Board 8 > voltch watches every single WWF/E PPV

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hope that's not too many caps in the topic title.

Well, topic is pretty self explanatory and I don't really want to bog down the ongoing wrestling topics with this, so it should be fine here.

I'll start with Wrestlemania and watch all the PPVs up till probably 2010, may rewatch but not sure yet.

Wrestlemania

AWWW YEAH, GORILLA MONSOON, JESSE VENTURA, THE FINK!

Oh gooood, Mean Gene singing!

Lord alfred is here too!

Tito Santana vs The Executioner

FIRST EVER MANIA MATCH! A guy in a spiderman mask vs some spanish speaking dude.

OH MAN, SUBMISSION VIA FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK!

Santana>Flair, his FF actually works!


King Kong Bundy vs Special Delivery Jones

Oh hi there jimmy hart, now i'll be honest this looks really dated without all the flashy lights and flashy entrances.

the match itself is nothing special, COS THE DUDE SMASHES HIM TO BITS, gogogogo King Kong Bundy!


Matt Borne vs Ricky Steamboat

Jakyl tells me this is the guy who would later become doink.

Well this was pretty damn fast paced compared to the rest, steamboat is just awesome and he can really fly!

Best match so far, but they've all been fairly short so far.


Brutus Beefcake vs David Sammartino

oh hey some managers out there.Bruno getting a really nice pop at the garden.

Good lord, this isn't actually any good in terms of wrestling >_>

This match is making Goldberg vs Lesnar look fast paced.

Oh wow, David is really bad, at this stage I just want Brutus to beat him up.

Now I remember why I often fall asleep watching old PPVs late at night, its all cos these dull matches that bore me to tears. like sweet jesus
This match feels like its dragging on and on. oh look the managers brawling is WAY more interesting than the match itself.

But nooooo, all this for a double DQ, I HATE YOU SAMMARTINO!


Greg Valentine vs The Junkyard Dog

Intercontinental Title match

Cmon JYD I'm rooting for ya! Great JYD has his own theme tune!
JYD knows how to get the crowd behind him! So Greg came out in fancy glittering robe, he's going for the figure four leglock, soooo uh, why?

So far this is the match most people in the crowd appear to be into and I'm enjoying this a lot more than the previous match. Since stuff actually happens!

HE GOT AWAY WITH IT! Greg retains!Santana out there and telling the ref what a dummy he really is!

Reversal of a decision, COUNT OUT JYD WINS! But the title doesn't switch on a countout!

I just noticed, but there really aren't any mats outside the ring.


Nikolai Volkoff/Iron Sheik vs Barry Windham/Mike Rotundo

Tag Title match

managers here are Freddie Blasie and Captain Lou Albano

Bah, I don't care if they're heel, I wanna root for the Iron Sheik. Well people are throwing trash in the ring for this singing.

"RUSSIA NUMBER 1, IRAN NUMBER 1", yeah the sheik owns.

Husky Harris Snr is not so Husky. Well this was good compared to the rest of the card, but nothing special in the grand scheme of things. Hurry up Hardy Boyz!


Andre the Giant vs Big John Studd

So few signs in the crowd, or maybe there are actually tons of them but the lack of light means I can't see anything.

Man, Andre is really huge, impresses me every time.


Wendy Richter vs Leilani Kai

WIMMINZ TITLE MATCH

Cindy Lauper and Moolah appear to be the managers.

I'm finding it hilarious that the most modern looking thing about this show is Cindy Lauper.

I really don't like this ring gear :/, but hey Lauper's cool!

Now Richter can apparently benchpress 200, how much can Mark Henry benchpress again?

Bryan Alvarez: A THOUSAND POUNDS!

This match is going on longer than the Steamboat match ;_;

wooooo new champion.

Crowd shots make the crowds of back then somehow look more dignified, dunno just looks like a more family friendly crowd.

Bob Orton and Snuka are the guys in the corners.

all dat hair on Hogan's head. Mr T is actually not too bad here, he's not great, but as far as celebrity guys go, he can sorta go.

You don't mess with Ali!

Spines are getting rearranged in this match! yeah this is getting pretty chaotic and they don't have the camera tech they have today.

Mr T with the hot tag! aww yeah, come on T! oh man, what a BS ending! I wanted Mr T to get the pinfall.

Mr Wonderful gets up and has no idea what the hell is going on.


Well this show was not exactly a good showcase for any actually good wrassling matches. There was a fair bit of good entertainment though which is always good in my wrestlemanias.

But yeah this wasn't exactly very good even with the fun factor of the Hogan match.

The Wrestling Classic

oh wow, looks like Savage and Steamboat and JYD are on the card.

This is being presented by WRESTLEVISION! Well then, I think this might be the first match involving the dynamite kid I'll ever see.

Vince McMahon on deck with Lord Alfred and some chick and yaowza the bracket's pretty big for a 2 hour event + a title match involving Piper and Hogan.

clips of Ricky drawing DBS made me laugh.

The president of the WWF Jack Tunney is with mean Gene, now all these presentations are cool, but time is ticking man and nothing has started yet.

alright Monsoon and Ventura on commentary.

oh ok, 10 minute time limits.


Adrian Adonis vs Corporal Kirchner

I have no idea how good these wrestlers are, but one thing I'll say, Adrian does not have the body of an adonis, like at all.

Oh Jimmy Hart is working for Adonis and Adons wins by countering a suplex in a very zzzz match.


The Dynamite Kid vs Nikolai Volkoff

The Kid wins in 3 seconds! Volkoff finished the anthem them KABLAMO DROPKICK OFF THE TURNBUCKLE AND KID WIIIIIIIIIIINZ.

RANDY SAVAGE WOOOOOOOOOOO


Randy Savage vs Ivan Putzki

Savage gets the whole entrance with liz and not that big an inital pop for some reason.

Putzki got a small clap.Randy is heavily favoured to win this even for the commentators.

oh now I get it, Savage is heel. BUT WUT TEH HELL, IVAN SPITZ IN DA FACE AND GETS ZE POP.

Savage he mad! Savage wins via feet on rope.



RickY Steamboat vs Davey Boy Smith

This match is already better than everything the rest have done because it has gone on for longer than a minute and both workers are good.

This is also face vs face but both guys are going at it. Wait what, BS! what the hell is this, DBS injures himself out of the match, Steamboats is awarded the win via DBS being unable to continue.

Groin injury too!

JYD on deck!


The Iron Sheik vs The Junkyard Dog

JYD with his original music. SHEIK IS CHOKING A BLACK MAN, FIRE HIM!

JYD! JYD! JYD! Dawg with da comeback crowd goes nuts and Sheik begging for mercy. OH MAh gawd THE CLUTCH IS ON! DAWG IS FIGHTING IT!

Sheik gives up the hold and goes back to working on him. Sheik got distracted by the ref allowing for JYD to win, YAY!


Moondog Spot vs Terry Funk

Funk is awesome he's trying to convince Moondog for a draw, FUNK DOUBLR CROSSES MOONDOG BUT MOONDOG RUSHES BACK IN TIME!

Funk is out in round 1 but he's furious and is now destroying Spotty with the help of Jimmy Hart but Moondog escapes.

this tournament sucks so far man, though I'll forgive em for time constraints.


Tito Santana vs Magnificent Muraco

Muraco is huge man, making Santana look like a vanilla midget. Santana is the intercontinental champion.

Apparently this tournament is worth a ton o cash what with Ventura always pimpin' out em dollars.

This isn't too bad, but its not great either and Muraco beats the IC champ with a bodyslam and Tito gets a small package on muraco and wins since it turns out Tito's foot was under the rope.

last round 1 match incoming.


Cowboy Bob Orton vs Paul Orndorff

Mr Wonderful is the face, which feels kinda weird since he worked heel at mania one, which happens a lil bit after this i think.

so Mr Wonderful is great, good to know, man the hair aside, this young Bob Orton's facial features are exactly the same as his son's.

They saved the best for last in round 1 matches!

Ref calls for the bell, he DQs Orton for use of the cast smart refs? waaaaa


According to Vince and alfred all the round 1 winners were surprises. oh and the time limit is now up to 15 minutes.

yay DK wins and I'm dozing off already.....turns out I really did fall asleep.

oh gosh the next match is something I would have been awake throughout for.


Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage

This is limited to 15 minutes :/

One of the few matches with extended action outside the ring, easy to see why they don't do much stuff there, that concrete must hurt like hell!

This match is already way faster than anything else, OH GOSH WINNER FACES DYNAMITE KID.

The later rounds might actually be good!

MACHO MAN VIA FOREIGN OBJECT FROM INSIDE THE TIGHTS! TOO SHORT, THIS MATCH WAS TOO DAMN SHORT!

moondog spot promo, Hornswoggle promos are better.


Junkyard Dog vs Moondog Spot

Let's go JYD! No ref in the ring? The Dog counted himself the victor.

Moondog does not complain, victory for JYD woooo!



Mr Wonderful vs Tito Santana

Heenan's got a bounty on Orndorff's head, Bob Orton failed and now we got the face Santana in there, WILL HE TRY AND GET THE 50 G?

Tito has an injury entering into this match and he's paaaaain.

Are we gonna get another ref stoppage?

Paul Orndorff is working the leg what a face!

man how huge was Paul Orndorff back then? His matches have been given plenty of time and DOUBLE COUNTOUT!

so JYD ADVANCES YESSSSSSSS!


Roddy Piper vs Hulk Hogan

WORLD TITLE MATCH

So I guess this is the first ever WWF title match on PPV?

Hogan in white is really strange, Hulkamania is there, but he ain't in Red and yellow except for a headband.

Hogan still coming out to REAL AMERICAN and he does look like a superstar, oh hey even back then Hogan tore his shirt off.

oh wow, Hogan's kinda moving pretty fast in this.

geez, I just realized that this happened in 1985 and WCW still had these guys go at it a dozen years later?

REF BUMP! YELLOW CHAIR ON DECK!

What a heel! Piper going for another hit BUT HOGAN CATCHES IT AND THEY ARE FIGHTING HOGAN GETS THE CHAIR AND HITS PIPER WITH IT!

HOGAN WITH THE SLEEPER AND WAT DQ ENDING!

Ace came in to attack Hogan from behind MR WONDERFUL RUNS IN FOR THE SAVE!

Hogan still da champ but Piper didn't get pinned so w/e!


The Dynamite Kid vs Randy Savage

Dynamite Kid was pretty small but he looks bigger than Savage or at least equal in size here.

Yeah, they're going really quick here.

I'm assuming Macho Man wins, but man this will be kinda weird booking, since the finals will have a fresh face dawg vs a weary heel Macho Man.

BUT DK WITH A HIGH DROPKICK AND SUPERPLEX!

OH BUT MACHO MAN VIA ROLL UP, SOMEONE WON A MATCH RIGHT AFTER A SUPERPLEX.

Macho man's face in the concrete, Randy looks like a broken down man.


Lots of dudes i don't know in the ring, they are awarding a rolls royce to the winner of a sweepstake.

Well cool for the dude who wins I guess. Oh hey this is actually a Chicago crowd.

The crowd is booing the winner.

Macho man getting tortured by the Dawg, come on JYD!

Oh hey Gene Okerlund now on commentary.

Savage's double axe handle is the best :)

Monsoon and Mean Gene are outraged at the tactics used by Savage here!

HIGH RISK BY MACHO MAN BUT JYD CATCHES HIM AND NOW DEM HEADBUTTS ARE UNLEASHED!

JUNKYARD DOG WINS VIA COUNTOUT AFTER SAVAGE CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE CONCRETE.

Savage is dead, dead I tell ya! JYD WIIIIIIIINS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

COME ON JYD AWWWWW YEAH!

Ventura is OUTRAGED AND IS IN THE RING PROTESTING!

Credit are rolling, huh fancy that, Kevin Dunn worked with em even way back then.


Well, there was plenty of matches, but I think in two hours cramming a 16 man tournament and a title match was kinda too much.

A lot of matches got BS endings were really way too short, now that wasn't good! But overall, I prolly like the better matches more than the mania matches.

Huh, this match is confusing and the crowd is chanting BS? Bah prolly summat else.


George "The animal" Steele vs Randy Savage

Let's go Randy! Noooooo, heel stalling tactics, nooooooo going round in circles.

Awww man, Randy looking like a total chump here. Flowers, really? Randy is attacking with flowers? FFFFFF, I hate this PPV.

Flowers are playing way too big a role in here.This is not a good mania match for the Macho man >_>

BUT HE WINS, AWWW YEAH, WOOOOO MACHO MAN!

next match has Jake the snake aww yeah!


George Wells vs Jake "The snake" Roberts

Jake the snake, best heel. DDT with the three count! Mania squash match for the heel!

AND TEH SNAKE'S OUTTA DA BAG!

Jake's such a jerk and its awesome.


Why is Mr T still working with the WWF damnit. Jesse Ventura interviewing Hogan and upstaging him Ventura so good.

Holy crap Joan Rivers at mania, her face hasn't got quite as much plastic surgery as today though. Darryl Dawkins is some judge.

"We don't need any of that crap in here", I agree with the ref. gimme big show vs floyd.

Wild swinging...a lot of wild swinging

Round 1 was bad but all that wild swinging, no way is Mr T fit enough to last 10 rounds.

Mr T falling down a lot, kinda looks like he's sweating like mad.

I have seen good boxing matches and I have seen bad boxing matches, this is certainly more entertaining than the absolute WORST, but it doesn't make it any good damnit!

Ring out wuuuut.

Even with Vince on commentary the announcing is bad, get this chick outta here, I'd rather take Natalya Neidhart on commentary!

It's only the 4th round? nooooooooooooooooooo

Wait what, all this for that ending? FFFFFFF

The Bulldogs are champs and captain lou albano is nuts. Osbourne looks too high.

The midget is totally dominating the giant yay!

I love Steamboat chops, I love Steamboat.

WOOOOOO, STEAMBOAT OWNAGE! 2-0 AT WRESTLEMANIA THE STREAK IS ON!

Also Ventura is on commentary here so that rocks.


Adrian Adonis vs Uncle Elmer

welp audio issues with the commentary and Adrian Adonis is so hideous he makes the headbangers look like Bishounens.

This has got to be the breather match, afterall we're all burnt out after the clinic Steamboat and Hercules just put on :/

Literally the most painful match to watch on the card.

Adrian Adonis wins, now plz get rid of them both.


The Funk Brothers vs Junkyard Dog and Tito Santana

This has the potential to be pretty good, I like JYD and I like Santana, NOW GET OUTTA DA RING TITO I WANT MY JYD!

What's this? I'm legit enjoying a Wrestlemania 2 match? awww yeah! Thats how much the JYD owns!

The ref is Dave Hebner and according to lord alfred he's A GREAT REF! But the commentary is now about the trunks ripping and getting a real show.

They worked the hot tag really well here and the crowd is going nuts for JYD!

Oh mah god there's blood in this match. Jesse Ventura has lost his voice trying to make you care about this main event.

Elvyra's hungry, that's nice to know.

When will this end damnit! Hogan is climbing down the cage and he wins via cage escape!

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.

Bobby Heenan wrestling is so weird and Andre the Giant is around as the Giant Machine. This whole machine thing is just weird and makes go O_O

DQ with a win for the Heenan family


Jake "The Snake Roberts" vs RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT

I'M MARKING OUT BRO, this is already the most awesome match, Jake has good heat with the crowd booing HARD and Ricky got a very nice face pop.

This is the most awesome thing ever. they have a lot of good acion here with Steamboat flying and Jake being the biggest dick ever.

The crowd is so into this match, tis a damn shame they lost the services of the Dragon, cos he owns!

Yeah, every time the momentum shifts in favour of Jake The nake we get to see some really awesome stuff. The whole apex predator viper gimmick who slowly methodically breaks you down thing that Orton does?

If he did what jake does it'd be awesome, RICKY BUSTED OPEN, JAKE TOSSES HIM BACK IN THE RING AND KEEPS JABBING AT THE WOUND! He taunts AND RICKY COMEBACK! This is is like watching Ricky being Tortured, he sells so well.

RICKY WITH THE WIN OUTTA NOWHERE VIA ROLLUP! This match owned.

They really got the crowd behind em.



Bill Jack Haynes vs Hercules Hernandez

Audio difficulties please stand by, yeah no commentary for this one.

oh wait it popped up again, but crowd is deader than disco and I can't blame em.

Billy Jack Haynes wins, does Hercules ever win? What a loser.


Mean Gene is backstage with the president Jack Tunney.


The Rougeau Brothers vs The Dream Team

Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine are on TV too much. Could be worse though, I could be seeing the Nasty Boyz, but thankfully only Chronic has to suffer through those bozos.

Well I like those canadians, THOUGH I BELIEVE IN A FREE QUEBEC!

Brutus Beefcake may be no good wrestler, but he's not mongo bad yet! This is kinda fun.

Luscious Johnny flips out as the rougeau brothers seal the win!

ANOTHER BOBBY HEENAN PROMO, he's awesome, not as good a heel as Jake the snake imo, but in the managers category, he's running away with it.


Pedro Morales vs Harley Race

They both look so old. Oh hey this is a surprise, for such old men they can actually still kinda go.

REAL AMERICAN! yeah as a Hogan match this was much better than the poopy mania 2 outing.

Wrestlemania 3

PONTIAC SILVERDOME WOOOOO!

So Icehawk went to see Bradley vs Alexander huh.

AMERICAN THE BEAUTIFUL WITH FRANKLIN!The count right now for the opening singers is 2-1 in favour of black people.

This somehow feels like the slowest rendition of the song ever.

Gorilla and Ventura with the dude Andre strangled and some chick.

WE STARTING WITH TAGS!


The Can-Am Connection vs Magnificent Muraco and Bob Orton w/ Mr Fuji

So Rick Martel is wrestling huh and sadly so is Don Muraco. I really like having Jesse Ventura on commentary.

oh look scoop slams, they really do look different from powerslams.

MURACO NAILS HIS OWN PARTNER, Rick Martel going to work and gosh he looks awesome.

RKO OUTTA NOWHERE! Nah, not really, but Muraco is showing more athleticism than usual.

DOUBLE DROPKICK! Who's the legal man? I DON'T KNOW BUT HEY PIN 1-2-3!

RICK MARTEL IS NOW UNDEFEATED!

Crowd is really proper loud tonight.

Billy Jack Haynes getting a hype package of sorts? I'll need to ask someone when the first ever real hype package happened.

like these ones are just replays, I mean the works with Video editing and music.


Billy Jack Haynes vs Hercules

Now when was the last time Hercules Hernandez won a match? Well now his name's been changed to just Hercules, he might do better!

WEASEL! WEASEL! WEASEL!

Wait the heels have a big guy called Hercules managed by Heenan and he's being overpowered by a dude called Billy Jack Haynes.

A big man named Hercules is being overpowered. This was often billed as one of the best manias of all time.

So far the atmosphere is good, but whyyyyy do I have to watch these two go at it!

since this match is so dull I wiki'd BJH and found out this bit

In 2010 on "RF Wrestling Video Shoots" Haynes criticized Vince McMahon for all the wrestlers that died who worked in the WWE He even went as far as blaming Vince for "Chris Benoit's Double Murder Suicide" indicating that "Daniel Benoit was Vince's son and Chris found out and went nuts" though it has not been proven.

Full Nelson locked in! broken but Full Nelson outside the ring double count out.

Too many damn countouts. Post match stuff too forever.

King Kong Bundy interview, he with midgets.



King Kong Bundy w/ midgets vs Hillbilly Jim w/ Midgets

Midgets make for good commentary.I agree with Ventura, get Bundy in there to squash em all.

Bundy wrestling Jim, this makes my eyes hurt, big pile on.

Big slam and Elbow on the midget from Bundy and...a DQ?

waaaaaa, this sucks and the bundy midgets turn on him.

BOOOOO!

Liz n Savage being interviewed backstage, COME ON JUST GIMME DAT MATCH!


Harley Race vs Junkyard Dog

COME ON DOG BEAT TH KING! He won't be bowing down to no King.

Urgh why Moolah why.

Bob Uecker is a weirdo since he appears to be smitten by her.

The Brain is quite the sprightly evil manager.

DOWN GOES THE KING! Dem Headbutts. Harley Race isn't offensive for an old guy so far.

He's better than say Muraco!

Race wins against JYD and the dog is forced to bow and then slugs him.

This sounds similar to King's theme.

Vince interviews Hogan backstage, which means INTENSE PROMO! but hey at least Hogan kinda puts Andre over by saying how tough Andre's gonna be to beat.

The Rougeau Brothers vs The Dream Team w/ Luscious Johnny & Dino Bravo

Way too stacked in favour of the Dream Team.

Ventura is not satisfied with the double teaming from the faces.

But Gorilla states they got till five!

Ok The Brain and Gorilla and Ventura in the booth right now? Ok this match has the greatest commentary team of all time now.

But the Dream Team wins via distraction and Brutus is confused and he's not celebrating the win.

IS THE DREAM TEAM IMPLODING?

Clips of Piper gettin' beat up and clips of Hot Rod breaking stuff.


Roddy Piper vs Adrian Adonis w/ Jimmy Hart

Hair vs Hair

Well thats weird Jimmy seemed like he had everyone working for him early on, but now looks like his stable of guys is diminishing.

This is the last hurrah for Piper, OMG THIS IS PIPER'S LAST EVER MATCH!

woops this is like the worst retirement match ever, how the hell did Adonis let himself go that badly.

Oh my god! Adonis with the sleeper on Piper, Jimmy's got the clippers.

The last hurrah, what a sad sight, WHAT THE HELL BRUTUS BRINGING PIPER BACK TO LIFE..

RODDY WITH THE SLEEPER, well then Adrian gon have to shave his head now, big fat baldy.


The Hart Foundation and Danny Davis w/ Jimmy Hart vs The British Bulldogs and Tito Santana


So Danny Davis is a corrupt ref, hahahaha, suck it Nick Patrick.

The Hart foundation sre in pink yay! Neidhart's not too bad a power wrestler.

But Davey Boy is awesome, Davis not wrestling much at all, Dynamite Kid vs Bret bits are great.

DK is like the greatest ever ball of steroids.

Davis spent like 2 seconds in and tags out, good. SANTANA WITH THE HOT TAG.

Santana beats up the man who screwed him outta da IC title, he's on fire.

Santana was going for the figure four but the anvil interferes.

PILDRIVER ON DAVIS, Davey Boy's big power moves are cool. But by now we've already got too much DD action and....the Hart Foundation wins.

BS ending, really BS ending.


Heenan is an awesome manager.

oh hey look Slick is around


Butch Reed vs Kobo B. Ware

The birdman is around and he's got a parrot lol @ his theme though.

Koko is really over. I like JYD more than Koko.

Butch Reed wins with a handful of tights and BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE, why the hell is Tito Santana around.

ok, with a card like this, given its booking, how the hell can you think kayfabe is alive damnit!

FINALLY THE REAL MAIN EVENT

INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH

Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat w/ George "The Animal" Steele vs Randy "Macho Man" Savage w/ Elizabeth

I like this Ricky theme way more than the one they use nowadays.

Ok we all know how this match is damnit, Ricky and Randy going so fast they make everyone else look slow, EVEN THE DYNAMITE KID.

oh hey, I think that's Hebner the ref. Savage going after the throat, what a dick. Dragon's dying out there.

Dream combo here, you got two guys who can go having a great match and a great announce team making this even better.

Hebner scolding Steele, Savage's top corner double axe handle is way better than anyone else's.

Ventura is mad with Hebner's bad refereeing, COMEBACK TIME FOR STEAMBOAT!

MOMENTUM CHANGER! Steamboat with the chops! You can feel the title slipping away from Savage's grasp.

Great sequences of near pinfalls. The commentators are legit excited here after seeing so much crap, who can blame them.

Literally marking out. Ref bump! Clothesline by Savage, MACHO GOING WITH THE ELBOW!

But the ref is down, MACHO GOING OUT WHAT'S HE DOIN? HE'S TAKING THE BELL, BUT THE ANIMAL SNATCHES IT, SAVAGE GETS IT BACK!

SMALL PACKAGE BY STEAMBOAT AND WE GOT A NEEEEEEEEEWWWW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!

right lets go home now.

Mean Gene backstage with JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS and Alice Cooper.

Huh, even as a face Jake the snake promos are awesome.


Jake Robert w/ Alice Cooper vs Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart

Jake playing the babyface in peril, when he has snakes.

FFFFFFF

Oh wow, this might be the fittest I've ever seen Honky Tonk.

Honky Tonk man wins! He stole it and Jake is not a happy bunny, or snake!

Yay even as a face Jake can be the biggest douche of all time.

Mean Gene is now in the ring telling us LIES!

Hulk Hogan>The Rolling Stones.


Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff w/ Slick vs The Killer Bees

HACKSAW INTERRUPTS THE THEME, loads of crap in the ring.

Hacksaw costs the bees the chance to win cos of a DQ.

Ya know Sheik and Volkoff as a tag team win a fair bit.

oh look they showing why hogan and andre are gonna fight


MAIN EVENT:

WORLD TITLE MATCH

Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant

Enormous pop for the Hulkster, bell has rung, IMMOVABLE OBJECT LINE!

This is underway, but we got STAREDOWN!

He's Hulking up right now! lol, Andre on his knees is taller than the ref.

Hogan's back is injured 2 minutes in.

HULKSTER MAKING HIS COMEBACK he demolishing Andre!

I kinda wanna see a tiny guy like Kendrick try to have a match with Andre >_>

Bear Hug!

Oh is this match still going on?

Man for a face Hogan has some of the dirtiest heel tactics.

GIANT KNOCKED OFF HIS FEET HE SLAMMED HIM!

....legdrop of doom, THE LEGDROP IS THE MOST POWERFUL MOVE EVER.

HULK HOGAN IS CHAMPION YAY! He's thanking the guy upstairs. Pretty huge pop for him.

Huh, weird Hogan not celebrating with the belt.

In these celebrations, I noticed we're starting to see more and more Hogan merch and the number of signs the crowd is bringing is increasing.

Its a gradual step.

This was a one match show, but Hogan vs Andre had some good atmosphere too.

posting this just before reading about WM3, but the Rougeau Brothers are pretty much the best tag team. And Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura are amazing commentators.

Surivor Series 1987


Edited down to two hours and brought to you by WWF home video series.

This is in Cleveland and Monsoon/Ventura on commentary.

oh goddamnit, this is gonna be a pain in the ass to name everyone in each SvS team.

But it appeas as though the first match will be Team Honky vs Team Savage, I can live with face Savage.


Harley Race, Hercules, Danny Davis, Outlaw Ron Bass and The Honky Tonk Man w/ Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart vs Ricky Steamboat, Brutus Beefcake, Jake Roberts, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Randy Savage w/ Elizabeth.

Looking at both teams, I REALLY DO WONDER which team I will side with.

Hercules vs Brutus Beefcake to start things, you have Savage, Steamboat and Roberts and you decide to kick things off with Barber.

Beefcake is kinda soloing team Honky, so sad. Why is Danny Davis wrestling so much, he has the worst outfit ever, looks like a total geek.

Steamboat I noticed is no longer the Intercontinental Champion.

We got some Harley Race on Steamboat action, plenty of skinning the cat sequences. Duggan and Race brawling outside the ring, double countout looming, yup, they outta here.

Ron Bass vs Jake the snake, but da macho man is in there! The crowd is pretty electric.

Ron bass has been eliminated! 4 vs 3, Honky's team has Danny Davis, SURELY they can't win now!

Facecake sucks and gets pinned by Honky. Macho Man and Danny Davis trading blows....DANNY DAVIS IS TRADING BLOWS WITH THE MACHO MAN!

Roberts smacking Honky Tonk Man. But Honky gets the upperhand, he's in control now too. Davis has too much ring action :(

They working on Roberts loads, time for a hot tag, well he's still getting beat up by Davis. BUT ROBERTS IS HULKING UP!DDT!

AND YES DAVIS IS OUT, THANK YOU SNAKE! THANK YOU SNAKE!

Down to Herc and Honky on the heel side. Its been a while since Steamboat has done anything. BUT HE'S IN NOW!

He's going after everyone TAG TO SAVAGE FLYING ELBOW, ITS HONKY VS 3 DUDES!

Roberts is now in there vs Honky, there's some double teaming going on. Honky Tonk gettin' tortured.

Savage owns! Honky heading for the exist, countout win for Team Savage. Why is Moolah face? I don't knoooow.

Honky ducks a the pinfall boooo!


The Glamour Girls, Dawn Marie, Donna Christalleno, Sensational Sherri vs Velvet McIntyre, Rockin' Robin, Jumping Bomb Angels and The Fabulous Moolah


Yes, a SVS wimminz match, this is going to make my eyes bleed, Velvet McIntyre is from Dublin, so this is Sheamus's momma?

The heels look so ancient and the only girls that matter in this are the Jumping Bomb Angels.

Crowd is dead btw.

Donna is the first one out, Velvet is actually pretty good, she's a high flyer doing her spots. Dawn Marie vs Robin is kinda not fun to watch.

Yeah Evo is way more entertaining than watching these girls, at least the divas are hot!

Dawn Marie is out, so this is 5 on 3 action and the Jumping Bomb Angels are so good Ventura is marking out. He may be a heel colour guy, but he'll give credit where credit is due.

These girls have the worst outfits ever though.

After two relatively quick eliminations this has kinda slowed down, also Lelani Kai is blond now.

Sherri eliminates Rockin' Robin.

Moolah's out and now we got a boston crab from velvet on Judy Martin.

Man, women's tag champions existed back then.

This is already the longest women's match I've ever seen.

Velvet pins the champ, so its down to tag champs vs Velvet and the Angels.

Lelani Kai pins Velvet by outsmarting her. So yeah it took a SvS to essentially gives us a Tag match.

oh now Lelani Kai got pinned so its one chick vs both Angels.

IT'S OVER, the Angels survive!

Next match is an OH MY LORD, 5 TAG TEAMS, tag team SVS
