The Big Event
Brought to you in mono on WWE CLassics!
Gorilla with Ernie Ladd and Luscious Johnny on commentary.
Mr Wonderful is the Benedict Arnold of the WWF and he's not so wonderful apparently!
Jimmy Jack and Hoss Funk vs The Killerbees
This is the kind of match where I get totally lost, nobody is Sheamus here damnit.
huh, apparently this event has a crowd of 65k or something. Jimmy Jack looks like a fat repo man.
Man, people were right, tag-team formulas haven't changed much since the 80s.
But one thing I noticed quickly is that they now have mats outside the ring, which is good!
The Killerbees are the winners! woo?
Huge crowds with no signs and no mass merchandise, this feels like a different world. I like the damn signs more!
Mr Fuji on deck telling someone to PAY THEIR DUES!
Magnificent Muraco vs King Tonga
oh this is Haku. This match is incredibly dull to start off with since Muraco is stalling. Haku with a dropkick, he's playing face here and I find that weird.
This match is quick enough to make Orton look like Alex Shelley :(, how old was muraco back then, seems like at one stage he might actually have been good but now its like watching WCW old timers.
Mr Fuji was one of the most hated managers around? Wonder why.
So weird seeing a young Haku get overwhelmed.Wasn't Meng a legit badass backstage?
Maybe its cos they are in an arena, maybe its cos this is all in mono, but this match doesn't seem too over with the crowd, the Hogan match will be a better gauge.
we are now 36 minutes into this PPV and only the second match, BUT MURACO HAS THE FIGURE FOUR ONE YEAAAAH! TAAAAAP, TAAAAAAAAP!
Awww, no one tapped, everyone loves busting out the Figure four, Johnny Luscious pointing out that wrestlers make big bucks!
HIGH SLAM OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HIGH CROSSBODY!
THE BELL HAS SOUNDED, BUT NO THREE COUNT, THE TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED, NO WARNING SO THIS DID COME OFF AS A SURPRISE!
A DRAW! Does this mean we'll get an ancient Muraco vs Young Haku rematch? Can't wait.
BOBBY HEENAN PROMO, THE MAN IS ALREADY THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SHOW!
This is a waaaay larger crowd than the previous Mania crowds.
Heenan: MR OKERLUND I MAKE HISTORY! So awesome.
Ted Arcidi vs Tony Garea
Big man against quicker midget, quick squash match where Arcidi wins via submisson, mercifully short I must say.
Junkyard Dog vs Adrian Adonis
Jimmy Hart in the Adonis corner.Adonis is so hideous, gimme Goldust over him any day.
JUNKYARD DOG! Dog might be my favourite wrestler who's being pushed.
Macho Man doesn't really seem to be huge right now for some reason.
REF BUMP, OH NOES JIMMY AND ADRIAN TEAMING UP ON JYD! LET'S GO JYD OVERCOME DEM ODDS!
REF WAKES UP AND COUNTS OUT ADONIS JYD IS THE WINNER!
There really seems to be plenty of count outs on these early PPVs.
Iron Mike Sharpe vs The Rebel Dick Slater
Sadly this isn't the daddy of Heathulu.
A few nice shots to show how big the crowd is, well this is a filler match.
zzz. Well to be fair there's nothing too offensive here. Some of the sequences are nice and Dick Slater wins.
The only problem was that there was nothing to make me care about the match here.
