows!! Maybe this will get swept under the rug!” The next morning she wakes me up at the hotel with a phone call at 6 AM, and says “honey, everybody knows. It’s worldwide news.”
”So I’m terrified at this point. I call Vince, and I get through to him quicker than I ever have in my entire life. He picks up within seconds. He chews me out-and to this day 35 years later, I remember what he said to me word for word. What stayed with me was the last thing he said. “Jim, how could you do this to US?”
”That broke me, man. I thought my career was over. I was depressed for a few months. I then called WCW to see if they had a spot for me. Within a few days, Bruce Pritchard calls me and says “What are you doing? Don’t make any crazy decisions. Vince is going to bring you back. Just relax.”
I came back to the company but I was never the same. I went from being cheered by 93,000 people at WM 3, to being a mid card act for the rest of my life. I truly think I would have won not only the intercontinental title, but even the world title had that night not happened. Even so, I’m so grateful to the WWE. I actually called Vince the night my daughter graduated, and just thanked him. Thanked him for giving me this life and the ability to pay for my daughters education and for making me feel like a good man.”

May 31st, 1987
San Diego, CA

Match#1 Koko B Ware vs Dusty Wolfe

Koko gets 3 minutes to do his amazing stuff and i adore it so much. Super smooth and fast as hell as he throws it all out and kicks the jobbers teeth down his throat. His top rope Dropkick is maybe the most beautiful one i've ever seen. Ghostbuster ends it
**

Match#2 One Man Gang w/Slick vs Mario Mancini
OMG rushes him and chokes him with his jacket and kills him with a nasty choke-bomb. He beat the holy crap out of him with tremendous shots and fat man stuff, and hey i love this man so much. Big Elbow gets it done.
**

Mean Gene-
-Steele says he loves Liz, hates Randy, and now wants to eat Davis.

Match#3 Ken Patera vs Tim Patterson
Heenan loses his mind and rants about how much he hates Ken the entire time, and it's way better than this horrible musclehead squash. Dude just hits really weakly and doesn't do anything all that cool or dangerous for a wrestler in the 80's, so fuck him. Bearhug does it.
1/9*

Match#3 Demolition w/Mr Fuji vs ??

Neither jobber is named and it's cool for me. Demo have a cut in saying when Fuji smiles they break an ankle or maybe a neck. Amazing stuff with a million clubs and stiff shots as they batter these poor shitheads. They don't slow down at all as they toss them into the buckles and the mat as hard as fucking possible and finally start stiffing them in the face. Decapitation finally kills one of them dead.
**1/2

in the back, Brutus says the same stuff he's been saying for the last few weeks.

Match#4 The Killer Bees vs Jimmy Jack Funk & The Raider
This gets 5 minutes for some ungodly reason that makes me a little worried. Blair rules and more than holds his end up, but Jim is a goon and doesn't do anything other than that Dropkick well, so he's a lost puppy. It keeps going and going and really dies a sad death. Dropkick finally ends it.
1/0+_)+_+_+_+_

Match#5 Butch Reed, the Iron Sheik, & Nikolai Volkoff w/ Slick vs Joe Mirto, Brad Rheingans, & SD Jones

Really bad as always as Butch can't do anything to save it, but at least Sheik is gone and we're finally done with this bullshit for good. Humbling ends it

1/2*
