Appreciate having you back. This should be a fun venture with a hot area for wrestling.

Way too busy for my own good right now... April 15 - WWF Prime Time Wrestling w/ Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan One Man Gang & Big Bossman defeated Johnny Wayne & Ken Riggins We hear from Dusty Rhodes who lets us know that the Big Bossman is going to be the big Lossman next week because the dream is going to give him a nightmare daddy! Brutus Beefcake defeated Kenneth James - then cut his hair to the delight of the crowd Tugboat Thomas defeated Bob Ryder Dino Bravo & The Earthquake defeated Bob Holly, Steven Wallace, & Mike Wiliams We hear from the Rockers who are ready to defend their US tag titles next week against this Duo of Bravo and Quake… they are ready for their size and strength… but they won’t be able to match the Rockers’ speed! Hercules defeated Frank Kramer Haku w/ Bobby Heenan defeated Sam Simpson Honky Tonk Man w/ Jimmy Hart defeated Pete King British Bulldog defeated Erick Strong A special Brother Love Segment plays out with Dan Spivey coming out to talk about graduating from the school of hard knocks! He is sick and tired of people holding him back and is going to be a mercenary who does what he wants when he wants and how he wants! He says that he’s done with this letterman’s coat… throws it to the ground… then we see Paul E Dangerously walk out… he’s got Sherri and Muta… Paul E and Sherri then shake hands with Spivey as Paul E says his new name is DANGEROUS DAN SPIVEY because he’s the newest member of the DANGEROUS ALLIANCE! The crowd seems to pop a little… Paul E has put together a hell of a group here so far… he says he isn’t done and before the end… people will be begging for his forgiveness!

I can't say I did too bad with my picks and to be honest - 1989 - Midnight Express would have totally been a top pick to win the Crockett Cup. Very smart booking through the tournament and with the Road Warriors and Demo gone - Midnights make the most sense and really give the credibility to the cup!

Great Clash - everything moves forward - big matches and now we've got all eyes going towards WrestleWar. Lawler vs Flair is marquee... plus we've got Funk and Sting in the crowning... Eddie Gilbert is causing Mayhem... wouldn't mind seeing him and Lawler team up somehow against the Horsemen... good stuff!

I appreciate that big list - for what its worth - I've got Giant Gonzalez and Tatanka on my roster but have yet to use either of them. I can hold off till 90 if people think that would be more appropriate.

April 8 - WWF Superstars of Wrestling w/ Vince McMahon & Jesse Ventura Superstars opens this week with Vince and Jesse putting over WrestleMania 5 in a big way. They talk about the big WWF Superstars Live coming up in two weeks on the 22nd of April. We will see the Rockers defend the US tag titles against Earthquake and Dino Bravo…. A huge six-man tag with Andre the Giant, Tito Santana, and Jimmy Snuka taking on the Powers of Pain and Kamala. Plus we will find out the number one contender when the Big Bossman takes on Dusty Rhodes. The winner will face the WWF Champion next month at Saturday Night’s Main Event! We have also learned that Randy Macho Man Savage, the WWF Champion, he will be a special guest on the Brother Love show! What a night we’ve got in store for you… let’s head to the ring! The British Bulldog defeated Connor Riggins Earthquake defeated Xavier Rollins & William Teller Dan Spivey defeated ST Jones (Interesting side note… lots of talk about Spivey leaving the Varsity Club… we’re told he will be on Brother Love next week to speak on the matter…) Jesse and Vince continue to pump up WrestleMania 5 and the big Superstars live show. We also hear that the Great Muta and the Dangerous Alliance will be in attendance. Jesse says that he knows who Paul E has his eyes on and it is going to shock the world! Vince wonders just who he could conjure up. We also hear that WWF Tag Team Champions Demolition are looking forward to their next contenders… we’re told Bobby Heenan has been putting a team together just for that. Demolition defeated Fred Atkins & Ricky Tubbs The Great Muta w/ Paul E & Sherri defeated Monte Silver The Dynamic Dudes defeated The Super Shadows We go to the event center where Gene is putting over the big Superstars Live show on the 22nd. Mr. Fuji lets us know that he has got his big men ready for a war. He tells everyone that Andre the Giant is going to be in for a huge surprise! Andre, Tito, and Jimmy put over their six-man and talk about bringing the fight to Fuji and putting him away for good. They can’t wait for the big surprise because Andre is going to show him just how small he is! Dino Bravo chimes in to let us know that he and the big Earthquake plan on tagging those US tag titles and making them the Canada Tag Team titles and then they are coming for Demolition! Big Bossman lets us know that the good for nothing Dusty Rhodes is nothing but a fat slob and he is going to get justice, the hard way on Superstars Live. Dusty Rhodes puts over the big showdown with Bossman. Everyone wants to know why it couldn’t go down before but it is going to go down now because the stars have aligned. The Americana Tour 1989 has a detour through the land of justice and baby… he is going to take the Bossman for a ride! Randy Savage lets us know that he has got a deal in place with Brother Love to tell him just what he thinks of the number one contender. He doesn’t care if it is Rhodes or Bossman, the Macho Man bows down to no man and he will reign supreme as the WWF Champion! Gene closes us out letting us know that the next couple of months will be huge for the WWF… We’ll see Superstars Live on the 22nd of April, May the 25th will be Saturday Night’s Main Event, and then June the 2nd, the WWF returns to the Nassau Coliseum and we will see a loaded card for that event. Rhythm and Blues defeated Phil Simmons & Ken Wallace Kamala w/ Fuji & Powers of Pain defeated Mark Williams & Joe Smith Haku w/ Heenan defeated Koko Ware

The WWF held a very interesting house show last night at State College in Pennsylvania... US tag Titles - The Rockers defeated The Powers of Pain WWF tag Titles - Demolition defeated The Varsity Club but only Spivey and Sullivan - Genius and Rotundo were no shows Intercontinental Championship - Muta went to a 29-minute work-a-thon with Martel before defeating him Andre the Giant defeated Haku In what may go down as history... Randy Savage defeated Dusty Rhodes & The Big Bossman in a Triangle match when Rick Rude got involved and caused a DQ. This was said to be very messy with Savage working both face and heel - Rhodes as face - and Bossman as heel. Rhodes and Savage cleared the ring but then acted like they were going to go at one another until Elizabeth showed up to pull Savage out of the ring...

Sarge and Nikita is something I could sink my teeth into for sure. Hogan is on the horizon... the sun may be setting on Gordy but he's got a trick or two up his sleeve still... I mean he's a freebird after all. I'd also like to put over Paul Orndorff as an unsung hero here. He's been built... he has value... he obviously has a name and talent... a very underrated top tier guy in the AWA right now and in our world of wrestling.

April 1 - WWF Prime Time Wrestling w/ Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan All the fallout from WrestleMania is covered. We hear about Savage retaining the WWF title, Muta winning the Intercontintenal Championship, and Demolition retaining the Tag Team Championships. Heenan says he’s going to put a team together to challenge for those US tag titles… Gorilla says that the Rockers will be defending the titles on April the 22nd on a special Superstars of Wrestling Live. They will go against Rhythm and Blues. Gorilla and Bobby also talk about the Big Bossman and his incident with Randy Savage the other night… We see the post WrestleMania press conference… at the stage we’ve got Demolition, Muta and Paul E, Dusty Rhodes, Rick Rude, Bobby Heenan, and Randy Savage. Everyone is putting over the event until a ruckus is heard… it’s the Big Bossman! The Bossman is being held back by security and he is giving Savage the business… he is telling him that he’s the true number one contender and it is time he puts up the title like a man. Dusty Rhodes chimes in to let Bossman know he is good for nothing… Heenan tries to talk and Dusty tells him to keep quiet… Bossman is now getting closer to the stage and he throws a glass of water at Savage… “Come on Boi! Come on Boi” but Dusty of all people jumps up and we’ve got a hockey style brawl with shirts being pulled. Savage gets involved and Bossman pulls out the Night Stick and NAILS him right in the skull! Savage goes down as Rhodes chases Bossman off. Savage does a nasty blade job and the last images we see are of him, busted wide open, laying on the concrete floor… Gorilla and Bobby then stir around the idea of Rude being the number one contender but Savage says that they have an agreement. We hear about some newcomers and returning stars here in the WWF. We get two different return/debuts The Dynamic Dudes (Shane & Johnny) defeated Ken Young and Mark Strong Kamala w/ Mr. Fuji defeated Bob Wilkins & Geoffrey George Gorilla and Bobby come back to put over the Superstars of Wrestling event on the 22nd here on the USA Network. Bobby says he will be in attendance and so will the family. We hear that Andre the Giant will team with Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka to take on the Powers of Pain and Kamala…. But Mr. Fuji is saying he has an even bigger surprise for Andre. He says the war is far from over! Brutus Beefcake defeated John Demspey <<<< Then gave him a haircut Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy & The Earthquake defeated Phil Simmons Gorilla and Bobby come back to put over the haircut match at WrestleMania and how the Terry Taylor is going to have a hard time getting the red out of his hair. Heenan says he looks like a rooster. Hmmm… then we hear about Dino Bravo and how we’ll see the debut of the Earthquake next week on Superstars. We also hear that a main event has been set for the Superstars live on April the 22nd, we’ll see Dusty Rhodes taking on the Big Bossman with the winner getting a shot at Randy Savage. We have some news from the event center…. We hear from Paul E who says that the Dangerous Alliance is coming together and he welcomes in Sherri and Muta. He says that this is a group that will tear the WWF down to its very foundations and they are just getting started. We hear from the Big Bossman who really lays into Randy Savage and now Dusty Rhodes. These two are on a collision course! Hacksaw Jim Duggan chimes in to let us know that he’s got an eye on Dino Bravo and another eye on Jimmy Hart. He hears that Bravo is going to try and take Duggan’s American Flag… but Duggan says he’ll fight for Ol Glory until he can’t fight no more! We then hear from the Macho Man… still heel at this point… putting down Dusty Rhodes and the Big Bossman. He has got the bandage on his head and he says he might be a little crazy… yeah… he might have a screw loose because wants both of them! Mean Gene ends the event center with news that the Ultimate Warrior has not been seen since WrestleMania… the search for the Warrior has begun! Gorilla and Bobby come back with some more push of WrestleMania. We hear about stars like the British Bulldog and the Steiners who look to be on the rise. Stars like Tito Santana who is looking to get back on the winning side. We’ve got two big matches to finish up the night… Hercules defeated Kevin Jackson The Steiner Brothers defeated the Bolshiveiks We see the Varsity Club come back out… and Kevin Sullivan put over how they have been aimless recently… but now they have a focus… they have a mind that could put them into the stratosphere… here he is… from the Alma Mater… with a PhD is Wrestlign Psychology….the one… the only… the Genius! The Steiner Brothers a duo of two They share a brain that is less than half of a monkey crew Your intelligence is weak just like your Alma Mater Who has ever been afraid of a Wolverine…. I lead my men to victory on the field of battle We are going to beat you so bad that you’ll have to run and tattle But tell whomever you can think of just don’t get your hopes up too high Becauce when the Varsity Club is finished with you - everyone will see you and sigh

WrestleMania 5 Gorilla and Jesse open us up with a big run down of the card tonight. Jesse makes it a point to let us know that we will see a new champion tonight… Gorilla wonders if tonight will be the power of the paint… Jesse questions it but Gorilla points out how each of the title matches has people who wear face paint. Jesse can’t believe the coincidence but he says tonight we will see a new champion, someway, somehow… It is going to be historic! It’s time to get to the ring though… Here is our opening contest. Steiners vs Varsity Club w/ Kevin Sullivan We get it going right out the gates as the bad boys from Mo-Town come out to a nice ovation. Sullivan looks to have Spivey and Rotundo ready for a war. These four go for about 12-minutes and they kick things off with a fire. We get a nice heat segment on Rick Steiner all leading to a huge tag to Scott Steiner who nails a couple of HUGE Steiner Lines! Rick Steiner works his way back up and clotheslines Spivey out of the ring to the floor… Rick then goes on the apron and runs and jumps on Spivey and Sullivan! Inside the ring we see Steiner toss Rotundo to the ropes and when he comes back Scotty hits the FRANKENSTEINER! OMFG! 1….2…..3!!! The Steiners have won it and the crowd is going nuts! Rick and Scott work the fans… what a moment… Mean Gene is in the back with Haku, Rick Rude, and Bobby Heenan. He points out how the Heenan Family is shrinking in many ways… Heenan goes on to say that size doesn’t matter… it is the quality and these two men are the best of the best of the best… tonight they prove it. Tonight we see Haku take apart that good for nothing Duggan and then Ravishing Rick Rude is going to send Tito Santana back to Mexico! Hacksaw Duggan vs Haku w/ Heenan HOOOOO!!!!! Dusty Rhodes may be on the Americana tour but Hacksaw is out here in all of Old Glory. Haku looks tough here this evening… Heenan has him primed as ready for a decent 8-minute slugfest! These two pull no punches and it makes for a nice contest. In the end we see Haku go for a diving headbutt but Duggan ducks… Hacksaw stumbles down but then the three point stance… HUGE LARIAT! 1…2….3! Hacksaw with a huge win over the Heenan Family… we’ll see how this shakes out over the long run for the Brain tonight. Gorilla and Jesse put over the matches so far. They wonder if Rick Rude will get the Heenan Family back on track. They put over the issue with Hercules and Bossman… they talk about Paul Roma getting involved a couple of weeks ago… Jesse reminds us that wherever Slick is… the One Man Gang isn’t too far behind! Hercules vs Big Bossman w/ Slick Have you ever taken a trip to Cobb County? Well brother Hercules did tonight and it didn’t go well. Bossman beats the living shit out of him… and it isn’t pretty. Hercules tries to get in some offense but Bossman is just a monster. The nasty Bossman slam is all she wrote. Bossman even gets out the night stick and nails Hercules in the ribs a couple of times for good measure. Mean Gene is in the back and he is with the Intercontinental Champion, Rick Martel. He puts over this huge match with Muta tonight. He says in some ways he is an underdog but that is because people don’t know what he can do. Tonight he’s going to show the world exactly what he’s made of… Pride… Honor… and Dignity… all of the makings of a champion and tonight he’ll show everyone! Brutus Beefcake vs Terry Taylor - HAIR CUT MATCH This one has been brewing for quite some time… all the talk is over. We hear Gorilla and Jesse put over that this isn’t a hair vs hair match but rather a haircut match. Whatever that means we will see. These guys go about 13-minutes… no doubt that Terry Taylor looks good in the ring and he can bring out the best in Brutus Beefcake. Some good selling and hope spots all lead to a huge back elbow from Taylor on Brutus and he goes flying. 1….2…FOOT ON THE ROPE! Terry Taylor is not happy… he is arguing with the referee and then Beefcake comes back and Taylor with a huge right hook but Beefcake ducks and ATOMIC DROP… Taylor sells… and Beefcake with the SLEEPER HOLD! Taylor is struggling… he is going down… the referee checks his arm… oh my… TAYLOR IS OUT! Beefcake has won it and Taylor is out like a light… Beefcake has to catch his breath and then he grabs the scissors and makes a couple of cuts… Jesse is going nuts on this… Beefcake then grabs the clippers and he forms his hair… spiked up the middle… what is going on here…. Beefcake goes in the bag… he pulls out… what is that… he puts it in Taylors hair… oh my… he turned his mohawk RED! Taylor is shaken awake by Beefcake and goes nuts when he sees his hair… this is crazy! Kerry Von Erich & Kevin vs Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart A little juice to this one as the Von Erichs come out to a great ovation.Honky and Valentine - Rhythm and Bruise are getting some good heat. Jimmy has got his men primed. We get a nice 9-minutes… Honky and Valentine get some heat on Kerry and then Kevin. Kevin sells so well… he’s at the tail end of his career… he plays the older brother well and when he makes the big tag to Kerry… the fans go wild. We hear a huge ovation as Kerry comes in with some big clotheslines… and then a pair of Twister Rights and then Jimmy Hart gets up on the apron and Kerry locks in the CLAW! Here comes Honky with a knee but Kerry moves and Hart goes flying into the guardrail! Valentine gets up but Kevin out of nowhere with a huge dropkick! Honky turns around and Kerry with the CLAW! Honky moves and shakes but he goes down and we get a three count! The Von Erichs are winners and the crowd pops! Kerry and Kevin celebrate up the aisle… the Von Erichs are back here in the WWF and they are back with a passion the size of Texas! Mean Gene is in the back with the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. He puts over the huge match with the Von Erichs coming out on top. He gets questioned by Gene about Jimmy Hart’s new man… the Earthquake… Dusty says he is the true natural disaster… tonight he’s going to show the world what the Americana tour 1989 is all about and Dino Bravo is going to find out what the American Dream is all about tonight! Davey Boy Smith vs One Man Gang w/ Slick This one is a big time coming out party for Davey Boy Smith who comes out to a great ovation from the crowd. He has got the Union Jack right behind him as the One Man Gang looks like a monster right now. This one is about 6-minutes… Gang uses his power and strength to break down the Bulldog… but then we see a change… the crowd starts to cheer for Davey Boy and he comes back with some big shots including a huge shoulder block that sends Gang flying! Jesse and Gorilla argue whether or not he can do it… but it happens… Davey Boy picks up the One Man Gang and puts him through the ring with a POWERSLAM! 1…2…..3!!! What a victory! Davey Boy with a huge win and the Gang is selling in a big way. Davey has got the fans behind him… the sky could be the limit for this guy. Jesse and Gorilla get a moment to say hi to Terry, Tyrel, and Jade. We also get the Jesse Ventura pose down in the arena to the delight of the crowd. They put over how we still have three big title matches… right now, it is time for Ravishing Rick Rude… one who many feel is the number one contender for the WWF Championship! Tito Santana vs Rick Rude w/ Heenan The pace of the previous two matches gets slowed down with these two pros that leave it all in the ring. Tito is so good at getting the crowd behind him and he really brings out the best in Rude while doing so. We get about 13-minutes… Rude with some heat and then Tito comes back with a fire. Rude is able to cut him off and then go to work. We see Rude hit a nasty piledriver… that sets up Tito for a quick comeback but Rude ducks the flying forearm… Tito staggers up and here comes Rude with a knee to the gut… RUDE AWAKENING! 1….2….3!! Rick Rude with an impressive win over an impressive opponent… what is next for the Ravishing one? Mean Gene is in the back and he is with the WWF Champion, Randy Macho Man Savage. Savage puts over the big title match coming up later this evening. He puts over how strong Warrior is… but how he pales in comparison to the Macho Man. He says he is going to drop the elbow right through his black heart, not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES! Understand this Warrior… This belt is mine… this championship is mine… THIS IS MY WORLD AND YOU DON’T BELONG HERE! I am going to take you down to where you belong… the dirt I step on and never think about again! Demolition vs Rockers - Tag Titles This is one we’ve all been waiting for… US tag titles vs World tag titles… these two teams have 20-minutes and we get a whale of a match. Neither team works full heel but rather skates the line and keeps the fans guessing. We see double team strength movies from Demolition and quick blind tags… even non-tags from the Rockers as both teams are pulling out every stop. Shawn Michaels uses this as a coming out party for some really great work and we see a highlight when Ax and Smash take a powder out of the ring and then we see Shawn run and leap over the top rope and crossbody both men! We get into the final moments with both teams looking to go for broke… Demolition go for a double gordbuster on Jannetty… Michaels then comes with a huge clothesline on Smash and they go out of the ring to the floor. Ax takes the chance to pick up Jannetty and he goes for a huge shoulder breaker… but when he gets up and turns around… Shawn Michaels off the top rope for a crossbody on Ax and they go over the top to the floor. Marty Jannetty comes back and he goes for a big cross body on Smash who catches him and turns it into a nasty powerslam! 1….2….3!! Demolition have won it! Demolition has retained the WWF Tag team championship but there’s something else here. Shawn Michael seems to have fallen in a bad way and he’s holding his knee. Demolition grab the tag titles and they work the crowd. Gorilla and Jesse put over the tag team champions in a huge way. They can’t believe the match and wonder what it will be like if the Rockers get a rematch. Jesse says he doesn’t suspect that the Rockers will be in a hurry given that Michaels looks to be in a terrible way. It is time to see the American Dream, let’s go to the ring! Dusty Rhodes vs Dino Bravo w/ Jimmy Hart Dusty Rhodes comes out to a huge ovation from the fans. Dino Bravo is getting some nice cheap heat but Dusty Rhodes has got the Americana tour on point and here we go. 9-minutes… Dino gets heat… he and Jimmy work over Dusty… the USA chants start to grind and here we go… the fans chanting and cheering… next thing we know… Rhodes is firing back with some big rights and lefts and then the elbows and one seems to catch Dino on the nose and he has got a gusher. Rhode then with a huge elbow on Jimmy and sends him flying. Dusty grabs Dino and hits a little shimmy an a huge elbow… Dusty tosses Dino to the ropes and then a big cross body for the 1…2….3!!! Dusty goes up and celebrates with the fans. The American Dream is alive and well right here in the City of Brotherly Love. Mean Gene is standing by with the Ultimate Warrior who pushes Gene away and goes into a little rant about how he has traveled through the desert to get to this moment… it was in the darkness that the Warrior saw a light… a light at the end of the tunnel that will reveal our biggest strength. Warrior says that his strength pales in comparison to the strength of the gods and all the warriors throughout history… but now… now history stands still… time stands still… the world stands still to see what the next step is… I am going to take my steps towards the gods… but if I fall Randy Savage… understand that I will bring the world down with me… the world as you know it… the WWF Championship is a mere gem in the rubble of our DESTRUCTION! Rick Martel vs Great Muta w/ Paul E- IC title This is one that everyone has been waiting for… Martel comes out and he looks absolutely focused. Muta comes out with some pomp and circumstance… he has a special robe and mask… Paul E has him primed and he is pumping him up as Muta gets into the ring and we see him spit the myst high in the air. This is the longest match of the night and for just cause… these two go 28-minutes. We see the technical prowess of both men. Martel is move - countermove… while Muta is more of the move - speed counter - more speed - and then go up to the top and hit something out of nowhere! We get some big moves from Muta… the snap elbow drop… the spinning/flipping back elbow in the corner… and then a nasty shining wizard that busts Martel open. Rick Martel is no slouch though… he comes back with a couple of huge german and belly to belly suplex’ along with a piledriver that cracks the paint of Muta! Muta looks to set up for the Moonsault but Martel hits the ropes and Muta goes down on the top turnbuckle! Martel goes up top and he nails a huge TOP ROPE BACK SUPLEX! Both men are selling big time… Martel then gets up and hammers Muta down… he grabs the BOSTON CRAB! OH MY! Martel has it locked in tight! What is this… one of the cameraman down by the ring… they take their hat off… THAT’S SHERRI! SHERRI IS HERE! She has Martel’s attention and he is loosening up while Sherri goes up on the apron… Martel loosens up and goes over to ask her what is going on… Sherri gets down without a word… Muta is up and when Martel turns around we see the MYST! Martel is blinded… Muta hits the ropes and nails a standing SHINING WIZARD! Martel is down and Muta goes up top… MOONSAULT! 1…..2….3! The Great Muta is the NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION! The crowd pops a little here… Paul E goes to the ring and celebrates with Muta… grabs the title and walk the ring… Paul E is looking on with a tear in his eye? Jesse and Gorilla put this through the roof…has Sherri joined Muta and Paul E… what in the hell is going on here… they put over yet another title change… they put over the power of the paint… they talk about how Savage must be thinking about this as he heads into his match with the Warrior… right now we’ve got a huge tag team match… here we go! Snuka & Andre vs Warlord & Barbarian w/ Fuji The return of the Superfly is quite the spectacle as he and Andre walk down to the ring to a huge ovation. Fuji has got his Powers of Pain ready for war and this one is a simple 9-minute contest. We see the POP get heat on Snuka… wear him down… Andre comes in with a huge pop and beats the hell out of both guys. We see some big bodyslams… then the clothesline on Barb sending him out of the ring. The Warlord gets nailed with a huge boot right to the mush! Andre tags in Snuka who goes up top… then on Andre’s shoulders… SUPERFLY! 1…2…3!! Andre and Snuka look great in a huge victory tonight… Andre looks happy… the smile is ear to ear and he and Snuka celebrate on their way to the back! We then see a special video… it highlights all the big happenings as we get ready… we get set… It is time for the WWF Championship Match at WrestleMania 5! Randy Savage vs Ultimate Warrior - WWF title Amazing entrances from both men as the crowd is stirring for this one. For some reason, these two pull out the best in one another and we get a very good 19-minute contest full of drama. We have the power and strength of Warrior who throws Savage around like a ragdoll. We have the panache and technique of Savage who is second to none when it comes to showmanship. We have Savage work over the legs of the Warrior and in a huge moment… Warrior goes for the big Press Slam but the knee gives out! Warrior really sells the knee and Savage even locks in a figure-four leg lock much to the chagrin of the crowd. Warrior has to fight it off and breaks free before he goes into a fun series of shots… but Savage counters out of nowhere when Warrior leaps for a shoulder block but Savage ducks and Warrior goes outside the ring. Savage then hits the flying ax-handle smash from the top rope outside the ring. We see Savage go into his final moments as he picks up Warrior and puts him in the ring and we see a couple of huge shots before a PILEDRIVER! Warrior is down… Savage looks out to the crowd and then he goes up top… ELBOW DROP! 1….2…. Savage pulls his head up… what in the hell is he doing? Savage says no way… he goes up again for another ELBOW DROP! Savage gets up and he is working the fans. Savage makes the sign for the WWF Championship. He leaps and Warrior MOVES! Savage comes crashing down into the mat and he is writhing in pain. Warrior is slow to get up but he is pumping himself up with the Warrior rope shake… Savage gets up and tries to pound away but Warrior is impervious to pain! Warrior then hits his cycle with big clotheslines and then a press slam and Savage is out of it. Warrior is taking just a minute too long though… he runs to the ropes and comes for the big splash but Savage gets his knees up and Warrior comes down right on his ribs. Savage then goes to the ropes as Warrior is getting up… Savage goes up top again and leaps for a crossbody and Warrior CATCHES HIM! He stumbles a bit… but then presses Savage up… and SLAMS no wait, Savage rolls over the back… a backslide for the 1….2….3!!!! RANDY SAVAGE HAS DONE IT! Randy Savage has retained the WWF Championship and the fans can’t believe it! Gorilla and Jesse put this through the roof. WrestleMania 5 is in the books… we have new champions… Savage stays at the top of the WWF…Where do we go from here?!? *Coliseum Video exclusive… We have some special Coliseum Video Exclusives captured… the first sees Macho Man come to the back and he is welcomed by none other than Ms. Elizabeth! They embrace with a huge hug and there is clapping heard. We see another video showing the Ultimate Warrior coming back… he is congratluated and welcomed by some of the babyfaces but is shown walking right through the backstage and out into the darkness. We see the post WrestleMania press conference… at the stage we’ve got Demolition, Muta and Paul E, Dusty Rhodes, Rick Rude, Bobby Heenan, and Randy Savage. Everyone is putting over the event until a ruckus is heard… it’s the Big Bossman! The Bossman is being held back by security and he is giving Savage the business… he is telling him that he’s the true number one contender and it is time he puts up the title like a man. Dusty Rhodes chimes in to let Bossman know he is good for nothing… Heenan tries to talk and Dusty tells him to keep quiet… Bossman is now getting closer to the stage and he throws a glass of water at Savage… “Come on Boi! Come on Boi” but Dusty of all people jumps up and we’ve got a hockey style brawl with shirts being pulled. Savage gets involved and Bossman pulls out the Night Stick and NAILS him right in the skull! Savage goes down as Rhodes chases Bossman off. Savage does a nasty blade job and the last images we see are of him, busted wide open, laying on the concrete floor…

3/25 Superstars of Wrestling with Vince McMahon & Jesse Ventura WRESTLEMANIA SHOWDOWN EDITION! Shawn Michaels vs Smash Really a fun contest between two of the better tag wrestlers in the WWF… they go toe to toe right in the middle of the ring for 12-minutes. We have Ax come down first… then Jannetty… the finish is fun… Smash takes over and he looks for a big powerslam… when he runs Michaels pushes him off and Smash hits the turnbuckle… he turns around and RUNNING SUPERKICK! Smash goes down for the 1…2….3!! Ax jumps right in the ring as Jannetty helps Michaels… Ax then comes over and he starts bad mouthing both of them before throwing Michaels out of the ring to the floor! Face to Face with Muta and Martel These two come face to face… as it were… with Muta all gussied up in his attire. Paul E does most of the talking and lets Martel know exactly where he stands in the scheme of things… near the bottom! Martel tries to chime in but Paul E is running his mouth big time… Martel then says that if Muta has something to say… he should say it… take off that mask and show the world your face… just then Muta removes the headdress… but wait… that isn’t Muta… That’s Sherri! She was all bundled up in the suit… Martel can’t make sense of it… now wait… Muta is behind him… he turns Martel around and MYSTS him right in the face! Martel is writhing in pain on the ground… Sherri runs off one way and then Paul E and Muta go the other! Rick Steiner w/ Scott Steiner vs Mike Rotundo w/ Kevin Sullivan This is a contest that many have been waiting for. Rick and Scott look like a million $$ out here… and Rotundo is such a pro. We see some good amateur wrestling to get things going before Sullivan sticks his nose into things. This causes Scott to come over and pummel him… only for Dan Spivey to show up out of the back and jump in the ring to give Rick a huge Boot to the Mush and then a powerbomb. Rotundo rolls him up with a handful of tights and we’ve got a winner… or so it seems. Face to Face with Warrior and Savage Big segment with these two… both men bring their A game… Warrior is going on about some nonsense regarding his destiny and the sacrifice of the ultimate macho man will bring him closer to the gods and secure his spaceship to parts unknown. Savage looks at him and runs him through the ringer about living in a fantasy world but reality is soon going to strike him like a bolt of lightning and brother it is going to burn… it’s going to burn you right to the ground… and just when you thought you might be able to recover… I am going to drop my elbow through your heart and put you out of your misery! Warrior and Savage go face to face… Warrior starts to talk but Savage slaps him in the face! They are nose to nose now… we have got officials and agents out here… Savage is being escorted to the back while Warrior is welcoming the fight. We see Savage stop, right in the middle of the aisle and he looks out in the crowd… he yells what is she doing here? The camera pans but we can’t see who he’s referencing. Dusty Rhodes vs Greg Valentine w/ Jimmy Hart A good main event… Dusty works the fans into a frenzy… Valentine gets some good heat… We see Jimmy getting involved when he can. Soon we see Dino come out… but that brings out Kerry Von Erich… then Honky… then we see Kevin Von Erich… before too long we’ve got a hug six-man brawl… Jimmy is screaming to the back and here comes the Earthquake! Quake walks down the aisle and Kevin goes up to nail him but Quake throws him into the guardrail! Quake comes from behind and nails Kerry Von Erich and puts him down. Quake gets in the ring and he attacks Dusty from behind. Rhodes has won this match via DQ… but the finish is when The Hart Foundation hold down Dusty and Earthquake hits the SMASH right on his chest! OMG! The officials come down but the Hart Foundation walk off with a victory… Rhodes is hurt… could this be their fate this weekend?
