Airing in Syndication all across the United States of America from the Allentown Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania the World Wrestling Federation presents: A funky bass rhythm mixed with a synthesizer beat begins as clips of all the World Wrestling Federation stars such as Andre the Giant, The Fantastics, King Kong Bundy, Sgt. Slaughter, The British Bulldogs, Greg Valentine and Tito Santana in action plays. It ends with Bob Backlund holding aloft the WWF World Heavyweight title and then cuts to the logo..... Vince McMahon: Hello Everyone, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation's Superstars of Wrestling! I'm Vince McMahon and joining me at ringside is His Lordship, Lord Alfred Hayes. We are just seven days away from the biggest event in WWF history, Wrestlemania! Lord Alfred Hayes: Wrestlemania is shaping up to the biggest spectacle in the history of the wrestling business, and I for one am very excited! Vince McMahon: But before we get to Wrestlemania, we have a ton of action for you here today! We will see The Giant Machine take on two opponents as he prepares for his battle with Andre the Giant. Then from there, "The Southern Gentleman" Robert Fuller will be in singles competition. Lord Alfred Hayes: We will also see all four members of the Bobby Heenan Family compete in an eight man tag team contest, and Kevin and Kerry, the Von Erich brothers will be tag team action just days before they compete for the WWF Tag Team Championship. Vince McMahon: Then Ladies and Gentleman, today, right here on Superstars, Bruno Sammartino is going to step into the ring for the first time in nearly four years! He is also scheduled to speak with "Mean" Gene Okerlund a little later on. Lord Alfred Hayes: This will be the first time we've heard from Bruno since Bob Backlund took his son out of the WWF. It will be quite interesting to hear what the Living Legend has to say. Vince McMahon: Yes it will Alfred. Now let's head down to Howard Finkel for our opening contest! _______________________________________________________________ A picture in picture interview with Tony Atlas played during the match. Tony Atlas: Robert Fuller! You claim to be a Southern Gentleman, but all I see is a Southern Coward! So if you got the guts, how about you face me at Wrestlemania, and I'll show you why they call me The Black Superman! -Match 1- "The Southern Gentleman" Robert Fuller w/Fidel beat Shane Tylor in 5:02 by Submission with the Fuller Leglock _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Robert Fuller comes away with the victory, but after what he and Fidel pulled last week, I wouldn't want Tony Atlas breathing down my neck. Lord Alfred Hayes: Good Heavens No! Vince McMahon: We'll be right back with The Von Erich's in tag team action! PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATION PAID FOR BY THE FOLLOWING: Hidden by Darkness. Guarded by Witches. Discovered by a Boy. Stolen by a King. Whoever owns it will Rule the World...or Destroy it. On July 26th, Walt Disney Pictures presents.... The Black Cauldron -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 2- The Von Erich's (Kevin/Kerry) defeated Pete Doherty/Tom Stone in 5:19 when Kerry pinned Stone following a Discus Punch _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: All Right!! Tell us about it Alfred! Lord Alfred Hayes: Both Kevin and Kerry were quite dominant in this contest, and at the end Kerry sent Tom Stone into the ropes and dropped him with a Discus Punch that caught him directly on the jaw. Vince McMahon: If the Von Erich's can continue showing this kind of dominance in the ring, The British Bulldogs may be in for a rough night at Wrestlemania. Lord Alfred Hayes: You can say that again! The Bulldogs are one of the finest teams I have seen in all my years in the business. But Kevin and Kerry have been teaming since they were small boys, and that is an advantage that The Bulldogs can't begin to match. Vince McMahon: We'll be right back with The Giant Machine!! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 3- The Giant Machine over Rocky King/S.D. Jones in 3:48 when he pinned King following a Legdrop _______________________________________________________________ Lord Alfred Hayes: Jones and King threw everything they had at this masked monster, but none of it even seemed to phase him. Vince McMahon: No offense to either man, but Andre the Giant will be a very different story. Lord Alfred Hayes: You are absolutely correct. This Giant Machine has laid waste to all of the men he has stepped into the ring with so far here in the World Wrestling Federation. But none of them have nearly been on the level of Andre. Vince McMahon: They certainly have not. Alright Ladies and Gentleman, it's time to head on over to "Mean" Gene Okerlund and Update! With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation, this is Update with: "Mean" Gene: Hello Ladies and Gentleman, and welcome to Update! We are now just seven days away from what is set to be the biggest show in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. Quite possibly the biggest show in the history of professional wrestling. I am of course talking about Wrestlemania! Live on the Fourth of July from Madison Square Garden in New York City, or available at Closed Circuit locations across the world. We already have ten huge matches signed, and today we are going to make it an even dozen! First up, off the heels of the sneak attack they perpetrated a few weeks back, The Super Destroyers, led by manager Jimmy Hart will step into the ring with The Scufflin' Hillbillies! Our cameras caught up with Hillbilly Jim. We cut to Hillbilly Jim standing in front of a WWF backdrop Hillbilly Jim: Hey Super Destroyers! You two fella's beat up Cousin Luke pretty good, but he's back home in Mudlick eating moon pies and drinking R.C. Cola getting healthy, and when we get our hands on y'all at Wrestlemania. Well, you'll be fixin' to find out why you don't get messin' with a country boy! "Mean" Gene: Also just added to Wrestlemania after the events of last week will be singles competition when "The Southern Gentleman" Robert Fuller goes one on one with "The Black Superman" Tony Atlas! You know Atlas will be looking for revenge, but you know that Fidel will be around to try and make sure that doesn't happen. We will also see DJ Peterson go one one with "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly and his manager Jimmy Hart. The war of words between these two keeps growing, and they are both seen as future stars here in the World Wrestling Federation. At Wrestlemania, one of them will take a huge step toward filling that spot. King Kong Bundy along with manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan will step into the ring against this man..."The Candyman!" We cut to Ray Candy dressed in his red and white striped outfit in front of the WWF backdrop. "Candyman" Ray Candy: You know something Ding Dong Bundy, you get madder and madder every time you see The Candyman out here dancing and having a good time. Maybe you just need to stop being an old stick in the mud and let loose a little bit my brother! Whadda ya think Bundy? You wanna do the peppermint twist down at the sugar shack? At Wrestlemania Bundy, when I hit you with the Chocolate Drop, I promise you'll see some little birdies dancing around your head as I pin you, one, two, three! "Mean" Gene: The mysterious Japanese newcomer known as Kazaharu and "Superstar" Billy Graham will meet one one one at Wrestlemania. Graham was originally scheduled to meet WWF Champion Bob Backlund in the main event, but followed his heart and gave that opportunity away. Jimmy Hart the manager for Kazaharu mocked Graham for that choice, and that had led to this confrontation. In tag team action, Haku and Tama, The Islanders with their manager, Sunshine will step into the ring with Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, The Fantastics. This one began when The Islanders debuted their new manager and their new attitude by assaulting The Fantastics. Now Bobby and Tommy are looking for a little payback. We cut to The Fantastics in front of the WWF backdrop. Tommy Rogers: The time for talking is almost done. Haku, Tama, whatever you are calling yourselves now, you boys may be tough, but we've fought the best and won before. Bobby Fulton: Islanders, you tried to make your name at our expense! At Wrestlemania, we are gonna show you and that little jezebel you got with you that we are called The Fantastics for a reason! "Mean" Gene: In a Street Fight, which means No Count Out and No Disqualification, Tito Santana will mix it up with "Dr. D" David Schultz. These two have been at one another since Saturday Night's Main Event, and the bad blood has gotten so intense, that allowing this anything goes environment seems the only way to settle things. In six man tag team action, "Classy" Freddie Blassie's team of The Iron Sheik and The Red Scare, Nikolai Volkoff and Boris Zhukov will take on Sgt. Slaughter and The Gunslingers of Scott Casey and Johnny Mantell. They are calling this a Coward Waves the Flag match, because whichever man takes the fall, must stand in the center of the ring and wave the flag of the man who beats him! The giants will go to war when The Giant Machine and Andre The Giant meet each other at Wrestlemania. We don't know much about this masked man other than that he stands nearly eye to eye with Andre, and he apparently has a bone to pick with the Giant. Andre will of course be looking to send another contender to the throne of The Giant packing in this one. That brings us to our three big championship matches, Ladies and Gentleman. First up we will see Kevin and Kerry, The Von Erich's who although they have just arrived here in the World Wrestling Federation, are well known around the world for all they have done in the business of professional wrestling take on the WWF World Tag Team Champions, Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, The British Bulldogs with their manager Bobby Heenan. Let's hear from the champions. We cut to Heenan and The Bulldogs in front of the WWF backdrop. Bobby Heenan: So that's it, the Von Erich's waltz in here and are given a shot at the belts. Old Man Fritz must have greased the palm of Tunney when no one was looking. Well that's fine, but you two Texas hicks had better listen, and you had better listen good. The British Bulldogs are the best tag team in the world. All they care about are these WWF World Tag Team Championships. I know very well that when you were wrestling in those dumps down in Texas for your old man, that the two of you were competing for singles championships. That's the difference here. You are two great wrestlers who are competing as a tag team. These men right here are a phenomenal tag team who are going to destroy two great wrestlers and remain WWF World Tag Team Champions. "Mean" Gene: For the Intercontinental Championship, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, also with Bobby Heenan will challenge Olympic Strongman, Ken Patera for the gold. These two were the finalists in the Battle Royal to crown a new Intercontinental Champion. A match that Patera ended up winning, but Valentine has racked up a series of wins, and contends that Patera couldn't defeat him in a one on one encounter. At Wrestlemania, we will find out. Then of course, we have our Main Event. For the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship. Bob Backlund will defend the title against Bruno Sammartino. As I am sure you will remember, this was originally Backlund vs Graham, but then Backlund shall we say, took liberties, with the son of Bruno Sammartino, causing him to leave the World Wrestling Federation, and Bruno Sammartino was understandably not happy about it. Billy Graham then did something nearly unthinkable and gave up his shot so that Bruno could seek his revenge on Bob Backlund. Since that time we have seen Backlund totally snap and commit assault on former WWF Champion Pedro Morales, and then last week proclaim himself to be a god. Bruno Sammartino meanwhile, has been silent. Well, a little later in this show, that silence will be broken, as I will have a one on one interview with Bruno himself. There you have it Ladies and Gentleman! Twelve huge matches, and we are only seven days away! You absolutely do not want to miss Wrestlemania! It is going to be the biggest show of the year!! For Update, I'm Gene Okerlund. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Let's head down to the ring where The Heenan Family is set for eight man tag team action!! _______________________________________________________________ -Match 4- Greg "The Hammer" Valentine/King Kong Bundy/Davey Boy Smith/The Dynamite Kid defeated Brady Boone/Rick McGraw/The Blue Cyclone/Ricky Ataki in 8:24 when King Kong Bundy pinned Ataki after a Big Splash and a FIIVVVEEE Count! _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Well, I would say the Heenan Family certainly look ready for Wrestlemania. Lord Alfred Hayes: My Word, Yes. Four men were opposing them today and not one of them got in much offense. The British Bulldogs seemed especially angry, throwing men around with extra vigor. Vince McMahon: All four of them have much greater challenges waiting for them in Madison Square Garden at Wrestlemania. We'll see if it's that easy for them then. Lord Alfred Hayes: I somehow doubt it will be. Vince McMahon: We'll be right back with "Mean" Gene and Bruno Sammartino!! -Commercial Break- We return from break to see the elevated platform away from the ring where "Mean" Gene Okerlund is standing with a microphone in his hands. "Mean" Gene: Ladies and Gentleman, please join me in welcoming the man who will challenge Bob Backlund for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Championship next week at Wrestlemania...BRUNO SAMMARTINO!! Bruno comes from the locker room to a massive ovation. He is wearing his famous blue trunks and black boots, and has a towel around his neck. For his age he still looks quite impressive. He comes to stand next to Gene and has a smile on his face. "Mean" Gene: Bruno, it's good to see you with a smile on your face. Bruno Sammartino: You know Gene, when you get a reaction like that, it is hard not to smile. I love these people, and I always will. Another huge round of cheers goes up from the crowd. Bruno Sammartino: But I don't want Bob Backlund to think for even a minute, that me having a smile on my face changes what is going to happen to him at Wrestlemania. Bob Backlund, you attacked my family. I don't care if you're crazy. I don't care if your dangerous. Because at Wrestlemania, you are going to see just how crazy and how dangerous Bruno Sammartino can be! Now Gene, if you'll excuse me, I am going to go to the ring and show Backlund that I am more than just words! Bruno claps Okerlund on the shoulder and then heads toward the ring and his waiting opponent. Okerlund nods his head like he is convinced. "Mean" Gene: You heard it Ladies and Gentleman! Bruno Sammartino is going to Wrestlemania to show Bob Backlund the meaning of crazy and dangerous! You don't want to miss this!! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 5- Bruno Sammartino defeated Frank Williams in 3:15 by submission with a Bear Hug _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Oh Yeah!! He may be a little older, but if Bruno clamps on that Bear Hug, you can forget about it!! Lord Alfred Hayes: Sammartino doesn't appear to have missed a step inside the squared circle. Add that to his laser focus on the Champion, and Bob Backlund may be in for a long night at Wrestlemania! Vince McMahon: He indeed may be. Now Ladies and Gentleman, next week on Superstars we will be recapping all of the events that have led us to Wrestlemania, then next Saturday night LIVE at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and all over the world on Closed Circuit Television will be the biggest show in the history of the WWF....WRESTLEMANIA!! You don't want to miss it!!!! (I am not actually going to write that recap episode of Superstars. Wrestlemania will hopefully be done and up on time next Saturday. My apologies for not commenting on stuff lately. Things have been hectic. In case you missed it, I posted an announcement before my show last week. Thanks Everyone)

I have to admit that I totally popped for the line "I may be called the American Nightmare, but I still believe in the American Dream" Thought this was a really good episode over all, and I am looking forward to Fyter Fest!

This really makes you wonder about that shutdown. I remember there was a huge rumor at the time that it was done because Quack's wife caught him sleeping with Saturyne and pulled the funding for the company. I was also a huge fan of the company, jumping on around 2008 and buying pretty much all of the shows until the shutdown. After that I have kept up, but only made it a point to catch Trios and the Cibernetico shows.

Seriously. From this generation of popular British talent, who's left that hasn't been called out? Pete Dunne, Mark Haskins, Zack Sabre Jr, Mark Andrews, and Flash Morgan Webster?

Vince McMahon: Hello Everyone, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation's Superstars of Wrestling! I'm Vince McMahon and joining me at ringside is His Lordship, Lord Alfred Hayes. This week here on Superstars we will have action featuring Tito Santana! The masked men who last weeked attacked the Scufflin' Hillbillies, The Super Destroyers! and the Eighth Wonder of the World, ANNDREE THE GIANT!! Lord Alfred Hayes: We will also see another edition of The Gentleman's Club. The Intercontinental Champion Ken Patera will be in action, and for the first time since giving his Wrestlemania championship match to Bruno Sammartino, "Superstar" Billy Graham will step into the ring. Vince McMahon: We are certainly loaded with action this week so let's get right to it with ANDRE THE GIANT!! _______________________________________________________________ -Match 1- Andre the Giant beat Barry Hardy/Snake Brown in a Handicap match in 3:54 after a Sit Down Splash on Hardy After the match The Giant Machine appeared in the aisle way and raised his hands in the air. Andre motioned for him to come in the ring, but the masked just wagged a finger at The Giant before heading backstage. _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Andre makes quick work of two men, but we will have to see what he can do with that Giant Machine at Wrestlemania. Lord Alfred Hayes: The masked man obviously had no intention of stepping into the ring today. I think he just made an appearance in an attempt to make the giant angry. Vince McMahon: Not the strategy I would take against a man with the track record of Andre the Giant. Lord Alfred Hayes: Not at all! Vince McMahon: Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be right back with "Superstar" Billy Graham! PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATION PAID FOR BY THE FOLLOWING: Coming on June 21st, the follow up to 1983's critically acclaimed "Shout at the Devil." Motley Crue returns with "Theatre of Pain" featuring the hit single "Smokin' in the Boys Room!" Available at all Sam Goody and Tower Records locations. -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 2- "Superstar" Billy Graham over Barry Horowitz in 4:42 by submission with a Bearhug. _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Oh Yeah! The Superstar may have given up his shot, but he hasn't missed a step in that ring! Lord Alfred Hayes: You have to believe with a gesture such as he made that if Bruno were to win the title, he would certainly give Billy a shot. If Backlund retains the title, he and the Superstar definitely have unfinished business. Vince McMahon: They most certainly do Alfred. Now..what's going on here... As "Superstar" Billy Graham is headed up the aisle, slapping hands and posing for pictures, the curtain parts and Kazaharu along with Jimmy Hart come out into the aisleway. The two of them begin to make their way toward the podium where Gene Okerlund is waiting to interview them, but Jimmy Hart is pointing at Billy Graham and whispering to Kazaharu. Graham takes notice of the two men and further notices Hart pointing at him. He opens his arm as if to say "is there a problem" and Hart motions for Kazaharu to head toward the platform. "Mean" Gene: All right Ladies and Gentleman, as you can see my guest this week are Jimmy Hart and his newest signing, the man known only as Kazaharu. Jimmy Hart: That's right baby! I went all the way to... "Superstar" Billy Graham walks up on to the platform and doesn't look happy. Kazaharu steps in front of Jimmy Hart. "Superstar" Billy Graham: If you got something to say "Mouth of the South", how about you go ahead and say it to "Superstar" Billy Graham's face! "Mean" Gene: Gentleman, I don't want any trouble out here! "Superstar" Billy Graham: Gene, I'm not trying to pick a fight, but when I see this runt pointing and laughing and whispering to Kato here, I gotta know what's so funny Jack! Jimmy Hart: Well "Superstar!" First I told him about the time you put on some black pants and acted like you were some kind of Kung Fu master! Then I told him how stupid you had to be to give up a shot at the World Heavyweight Title!! Hart immediately ducks back behind Kazaharu after he finishes speaking. The Japanese man just stands deadly still staring at Graham. "Superstar" nods his head at Hart and then speaks again. "Superstar" Billy Graham: I'll give it to you daddy, the Kung Fu phase wasn't my proudest moment. But giving Bruno Sammartino the opportunity to fight for his family, well that one I am real proud of. But hey Jimmy Hart, since I gave up my match at Wrestlemania, and your man here doesn't have one. How about I show him what "Superstar" Billy Graham and his kung fu can do! Jimmy Hart: Ha! Ha! You wanna fight Kazaharu at Wrestlemania! Oh, you're on Billy Graham! You're on! "Superstar" Billy Graham: See you there runt! See you there Silent but Violent! Graham backs off the stage and heads for the dressing room as Hart has a big smile on his face. The expression on what we can see of Kazaharu's face has not changed. "Mean" Gene: All right Ladies and Gentleman, you hea... Jimmy Hart: No! No! No! Stop right there "Mean" Gene, we aren't done! You see, although my man "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly isn't here tonight, he wanted me to remind DJ Peterson that come Wrestlemania, he is going to put him to sleep and continue his meteoric rise here in the WWF and leave DJ Peterson nothing but a big old loser! Then I was going to tell you the story of how I came to find this Japanese Assassin standing in front of you. I was going to tell you the origins of the man known as Kazaharu. But since you and Billy Graham want to keep interrupting me, I'm not gonna do that! Your loss. But you know what Gene, we still aren't done! Because right here tonight, I am going to introduce you to the tag team that will lead Jimmy Hart to the World Tag Team Titles. The team who will join Kevin Kelly and Kazaharu as the real Hart Foundation, and the team who last week beat the holy heck out of those stupid hillbillies!! From the back come the two masked men who last week assaulted the Scufflin' Hillbillies. They are dressed again in all black outfits, this time adding long black coats, and are wearing black masks with gold stars on them. The two men come to stand next to Jimmy Hart Jimmy Hart: These men right here are The Super Destroyers, and anyone who gets in their way will be just that, destroyed baby!! As a matter of fact, they have a match right now "Mean" Gene, sit back and watch this! Hart and his men leave the stage and head for ringside. -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 3- The Super Destroyers (#1/#2) w/Jimmy Hart & Kazaharu beat Ricky Ataki/Mario Mancini in 3:51 when Super Destroyer #1 pinned Ataki after the Double Superplex _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: OH MY!! WHAT A MANEUVER!! Lord Alfred Hayes: As I said last week, that Double Superplex is simply one of the most devastating moves I have ever seen. I don't see how anyone could kick out of it. Vince McMahon: I don't know what business these men had attacking the Scufflin' Hillbillies last week, but Jimmy Hart certainly seems to have found himself quite a tag team unit. Lord Alfred Hayes: Jimmy Hart has put together quite a collection of talent under his employee. All of the World Wrestling Federation champions should be wary of anyone in his Hart Foundation. Vince McMahon: Yes they should Alfred. Okay Ladies and Gentleman, let's head over to Update! With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation, this is Update with: "Mean" Gene: Hello Ladies and Gentleman, and welcome to Update! We are just fourteen days away from the biggest event in World Wrestling Federation history. The biggest event in wrestling history! I am of course talking about Wrestlemania. Saturday Night, July the Fourth from Madison Square Garden in New York City. If you can't be there, Wrestlemania will be available at closed circuit locations all across the country. Now we already have seven huge matches announced for Wrestlemania, and this week things are only going to get bigger. But first, let's talk about what we already know. The big one! World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund will defend that championship against Wrestling's Living Legend, coming out of retirement to defend the honor of his family and his profession, Bruno Sammartino. It truly doesn't get any bigger than this as two of the WWF's greatest champions collide for it's greatest prize. We will also see the Olympic Strongman Ken Patera defend the Intercontinental Championship against Greg "The Hammer" Valentine who will be accompanied by his manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. These two men were the final participants in the battle royal to crown a new Intercontinental Champion, and now they will compete in singles competition with the gold on the line. The Eighth Wonder of the World, Andre the Giant. Seven Feet, Four Inches Tall and well over Five Hundred Pounds will meet the mysterious masked man who is reported to be from Japan, who stands nearly as tall as Andre known as The Giant Machine. In a Street Fight, Tito Santana will step into the ring against "Dr. D" David Schultz. This started when Santana eliminated Schultz from the Intercontinental battle royal, and has escalated to a fever pitch. Now with no rules, we will see which man will come away with the victory. In tag team action Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, The Fantastics will take on Haku and Tama, The Islanders with their manager Sunshine. The Islanders viciously assaulted The Fantastics, and with a new attitude and a new manager look to make a name for themselves against one of the most popular teams in WWF history. In a battle of the big men. The Five Hundred plus pound King Kong Bundy along with manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan will step into the ring with the nearly five hundred pount dancing machine known as "The Candyman" Ray Candy. Then in a battle of two muscular youngsters. We will see DJ Peterson step into the ring against "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly who will have manager Jimmy Hart at ringside. These two young men are looking for a step up in the World Wrestling Federation, and a win against the other, is the way to do it. "Mean" Gene takes a moment and wipes his brow before continuing. "Mean" Gene: Now Ladies and Gentleman, as if those seven matches weren't enough! As if Wrestlemania wasn't already the most star studded event happening anywhere in the world on the Fourth of July, we have three more matches for you here today. That's Right! I said Three! First of all, as we heard just a few minutes ago, the challenge was laid out and accepted. "Superstar" Billy Graham will compete at Wrestlemania after all! He will be stepping into the ring with Jimmy Hart's dangerous Japanese martial arts master, Kazaharu! Then, if you'll remember last week, I interviewed Sgt. Slaughter and The Gunslingers of Scott Casey and Johnny Mantell. The three of them laid out a challenge to Fred Blassie's trio of The Iron Sheik and The Red Scare for what is being called a Coward Waves the Flag match. Well I am here to tell you, that challenge has been accepted! Let's here now from Blassie and his men! We cut to "Classy" Freddy Blassie, The Iron Sheik, and The Red Scare of Nikolai Volkoff and Boris Zhukov in front of a WWF backdrop. "Classy" Freddie Blassie: Listen up you Pencil Necked Geeks! You think just because you come out here waving the flag and going rah, rah, rah about America that you're some kind of hero. Well I'm here to tell you different! This man The Iron Sheik was once a bodyguard for the Shah of Iran! These two men have proudly represented The Soviet Union all over the world! You don't here them bragging about it. But when they beat you three losers at Wrestlemania, and you have to wave their flag, you'd better believe they'll be bragging about that! The Iron Sheik: IRAN NUMBER VUN! RUSSIA NUMBER VUN! AMERICA...HOCK..PHTOO!!! "Mean" Gene: That will surely be a war. Folks, we have one more announcement, but first we have to take you to footage from this past Thursday Night at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. The British Bulldogs were scheduled to defend the WWF World Tag Team Titles against The Scufflin' Hillbilles. But after the attack last week by the team we now know as The Super Destroyers, Cousin Luke was unable to compete. So the Bulldogs called out any team that wanted to fight. They got more than they bargained for. Let's go now to the closing moments of that contest! We cut to house show footage and we see Kevin Von Erich catch Dynamite Kid square in the chest with a dropkick that sends him flying out of the ring. Davey Boy Smith enters the ring and attempts to attack Kevin from behind, but Kerry is faster and batters Davey Boy with rights and lefts that stagger him. Then Kerry spins into a perfect Discus Punch that hits with such force that Davey Boy sails clear over the top rope to the floor. The Von Erichs celebrate in the ring, as Bobby Heenan quickly gathers up both British Bulldogs and the three of them take a walk to the dressing room, losing the match by Count Out. "Mean" Gene: Kevin and Kerry Von Erich accepted the challenge of The British Bulldogs and were taking it to the WWF Tag Team Champions nearly from the opening bell. As you saw there, Bobby Heenan had seen enough and the Bulldogs walked away for the count out to save the titles. Well, unfortunately for Bobby Heenan, World Wrestling Federation President Jack Tunney saw enough and has signed a match for Wrestlemania that will see The British Bulldogs defend the WWF World Tag Team Titles against Kerry and Kevin Von Erich! Let's hear from both teams! We cut to The Von Erich's standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Kerry Von Erich: British Bulldogs, the other night my brother and I had you beat. If you hadn't been a couple of chickens, we'd be the Tag Team Champions right now. So at Wrestlemania, there won't be any running, and the Von Erich's will win the gold. Kevin Von Erich: That's right Kerry. Dynamite Kid, Davey Smith, Bobby Heenan, all you did the other night in Pittsburgh is prove that you are yellow, and that you are afraid of the Von Erich's. So come Wrestlemania when we get you back in that ring, we aren't going to let you run away. We are going to give you a good old fashioned butt whipping, and walk away WWF Tag Team Champions. We cut to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan standing alongside The British Bulldogs who are both holding the WWF Tag Team Titles. Bobby Heenan: It's bad enough that we are forced to go to towns like Pittsburgh in the first place. Then on top of that we are scheduled to wrestle those stupid, stinking Hillbillies. So we were already in a bad mood when we find out that Cousin Elmer or whatever his name is can't wrestle, so we decide that in order for the boys to blow off a little steam, we'd ask for a replacement team. You know, a couple of ham 'n' eggers to slap around so we can get paid and go home. We never agreed to wrestle any Von Erich's. We never agreed to defend the Titles against anyone but the Hillbillies. Then they started double teaming, which is clearly against the rules, so we decided that we were leaving. Now you are telling me that we have to defend the belts against these two Texas Twits? I have laundry in my bag that's spent more time in this company than these guys! But you know what, fine. Von Erich's, the other night we didn't know you were coming. This time we do. So at Wrestlemania, my British Bulldogs are going to rip you to pieces and send you back home to Daddy in little pieces. Davey Boy and Dynamite both smirk at the screen as a big smile crosses the face of Bobby Heenan. "Mean" Gene: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman! Ten big matches signed so far. All of the World Wrestling Federation Championships will be on the line! Wrestlemania is shaping up to be the greatest wrestling show of all time, and you do not want to miss it! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ During the match a picture in picture interview with Tito Santana played. Tito Santana: David Schultz! You can keep running your mouth, and saying all of those ignorant things, but you are only fueling the fire! At Wrestlemania, when anything goes, you are going to see a side of Tito Santana that no one has seen before! ARRIBA!! -Match 4- Tito Santana beat The Bounty Hunter in 4:29 by submission with the Figure Four Leglock _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Tell us about it Alfred! Lord Alfred Hayes: Santana worked over the leg of the masked man for the majority of the match. At the end, The Bounty Hunter went to kick Santana in the stomach but Tito caught his leg, dropped an elbow right onto the thigh, then tripped him and locked in that Figure Four. I'm not sure the masked man could have submitted much faster! Vince McMahon: Ha! Ha! Ha! I'm sure he'll be looking to do something similar to "Dr. D" at Wrestlemania. Lord Alfred Hayes: From the sound of it, technical wrestling may be the last thing on his mind. We may see a good old fashioned donnybrook! Vince McMahon: You know Alfred. We just might! All right Ladies and Gentleman, let's go now to the... oh no....let's go to The Gentleman's Club. We cut to the set of "The Gentleman's Club" and as before it is decorated to look like the parlor of an old timey mansion. The table is back to it's smaller size and the pitcher of Iced Tea is sitting the middle. At the table sits "The Southern Gentleman" Robert Fuller dressed in his finest white suit and matching cowboy hat. Behind him in black suit and sunglasses is his bodyguard Fidel. Fuller puts on his biggest, fakest grin when the camera pans in on him. Robert Fuller: Wellll, helllo there and welcome back to the Gentleman's Club!! As always I am "The Southern Gentleman" Robert Fuller, and this mean looking son of a gun behind me is my personal security, Fidel. Fidel say hello to all the nice folk who are tuning in from television land! Fidel reaches up and pulls his sunglasses down to the end of his nose, then nods at the camera before pushing them back up. Fuller lets loose with an exaggerated laugh and then continues. Robert Fuller: Oh My, that boy is a comedian. Truly, I don't know where he comes up with that stuff! You are in the wrong business Fidel! Anyway, anyway, before I think about that and get to laughing again. This week we have a very special guest. A man who I am told just returned to the World Wrestling Federation. They call him..."The Black Superman?" Well that's interesting. Anyhow, Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome Tony Atlas to the Gentleman's Club! After a few moments, Tony Atlas walks onto the set wearing blue jeans and a Superman t-shirt with the sleeves cut off of it. The look on Fuller's face when Atlas enters is a mixture of disbelief and disdain, though he quickly replaces it with a big fake smile. Robert Fuller: Please! Please! Sit down! Sit down! Tony Atlas: Thanks. I think. Robert Fuller: My goodness, with a body like that who needs to think! Look at those arms! Atlas gives Fuller a "what's wrong with you" look, but speaks anyway. Tony Atlas: Uhh yeah, Thanks. Physical fitness is very important to me. Robert Fuller: I'd say! You must spend all day in the field....I mean in the gym to get arms like that! Tony Atlas: What did you say? Robert Fuller: Huh, oh nothing, I just misspoke. You'll have to forgive me. I am just astounded at the size of those cotten pickin' arms! Tony Atlas: Excuse Me? Robert Fuller: Your arms boy! I can't get over your arms. You deaf, or just stupid? Atlas lunges out of his chair and takes hold of Fuller by the lapels of his suit. A shocked Fuller jerks backwards, losing his hat, and nearly upsetting the table. Tony Atlas: If you think for a minute I'm gonna let you talk down to me you racist cra... Before Tony can finish his thought, Fidel brings the pitcher of Iced Tea crashing down on the head of Atlas, sending liquid and glass flying everywhere. Fidel follows it up by flipping the table over and kicking Atlas, who is clutching his face, directly in the head. As Atlas falls to the ground, Fidel and Fuller make a quick exit from The Gentleman's Club. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back to Superstars of Wrestling. First and apparently as always, we would like to apologize for the words of one Robert Fuller. Secondly, Tony Atlas is being checked over by medical officials, but does appear to be okay. Lord Alfred Hayes: They are of course worried about the potential for fragments of glass to have gotten in his eye, so they are conducting a thorough examination. But Atlas was a very angry man when he was being helped to the locker room. Vince McMahon: I certainly would not want to be "The Southern Gentleman" when Tony Atlas comes looking for him. Lord Alfred Hayes: Nor would I. That is a big strong man to have angry at you! Vince McMahon: Speaking of big strong men, let's head to the ring for our featured match with the WWF Intercontinental Champion, Ken Patera! _______________________________________________________________ -Match 5- Ken Patera defeated Bob Bradley in 3:47 by submission with a Full Nelson. _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Ken Patera appears to be ready to take on anyone for that Intercontinental Title. Lord Alfred Hayes: He had better be. Greg Valentine is a second generation wrestler who knows all of the ways to injure someone. He will use everything in his arsenal to take that Championship. Vince McMahon: Alright Ladies and Gentleman. I have been informed that we have received two pieces of footage that we are going to play to end this weeks show. Please be sure to join us next week when we will have The Giant Machine in action. The Von Erich's in tag team action, and an Eight Man Tag Team contest featuring the whole Heenan Family. See You Next Week! The first piece of footage opens and Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now" begins to play as we are shown a montage of Bruno Sammartino training. First we see Bruno running, multiple shots, all over Pittsburgh, sweat pouring off his face, people waving to him, etc. Then we are shown footage of him doing push ups, pull ups, jumping jacks, and various other exercises. Then we are taken to footage of a wrestling ring set up in what appears to be an old run down building. There we are shown various shots of Bruno dressed only in shorts and boots, in the ring with multiple different training partners, performing drills, taking moves, and dishing moves out. The video closes with Bruno staring into the camera and the words "The Silence is Broken Next Week" appear at the bottom of the screen. The second piece of footage opens to show Bob Backlund dressed in a three piece suit having what appears to be a steak dinner at a fancy restaurant. The WWF World Heavyweight Title is on the table as well as his dinner. Backlund puts down his fork and knife and looks into the camera, speaking softly. Bob Backlund: Last week I was forced to make an example of one Pedro Morales. Firstly because he had done nothing since his return to the World Wrestling Federation to deserve the honor of stepping into the ring with the Heavyweight Champion of the World. He had done nothing to facilitate any consideration for him receiving that chance, yet he had the audacity to challenge me anyway. Thusly I had no choice but to teach him a lesson. Secondly, it was important that I let the powers that be here in the World Wrestling Federation understand that while I am a man who respects authority, I am also a man who will stand up for himself when he feels that he is being treated unjustly and unfairly. That I am a man who will not stand idly by and allow himself to be walked on and used by those who apparently do not appreciate the sacrifices that I have made for them. For weeks now I have been preparing to defend my WWF Championship against William Graham at Wrestlemania. All of my training, all of my mental preparation, all of my focus has been on nothing but William Graham. Then on a whim, William Graham develops a conscious for the first time in his career and begs Jack Tunney to allow him to just give his championship opportunity to one Bruno Sammartino. Bruno Sammartino has not competed in almost four years. Bruno Sammartino has not participated in a single professional wrestling match since 1981. Bruno Sammartino is not a ranked competitor, and has not won any matches that would make him a contender for this title, and yet William Graham wants to just hand him a shot at my belt. Then as if all of this ignorance weren't enough, World Wrestling Federation President Jack Tunney, an apparent elected official, although I certainly did not vote for him, then without consulting myself or any member of the WWF board, immediately capitulates to the desires of Graham, and declares that match official. Declares that at Wrestlemania, I will now have to defend my WWF Title against Bruno Sammartino. Backlund looks down at the half eaten food on his plate, and is obviously beginning to seethe. He continues to speak without looking up. Bruno Sammartino, when I demolished your son on national television and sent him out of the WWF with his tail tucked between his legs, that was your fault. Back at the Saturday Night's Main Event, you interjected yourself into my business, and because of that, I had to show you the pecking order around here. Yes Bruno Sammartino in your time, you were great. But now I am the Heavyweight Champion of the World, and you are a commentator. You had no business being in the ring that night, your son had no business being in the ring any night, and if you get in the ring at Wrestlemania, what happens to your son will look like child's play compared to what happens to you.... Backlund strikes out with his arm and sends the plate and silverware flying off of the table. He raises his head and his eyes are wild, and a sadistic smile is etched on his face. Bruno Sammartino, in your time, you were great. But in this time...I AM GODDDDD!!!!! YOUR SON LEFT THE ARENA IN AN AMBULANCE!! BUT IF YOU DARE STEP IN MY RING AT WRESTLEMANIA.....YOU WILL LEAVE IN A BOX......IN A BOXXX!!!! Backlund reaches over and pulls the WWF Title off of the table. He brings it up next to his face and appears to be staring at his reflection. The look of insanity on his face growing ever crazier.

Before I post today's episode of Superstars, I need to make an announcement. Wrestlemania on July 4th is going to be my last show. I've been pondering this decision for a few weeks, and the more I think about it, the more I feel like it is something I need to do. When I got back into this I chose WWF because I thought I could do it without putting the significant amounts of time into it that I was giving World Class. Yet, I still find myself working on these shows several nights a week to get them to a point where I feel comfortable posting them. Not long ago my wife said to me "I thought this was supposed to take up less of your free time this time around" and that's when I really knew it was time to step away. I've recently had several health scares with my parents who live behind me and I am having to devote more of my time to helping them. I've had to go back into the office after working at home for quite a while during this pandemic which is again adding more time to my day, and the truth is I am already neglecting things I want to be doing and other hobbies I've paid money for to write these shows. With all that's going in the world, and personally, most evenings I just want to come home, eat some dinner, play some video games, and go to bed! So please know, I have enjoyed creating with all of you. I've had fun writing these characters, and the world we have made here is a pretty cool one. I hope you enjoy my last three shows.

Looks like Riddle's debut has been pulled from Smackdown

and Mark Jindrak reappears from obscurity to drop straight fire.....

Fury Road makes another good point. While it was a Mad Max film, it can certainly be argued that Furiosa and the brides were more the stars of the movie than Max. Films starring bad ass women certainly seem to be gaining traction in Hollywood and recently we've had the rise of the women in the WWE, and Becky Lynch becoming arguably the top star of the company for a period of time.

I don't necessarily think the action hero concept is now dated or dead, I just think people wanted an evolution of it. It seems like anymore when they attempt to bring back one of the old franchises, it dies a miserable death. Terminator, Rambo, Predator, Alien, etc. But then you look at something like John Wick, and those movies are doing huge business every time they put a new one out. I think the difference is that Wick was never expected to become the monster hit that it became. I barely remember seeing a commercial for the first one until a week or two before it was released. Word of mouth made the movie. Peoples desire for something different made the movie. Hell, they advertised that new Terminator flick for 6 months (and while it was very good) it bombed miserably. People are sick of the same old shit. The wrestling parallel is definitely there, and we've been seeing it for years. The 80's muscle hero is dead. The guy who you are told is superman, the guy who can beat everyone and barely gets a scratch.....the people don't want that anymore. Hulkamania would die today. It's why Cena was boo'ed and it's why Reigns was never accepted. Then you have Wick, who looks like a guy you might see working at Chipotle. But he has all these skills that make him a bad ass. He's Daniel Bryan, he's CM Punk. I feel like when people try to get lost in the fantasy it is much easier for them to picture themselves as a John Wick or Daniel Bryan than jacked up Arnold or Stallone or Hulk Hogan.

The people who I have seen actual damning stories on are: David Starr, Jordan Devlin, Matt Riddle, Joey Ryan, the Crist Brothers, Travis Banks, Wolfgang, and Jack Gallagher. There is a story about Jimmy Havoc being a douchebag, but it's nothing sexual. There is a tidbit about Tyler Bate asking a married woman back to his room, but that is the extent of the story. Will Ospreay, Joe Coffey, Ligero, Mikey Whiplash and Alexander Dean are all listed, but I have not personally read anything about them. Marty Scurll is said to enjoy partying with underage girls, but that is literally all that is said. Super vague, and no actual stories that I have seen.

The only story I have seen about Havoc is that he punched a fan in the face at a bar, and when the fan told the promotion about it, they said he was probably just drunk and playing his character. So while it makes Havoc look like a sloppy drunk dickhead, it reflects far worse on the promotion IMO. Saw a story about Wolfgang taking pictures of little girls outside of a school. and the Matt Riddle story that is now out there is really ugly..... It will be very interesting to see what WWE does with all of this.

It certainly seems as if sorting out what is true and what is fiction is going to be the real issue with all of this. Joey Ryan's name is on that list, but literally nothing seems to have been posted about Joey Ryan, other than his name being on the list. Meanwhile, a young lady posted pictures of herself covered in bruises and told the story of what Jordan Devlin did to her. The David Starr stuff seems pretty cut and dry, and it looks like at least two other people have come out to back up the Cornette story. I've also seen several posts about whichever of the Crist brothers runs the training school in Ohio sending out dick pics and generally being a creeper. Which doesn't surprise me at all based on my limited interaction working shows with them.

I see what you did there....Sneaky, Sneaky....

WWF drops Pedro Morales to get back to the Roster Cap

Is this available on YouTube or anything? Sounds like one of those curiosities I'd enjoy.

Airing in Syndication all across the United States of America from the Allentown Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania the World Wrestling Federation presents: A funky bass rhythm mixed with a synthesizer beat begins as clips of all the World Wrestling Federation stars such as Andre the Giant, The Fantastics, King Kong Bundy, Sgt. Slaughter, The British Bulldogs, Greg Valentine and Tito Santana in action plays. It ends with Bob Backlund holding aloft the WWF World Heavyweight title and then cuts to the logo..... Vince McMahon: Hello Everyone, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation's Superstars of Wrestling! I'm Vince McMahon and joining me at ringside is His Lordship, Lord Alfred Hayes. Ladies and Gentleman, we are just three weeks away from the biggest extravaganza in the history of professional wrestling, WRESTLEMANIA!! and as we heard last week "Superstar" Billy Graham has stepped aside so that our broadcast partner here on Superstars, Bruno Sammartino can look for some retribution against the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion, Bob Backlund. Lord Alfred Hayes: Backlund's mental state has become increasingly more erratic over the past several months, and the attack on Bruno's son David was violent and disturbing. We will have Bob Backlund here today to accept the challenge of Pedro Morales in a non-title contest. You have to wonder how Backlund has reacted to the news of Sammartino being his opponent, and how he will be inside that ring today. Vince McMahon: You never know exactly what you are going to get when it comes to Bob Backlund. The match between Backlund and Morales will be out featured contest here today. We will also see Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, The Fantastics in action! "The Black Superman" Tony Atlas will make his return to the World Wrestling Federation, and we have several matches on stand-by should the Backlund/Morales match not go to it's allotted time limit. Let's head down to the ring and "The Fink!" _______________________________________________________________ -Match 1- "The Black Superman" Tony Atlas beat Tom Stone in 3:41 with a Military Press Slam _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: OH MY!! Look at the strength of Tony Atlas!! Lord Alfred Hayes: He tossed Stone around like he weighed virtually nothing at all. With power like that, everyone had best be on alert for Tony Atlas. Vince McMahon: You can say that again Alfred! We'll be right back with The Fantastics!! PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATION PAID FOR BY THE FOLLOWING: A lone warrior searching for his destiny. A tribe of children searching for a hero. In a world where they must battle to survive, they face a woman determined to rule. Hold on for Mad Max in his greatest adventure.....Mel Gibson.......MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME.....July 10th -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ During the match we got a picture in picture interview with The Fantastics standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Tommy Rogers: Sunshine, we heard you out here talking for them Islanders, saying they beat us up because they were mad we got shots at the belts. Maybe we got them shots because we're a better team. Bobby Fulton: Islanders! Them Bulldogs never could beat us fair and square, and you boys had to jump us from behind to take us down. So come Wrestlemania we are going to boogie all over your butts, then we are gonna go back after them belts and take what belongs to us! -Match 2- The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton/Tommy Rogers) over The Bounty Hunters (1/2) in 5:19 when Fulton pinned 2 after the Rocket Launcher _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: All Right! The Fantastics pick up the win! Tell us about it Alfred! Lord Alfred Hayes: Tommy Rogers sends the Bounty Hunter into the ropes and catches him with a beautiful dropkick that sends him down hard to the canvas. Rogers then tags in Fulton who ascends to the top rope, then Rogers helps to propel him across the ring where Fulton crashes on top of the masked man for the one, two, three. Vince McMahon: A big win for The Fantastics, and before we get to our featured contest, let's head over to "Mean" Gene and Update! With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation, this is Update with: "Mean" Gene: Hello Ladies and Gentleman, and welcome to Update! We are just weeks away from the biggest show in World Wrestling Federation history. Saturday Night, July the 4th, live from Madison Square Garden and airing on Closed Circuit Television all across the United States of America, it's Wrestlemania! As we all heard last week, the main event has changed. Originally "Superstar" Billy Graham was set to challenge Bob Backlund for the World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Title. But last week here on Superstars of Wrestling, Billy Graham relinquished that opportunity so that the Living Legend Bruno Sammartino could look for a little revenge against the man who attacked his son. So it is set, we will see Bob Backlund defend the WWF Title against Bruno Sammartino in the Main Event of Wrestlemania! I tried all week to get an interview with Bruno Sammartino, but he has gone into seclusion. I've been told by those close to him that he is spending time with his family, and since the announcement has been made that he has begun an intense workout regimen. We hope to speak with him in the near future. Also just added to Wrestlemania will be the battle of the giants! As the masked monster known only as The Giant Machine will do battle with this man.... Andre the Giant! We cut to Andre standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Andre the Giant: Giant Machine! I don't know who you are behind that mask, and I don't care! At Wrestlemania, I will show you and all of these people who the real giant is here in the WWF! "Mean" Gene: When that one is all over, they may need a dump truck to haul the loser out of the ring! Also at Wrestlemania we will see Ken Patera defend the World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship against "The Hammer" Greg Valentine with his manager Bobby Heenan. Haku and Tama, The Islanders with their new manager Sunshine will be in tag team action against Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, The Fantastics! In another battle of the big man, "The Candyman" Ray Candy will take on Heenan Family member, King Kong Bundy! In a Street Fight, Tito Santana will go one on one with "Dr. D" David Schultz! and DJ Peterson will step in the ring with "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly, who is standing by with his manager Jimmy Hart! We cut to Kelly and Jimmy Hart standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Jimmy Hart: "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly is the best all around athlete in the World Wrestling Federation today baby! Just look at him! He's got the body of a Greek god! He can wrestle, and when he gets his hands on you DJ Peterson, he is gonna rip you to pieces!! Kevin Kelly: DJ Peterson! You can talk all you want about sticking my head where the sun don't shine, but when I lock these arms around your neck, all the muscles in the world won't make up for the lack of oxygen going to your tiny little brain. It'll be nighty night for DJ, and another win for The Magnificent One! Jimmy Hart: That's Right Baby! HA! HA! HA! "Mean" Gene: With seven huge matches already signed, Wrestlemania is shaping up to be the biggest show of the year. But my sources tell me that there are several more just waiting for pen to be put to paper. Hopefully we'll have more to announce for you next week. Until then, for Update, I'm Gene Okerlund. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Welcome back to Superstars of Wrestling! It's time now for our featured contest which will see World Wrestling Federation Champion Bob Backlund take on Pedro Morales in a non title match. Lord Alfred Hayes: Backlund has been a dominant force although he has become increasingly unstable. Morales meanwhile has looked quite crisp in the ring since his recent return to the WWF, and his fiery temper can certainly be a match for Backlund's crazy! Vince McMahon: Pedro asked for this match after Backlund's recent actions, and it was granted. As I stated before, the WWF Championship is not on the line. The match will have a time limit of thirty minutes, and we do have several matches on stand by should we need them. _______________________________________________________________ -Match 3- As introductions were given for the match, Pedro Morales looked cool, calm, and collected as he stood in his corner. When his name was called, he raised his arms and looked determined. Backlund meanwhile paced back and forth and had a crazed look in his eyes. When the referee came to take the championship belt from him, he nearly had to tear it from Backlund's grip. When the bell rang, both men met in the center of the ring and Backlund immediately kicked Morales in the groin drawing the immediate disqualification. With a roar, Backlund turned and leveled the referee with a clothesline, then stormed over and reached out of the ring to retrieve the WWF Title from the timekeepers table. Backlund paced around the ring until Morales gingerly got to his feet, and then Backlund charged and smashed Morales in the face with the belt. Pedro crashed to the mat, and Backlund stared at his fallen opponent with a lunatic smile on his face. After several long moments, Backlund dropped the belt and grabbed the fallen Morales by the head and arm, yanking him back to his feet. Backlund held him in a standing position long enough for everyone to see the blood running down the face of the former Triple Crown Champion where the belt had torn the flesh of his face open, and then locked him in the Cross Face Chicken Wing. Backlund hooked his legs around the torso of Morales and dropped to the mat, and began repeatedly jerking and wrenching the neck and arm of Morales with as much force as he could muster. The whole time screaming "THIS WILL BE YOU BRUNO!!" over and over again. Finally a herd of referees and officials hit the ring and it still took them more than a minute to pry Backlund off of Morales, and when they did, he acted like he would attack them as well, but instead picked up the WWF Title and rolled out of the ring. From the floor he surveyed the carnage in the ring with a giant smile plastered on his face, his eyes opened wide, and his head slowly nodding. Pedro Morales defeated Bob Backlund by Disqualification in 0:09 _______________________________________________________________ -Commercial Break- As Superstars returns from commercial, Pedro Morales has a bandage wrapped around his head and has been put in a neck brace. He is being moved from the ring and onto a stretcher. Vince McMahon: Ladies and Gentleman, EMT's are continuing to work on Pedro Morales. We are going to take another break and will return momentarily. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Uhh, welcomes back everyone to Superstars of Wrestling. Pedro Morales has been taken to an ambulance and is en route to a local medical facility. We don't know the extent of the injuries he suffered, but we will do our best to get that information to you when we have it. Lord Alfred Hayes: Bob Backlund has been unhinged previously, but what we saw today appeared to be him taking pure joy in injuring an opponent. This is certainly not the man we have known over the years. Vince McMahon: No, it certainly isn't. We are going to attempt to move on now. We have a tag team match, and hopefully we can lighten the mood a bit with the Scufflin' Hillbillies. _______________________________________________________________ -Match 4- The Scufflin' Hillbillies (Hillbilly Jim/Cousin Luke) over Barry Hardy/Brian Costello in 4:08 when Hillbilly Jim pinned Hardy after a Big Boot _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: ALL RIGHT! That's more like it! The Scufflin' Hillbillies pick up a win, and now we are having a little square danc...WHAT THE!! As Hillbilly Jim and Cousin Luke are square dancing in the ring, two men wearing black singlets and black masks with gold stars on them hit the ring and jump the Hillbillies from behind. Each man is clubbed in the back of the head with a forearm strike, and then the two men quickly focus on Hillbilly Jim. One of them hitting him with a bicycle kick to the chest that sends him into the ropes, and the other following it with a big clothesline that sends Jim over the top and to the floor. They then focus on the smaller Luke, each clubbing him with several blows, before whipping him hard across the ring into the turnbuckle. The two men follow him in, hoist him onto the top turnbuckle, and then both climb up and join him. What follows is spectacular, as they hit a Double Superplex and Cousin Luke is sent half way across the ring. The two masked men then roll out of the ring and head back away from ringside. Vince McMahon: WHO WERE THOSE MEN!! Lord Alfred Hayes: I don't have any idea, but that Double Superplex may be the most devastating move I have seen in all my years in wrestling. Vince McMahon: We need to get some help out here for the Scufflin' Hillbillies!! -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome back to what is turning out to be a very interesting week on Superstars of Wrestling. Earlier we saw both Tony Atlas and The Fantastics pick up some nice wins. But since then we've seen Bob Backlund get himself intentionally disqualified and then brutalize Pedro Morales who has been taken to a local medical facility to be evaluated for his injuries. Then we just saw The Scufflin' Hillbillies pick up a win, only to be assaulted by two unknown men in masks. We are being told that Cousin Luke was a little shaken up, but should be okay, and that Hillbilly Jim is just fighting mad! Lord Alfred Hayes: Well since we don't have the slightest clue who attacked them, he'll have to hold onto that anger until he knows who to fight! Vince McMahon: Indeed he will Alfred. Okay Ladies and Gentleman, up next we have a debut here in the World Wrestling Federation. We don't know much about this man, other than that he is from Japan, and apparently he is being managed by one Jimmy Hart. So let's go to the ring for Kazaharu. _______________________________________________________________ A haunting, instrumental, Oriental sounding music filled the arena, and Jimmy Hart came from behind the curtain first with a big smile on his face. Following him out was a man wearing black karate style pants with white kanji markings down both legs, a traditional black gi with a red circle on the back with the name Kazaharu printed in the middle, and black tabi boots. An ornate mask of an Oni with a red face, black horns, and white hair covered his head as he walked to the ring. Once he entered, Hart helped him remove the mask to reveal long black hair and a face covered with the traditional red, white, and black kabuki style face paint. He also removed the gi, revealing that his fingers, hands, wrist, and forearms were all taped. -Match 5- Kazaharu w/Jimmy Hart defeated "Quickdraw" Rick McGraw in 2:58 with the Japanese Sleeper _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: My goodness, Kazaharu puts away "Quickdraw" McGraw with ease. Walk us through it Alfred. Lord Alfred Hayes: Early in the match we saw this Kazaharu digging his fingers into the muscles of McGraw's shoulder. Then just before applying the hold that ended the match he hit a beautiful thrust kick that landed in the area of the neck and shoulder. But this maneuver he used, this Japanese Sleeper, it controls both the neck and the arm and cuts off the blood supply to the brain much faster than a regular sleeper hold. A very dangerous move, and a very dangerous man. Vince McMahon: Jimmy Hart has to be very happy with this acquisition. Lord Alfred Hayes: Most assuredly! Vince McMahon: Alright Ladies and Gentleman, we will be right back with "Mean" Gene Okerlund and a very special interview. Don't go anywhere!! -Commercial Break- We return from break to see the elevated platform away from the ring where "Mean" Gene Okerlund is standing with a microphone in his hands. "Mean" Gene: All right Ladies and Gentleman, please join me in welcoming my very special guests Scott Casey and Johnny Mantell, The Gunslingers and Sgt. Slaughter! The crowd erupts as the trio of fan favorites emerges from the locker room and heads to the stage. The Gunslingers slapping hands the whole way, and Slaughter saluting and shaking hands. "Mean" Gene: Gentleman, last week here on Superstars of Wrestling the three of you came together when The Iron Sheik and The Red Scare attempted a three on one assault of you Sgt. Slaughter. You all asked to come out here and speak this week, so the stage is all yours. Johnny Mantell: You know "Mean" Gene, Scott and I've been tussling with these two Russians for a little while now and ain't nothing been settled. Back at Saturday Night's Main Event we had them beat, so they cheated and run away like the couple of red commie cowards they are. Scott Casey: That's right Johnny. That night they cracked me in the head with Blassie's cane, and ever since they've been running the whooping that the Gunslinger owe them. Then last week we saw them out here with the Sheik trying to gang up on a Real American Hero like the Sarge here, and we said Un Uh! No way boys, that ain't happening on our watch. Sgt. Slaughter: Iron Sheik! Volkoff! Zukhov! You bunch of maggots! This is the United States of America. The three of you and that turncoat manager of yours may think you can do as you please, but last week you learned a lesson. You learned that when you attack one American, you are attacking all Americans! That's why these men, The Gunslingers came to my aid. Because they don't like hearing that crap you come out here spewing any more than I do! So I want you pukes to listen, and I want you to listen good. The three of us are laying down a challenge to the three of you. At Wrestlemania, we are challenging you to a match. But not just any match, Oh No. We are challenging you to a Coward Waves the Flag Match! What that means is that Sheik you bring your Iranian flag, and Red Scare you bring your Russian flag, and if one of you three pins one of us, whoever you pin will stand in the center of the ring and wave the flag of the man who pinned us. But you had better believe that the three of us will be carrying the Stars and Stripes, the Red, White, and Blue, Old Glory Herself into that ring, and when one of us pins one of you, you WILL stand in the center of the ring and you WILL wave the flag of the United States of America while we stand and salute her. The crowd is going crazy at this prospect. "Mean" Gene: There you have it Ladies and Gentleman, the challenge has been laid out. Sgt. Slaughter and The Gunslingers against The Iron Sheik and The Red Scare in a Coward Waves the Flag Match at Wrestlemania! Superstars of Wrestling goes off the air as The Gunslingers drop off the stage and start high fiving the fans and Slaughter smirks at Okerlund and tells him he is dismissed.

As I said earlier in this thread, that is a stupid bump to take in a nothing match on a nothing show. It's a stupid bump to take period, but if you are gonna do that kinda shit, save it for a feud that actually has some heat and do it in front of people paying to see it for fuck's sake.

Nick Bockwinkel showing back up is certainly going to shake things up in the AWA, and I am looking very forward to him using big words to confuse Nikita if nothing else! Absolutely loving Landel as usual, and now that he and Percy have the One Man Gang backing them up, he can be even cockier than usual. Nice to see him invoke the cage match rule. I feel that it gets overlooked far too often. Cousin Junior (you'll be getting a cease and desist from Vince and I's lawyers BTW) has a nice little debut, but then runs afoul of The Movement. This was a great segment. I could almost hear the crowd booing from my computer screen. Loving Koko and Brickhouse as the "were not playing" guys to go against them. I have a feeling The Movement is just getting started here in the AWA, and I am very excited to see what you do with them. Good little win for the tag champs on TV, and it will be interesting to see who is next for them. Great Flair promo. I always enjoyed the rare Flair promo where he wasn't all "Nature Boy" and pulled out the serious "I'm gonna fucking kill you" version of Flair. You did it well. Hmmmm..... Olympia heel turn? That'd be odd.... YES! CHICKY STARR SHOULD BEAT MARTEL!!! Shit Piper, Olympia, and Martel against Madril, Chicky, and TNT...... I am down for that! I look forward to seeing your take on the Sheepherders. I feel like they've really never been used much in this game, and I think in the right atmosphere, they could definitely be worth a damn. Great Savage promo. Be very interested to see where he ends up in the mix. Ahhh Yeah, my boy Tricky Nick picks up the win over Uncle Ivan with some good old fashioned wrestling!! Then Nikita takes his head off with the Sickle. Love me some Bockwinkel, but I am not feeling good about his chances. Looking forward to the show in Winnipeg!

That was a stupid bump to take in a nothing match on a nothing show.

Jesus Christ, I can't wait until WWE gets out of their shitty nu-metal phase. This "band" is fucking awful.

Airing in Syndication all across the United States of America from the Allentown Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Pennsylvania the World Wrestling Federation presents: A funky bass rhythm mixed with a synthesizer beat begins as clips of all the World Wrestling Federation stars such as Andre the Giant, The Fantastics, King Kong Bundy, Sgt. Slaughter, The British Bulldogs, Greg Valentine and Tito Santana in action plays. It ends with Bob Backlund holding aloft the WWF World Heavyweight title and then cuts to the logo..... Vince McMahon: Hello Everyone, and welcome to the World Wrestling Federation's Superstars of Wrestling! I'm Vince McMahon and joining me at ringside is His Lordship, Lord Alfred Hayes. We have a lot of action in store for you today as we will see Sgt. Slaughter in action!! Then from there, The Red Scare with "Classy" Freddie Blassie will be in tag team competition. Lord Alfred Hayes: Scott Casey and Johnny Mantell, The Gunslingers will also be competing in tag team competition here this week, and the very impressive young man, DJ Peterson will look to continue his winning streak when he steps into the ring. Vince McMahon: But up first Ladies and Gentleman, we have the World Wrestling Federation debuts of two of the biggest and brightest stars to ever come out of the state of Texas. Some of you may already know them, but if you don't, get ready for some exciting action, because Kevin and Kerry, The Von Erich's are in the WWF! _______________________________________________________________ As the boys are making their entrance, we cut to a picture in picture interview with Kevin and Kerry standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Kevin Von Erich: For those of you who don't know, my name is Kevin Von Erich, and this is my brother Kerry. Our family has been in the professional wrestling business for a lot of years, and we've been doing this since we were little kids. But now we've come here to the WWF to test all of our skills against the best competition in the world. Kerry Von Erich: British Bulldogs! Islanders! It doesn't matter who you are. Any tag team that steps into the ring with my brother and I is going to find out that the Von Erich's are the best in the world. -Match 1- The Von Erich's (Kerry Von Erich/Kevin Von Erich) beat Bob Bradley/Steve Lombardi in 5:11 when Kevin pinned Bradley after the Von Erich Leap _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: ALL RIGHT! The Von Erich's pick up a big win! Let's watch the replay. Lord Alfred Hayes: All four men are momentarily in the ring, and Kerry Von Erich hits an amazing spinning punch that sends Steve Lombardi sailing out of the ring. Bob Bradley charges at Kevin but gets taken down with a dropkick. Then Kevin goes to the top rope and hits a breath taking cross body block where he completes a full turn in mid air. I've never seen anything like it. Vince McMahon: You have to believe that everyone in the tag team division just got put on high alert with the arrival of The Von Erich's. Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be right back with DJ Peterson in action! PROMOTIONAL CONSIDERATION PAID FOR BY THE FOLLOWING: All You Can Eat Salad? Yep! All You Can Eat Pizza? Yep! All You Can Eat Dessert? Yep! When you want pizza from out, it's gotta be Pizza Inn! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ During the match we cut to a picture in picture interview with DJ Peterson standing in front of a WWF backdrop. DJ Peterson: Hey Kevin Kelly, I heard you and your little pipsqueak manager out here running your mouths last week. If it's a fight you're looking for Kevin, I'm not a hard guy to find. How about you and me go one on one at Wrestlemania! Maybe I can shove Jimmy's magnificent head up your magnificent butt! -Match 2- DJ Peterson over Rusty Brooks in 3:39 with a Shoulder Block from the Second Rope _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: DJ Peterson picks up another victory with that huge shoulder block from the ropes. "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly had better be on the look out for that one. Lord Alfred Hayes: Not only that, but he'd best be wary of Jimmy Hart's head coming to close to his behind when DJ is around. Vince McMahon: HA! HA! HA! -Commercial Break- As Superstars returns from commercial, we are taken to the set of "The Gentleman's Club." As before it is decorated to look like the parlor of a mansion, and there is a table with a pitcher of Iced Tea and several glasses sitting in the middle of it. However, the table is slightly larger than before, this time with six chairs around it. At the far end sits "The Southern Gentleman" Robert Fuller dressed in his finest white suit and matching cowboy hat. Behind him in black suit and sunglasses is his bodyguard Fidel. Fuller puts on a phony shocked expression when the camera focuses in on him. Robert Fuller: Wellll, helllo there! Welcome back to my Gentleman's Club! For anyone who hasn't been paying attention, and shame on you! My name is Robert Fuller, and they call me "The Southern Gentleman." The fierce looking fellow standing behind me is my own personal security, which I of course need to keep undesirables and riff raff from trying to do me harm, and his name is Fidel. Fidel, say hello to all of the wonderful folks out there in Television Land! Fidel just nods at the camera Robert Fuller: I Say, I don't pay the boy for his conversation skills now do I! Ha! No, I don't! Anyhow, anyhow. This week on The Gentleman's Club, we have some very special guests. As a man who came from many generations of greatness here in the wrasslin' business, I know better than most that there is nothing more important than family. So it brings me great pride to introduce my guests this week, Bobby Heenan and the members of his Heenan Family! "The Brain" walks onto the set and immediately looks around at the decor and nods in appreciation. Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid follow him dressed in track suits and carrying the WWF Tag Team Titles on their shoulders. Greg Valentine comes in third wearing a suit, and is followed by King Kong Bundy who is dressed in his singlet. All five of them take the seats around the table. Robert Fuller: Mr. Heenan! Welcome to my Gentleman's Club! It's an honor to have another gentleman such as yourself gracing my humble abode! Bobby Heenan: No, Thank You Mr. Fuller, it's my pleasure to finally be interviewed by someone with class and dignity. Do you have any idea how tired I am of talking to Okerlund! I feel like I need a shower every time I get near him! Robert Fuller: The man certainly does have a peculiar stench about him. But let's not waste our precious time on that imbecile. You have four spectacular athletes that you represent here, and I would like to make sure that all of them get a chance to be heard. Bobby Heenan: Let's start down there at the end. Four Hundred and Fifty Pounds of one of the biggest, baddest men in the whole world in King Kong Bundy, and this dancing idiot "The Candyman" thinks he has a prayer? Think again pal! King Kong Bundy: CANDY! You may be a big man, but you're not King Kong Bundy! I'm the greatest big man that ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring! At Wrestlemania you can do all the stupid dancing you want to do, but when I squash you for the count of FIIIVVVEEE....your dancing days will be over. Fuller fans himself with his cowboy hat and grins before continuing. Robert Fuller: Welll, I certainly wouldn't want to be in Mr. Candy's boots right now. But since I am a Southern Gentleman, I'll tell y'all what. If King Kong down there leaves enough of "The Candyman" that he can still walk, I am sure I can find him some work on the Fuller Plantation! Mr. Heenan, please continue. Bobby Heenan: Sitting next to Mr. Bundy, is a man who like yourself Robert has a family heritage in the wrestling business. He is the man who is going to challenge that musclebound moron Ken Patera for the Intercontinental Title at Wrestlemania. The man they call "The Hammer" Greg Valentine. Greg Valentine: Patera, I hope you are enjoying your time with that title, because when you and I step into the ring at Wrestlemania, you are going to find out that all of those muscles don't mean a thing when I take your leg apart. You keep saying that you are going to beat me with the Full Nelson, but you have to be able to walk to do it. Bobby Heenan: Then last, but most certainly not least, we have the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, Davey Boy Smith and The Dynamite Kid, The British Bulldogs. Robert Fuller: If you'll pardon my interruption Bobby, I obviously understand the British part, but why Bulldogs? Davey Boy Smith: Cause we're mean and bad tempered. Dynamite Kid puts one of the Tag Titles down on the table with a loud thump. Dynamite Kid: and if you try to take what belongs to us, we'll bloody well tear your arm off. Fuller's eyes get a bit wide, and Fidel steps to his side. Heenan cracks a smile, which causes Fuller to crack a smile, and he casually waves Fidel back. Robert Fuller: Thank You for the education gentleman! Bobby Heenan: So if The Fantastics want to get beat up again, or The Gunslingers, or The Islanders, or even these Von Erich's that showed up flapping their gums recently. Come on down to the ring, and my Bulldogs will be happy to show you exactly why they are the champions. Now Robert, if you'll excuse us, we have some family business to attend too. Robert Fuller Welll of course! Thank You so much for coming Gentleman! Y'all are welcome back anytime! Valentine and Bundy leave the set as Heenan shakes hands with "The Southern Gentleman" and The Bulldogs and Fidel eye one another. -Commercial Break- Vince McMahon: Welcome back to Superstars of Wrestling! We'd like to apologize to anyone offended by the comments of Mr. Fuller..or Bobby Heenan...or any members of the Heenan Family. Lord Alfred Hayes: The British Bulldogs certainly appeared ready for a fight there in the Gentleman's Club. Vince McMahon: Well, if they are looking for a fight there are plenty of tag teams who would be happy to give them one. Like The Fantastics, or the Von Erich's, or these men...The Gunslingers! _______________________________________________________________ -Match 3- The Gunslingers (Scott Casey/Johnny Mantell) defeated Duane Gill/Dusty Wolfe in 4:54 when Mantell pinned Wolfe after a Double Bulldog _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Oh Yeah! The Gunslingers pick up another victory! They've been on quite the roll here in the World Wrestling Federation. Lord Alfred Hayes: They certainly have Vince. You would think they must be in consideration for a shot at the Tag Team Titles, but at the same time they also have unfinished business with the Red Scare I'm sure they would like to take care of. Vince McMahon: Well, let's head over to the man who just might know, let's go to Update with "Mean" Gene! With the latest from the World Wrestling Federation, this is Update with: "Mean" Gene: Hello Ladies and Gentleman and Welcome to Update! As you surely know by now, we are just one month away from the biggest event in the history of the World Wrestling Federation. Quite possibly the biggest event in the history of professional wrestling! I am of course talking about Saturday Night, July the Fourth. I am of course talking about Wrestlemania! We already have four huge matches that have been announced for that night. The first is the battle of the behemoths as "The Candyman" Ray Candy steps into the ring against Heenan Family member King Kong Bundy. They will certainly need to reinforce the ring before these two massive athletes collide. Also announced is Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, The Fantastics stepping into the ring against the men now known as Haku and Tama, The Islanders. They are standing by with their manager, Sunshine. We cut to Sunshine dressed in a white summer dress with a black jacket over top of it, standing in front of Haku and Tama who are decked out in matching dark blue island themed attire. They both growl angrily at the camera as she speaks. Sunshine: For months The Fantastics were given shot after shot at the WWF Tag Team Titles and each time they failed to win those belts. Meanwhile my men Haku and Tama were dominating everyone they stepped into the ring against and time and time again they were overlooked for a chance at those titles. That all stops now. Because at Wrestlemania, my Islanders will make a definitive statement when they destroy Bobby Fulton and Tommy Rogers, and the powers that be will have no choice but to give them what they deserve. Both Islanders make louder growls and stick out their tongues as Sunshine smirks. "Mean" Gene: The World Wrestling Federation Intercontinental Championship will be on the line at Wrestlemania when Ken Patera puts the gold on the line against Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. We cut to Ken Patera with the Intercontinental Title slung over his shoulder standing in front of a WWF backdrop. Ken Patera: Valentine! Heenan! The two of you can talk all you want. You can call me a muscle head, you can talk about how you are gonna break my legs. But I've been in this business a long time, and I didn't become the Intercontinental Champion because I'm a fluke. So the two of you had better quit talking and start getting ready, because at Wrestlemania, you are going to find out what happens when you step in the ring with the strongest man in the world! "Mean" Gene: Then in the main event, World Wrestling Federation Champion Bob Backlund will defend that championship against "Superstar" Billy Graham in a match where the title can change hands on a Disqualification or a Count Out. Our World Wrestling Federation cameras tried to get words from Champion Bob Backlund, but most unusually he would not grant them an interview. As for "Superstar" Billy Graham, I will be speaking with him a bit later in the show as he has requested a face to face meeting with World Wrestling Federation President Jack Tunney. Now, this week we have two more big matches to add to this already exciting extravaganza. First up after both men have exchanged words these past few weeks, a match between DJ Peterson and "Magnificent" Kevin Kelly has been signed and will take place at Wrestlemania. Then after the events of last week, a Wrestlemania Street Fight has been signed between Tito Santana, and this man....David Schultz. David Schultz: I don't know who here in the WWF hates you Burrito Santana, but apparently someone does. Cause at Wrasslemania, they've put you in a street fight with the Doctor! That means I can do whatever I want to you boy. If I wanna throw you out on the floor and choke you with a cable, I can. If I wanna hit you over the head with a chair, I can do that too. If I wanna go out in the crowd and grab a fat broad and throw her at you, I will! I can do anything I want to you, and there ain't nothing you can do about it. You know why Santana? Cause you're just a good for nothing punk who doesn't deserve to be in the same ring with Doctor D. But if your lucky, maybe after I finish beating on you, there'll be enough left that you can still go pick some apples or wash some dishes or something. I'm sure you got about a dozen kids to feed. That being said Santana, and since the Doctor is a fair man. I'll give you one chance, one opportunity if you will. Anytime between now and Wrasslemania, you come out here on TV and tell all of these people that you're scared of the Doctor. That you're scared of what the Doctor is going to do to you in a street fight. You tell them that, and then you quit the WWF and you have my word. You have the Doctor's Word! That I will give you a job mowing my lawn every week. You're Welcome! "Mean" Gene: What a despicable human being. I can assure you that Tito Santana will do no such thing. Well folks, we have six big matches signed, with a lot more to come. Wrestlemania is going to be the biggest show of the summer. Make sure to contact your Closed Circuit provider so you don't miss out! For Update, I'm Gene Okerlund! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 4- The Red Scare (Nikolai Volkoff/Boris Zhukov) defeated Dave Allen/Rocky King in 5:14 when Zhukov pinned Allen after a Running Headbutt _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: Tell us about it Alfred! Lord Alfred Hayes: Big Nikolai plants Dave Allen in the center of the ring with a huge bodyslam. He then tags in Boris who charges across the ring and just devastates Allen by running that gigantic cranium directly into his chest. There's no getting up from that. Vince McMahon: It is a large head isn't it Alfred? Lord Alfred Hayes: Oh indeed it is! Vince McMahon: Ha! Ha! Ha! We'll be right back with Sgt. Slaughter!!! -Commercial Break- _______________________________________________________________ -Match 5- Sgt. Slaughter over Frank Williams in 3:48 by submission with the Cobra Clutch After the match as Sgt. Slaughter was getting his hand raised in victory, Nikolai Volkoff and Boris Zhukov hit the ring and attacked him from behind. Just a few steps behind them came The Iron Sheik. The three of them began laying the boots to the fallen Slaughter much to the chagrin of the crowd. The Sheik stepped over Slaughter and was about to apply the Camel Clutch when a roar went up from the crowd and The Gunslingers charged into the ring wielding steel chairs! Sheik and Volkoff made it out of the ring, but Scott Casey was able to lay a good shot into the back of Boris Zhukov before he could make it out of the ring. Sheik and the Russians quickly escaped to the dressing room as Casey and Mantell helped Slaughter to his feet. _______________________________________________________________ Vince McMahon: OH MY!! It's a good thing The Gunslingers were still in the building! Lord Alfred Hayes: "Classy" Freddie Blassie was nowhere to be seen, but his men were certainly working together to orchestrate that attack. Sgt. Slaughter and The Iron Sheik have been rivals for quite some time. Vince McMahon: and there is certainly no love lost between The Gunslingers and The Red Scare either. It looks like the Sarge is okay, but you know he will be looking for some payback real soon! Lord Alfred Hayes: Oh, he most certainly will. Vince McMahon: Alright Ladies and Gentleman, we are going to take one last break, and then we understand that World Wrestling Federation President Jack Tunney has arrived and will be meeting with "Superstar" Billy Graham. We'll be right back. -Commercial Break- We return from break to see the elevated platform away from the ring where "Mean" Gene Okerlund is standing with a microphone in his hands. "Mean" Gene: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome the first of my two guests, World Wrestling Federation President, Jack Tunney! Tunney comes out dressed in his normal black suit and tie to a smattering of boo's from the crowd. He shakes hands with Okerlund and then stands stoically beside him. "Mean" Gene: and now please welcome my second guest, the man who will challenge Bob Backlund for the World Wrestling Federation Championship at Wrestlemania, "Superstar" Billy Graham!! The Superstar comes from the back, but instead of his normal attire he is wearing blue jeans, a Golds Gym t-shirt, and a brown leather jacket. He slaps hands with several fans, but is definitely not his normal flamboyant self. When he reaches the stage he shakes hands with both Okerlund and Tunney. "Mean" Gene: All right. "Superstar" Billy Graham, last week you asked for a face to face meeting with World Wrestling Federation President Jack Tunney, and here he is. So "Superstar" the stage is all yours. "Superstar" Billy Graham: Thank You Gene. But tonight, I'm not out here as the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour, the former WWF Heavyweight Champion of the World, "Superstar" Billy Graham! No, tonight I am out here as Billy Graham, the man who is a little older, and a little wiser, and who has a whole lot on his mind. Jack Tunney, I asked you to come here tonight, because I have to ask you for a favor. I have to ask you to do something that Billy Graham "The Superstar" of old would probably want to kick his own butt for, but Billy Graham the man, feel like has has to do. You see, back at the Saturday Night's Main Event, I had Bobby Backlund right where I wanted him. I had him beat, and he knew it, so he hit me low and got himself disqualified to save the title. After that, I was fired up and when the WWF granted me another shot at Backlund in the main event of Wrestlemania, I gotta tell ya, I felt like I was standing on top of the world. But then a couple weeks ago, Bobby Backlund came out here and did something so disgusting, so appalling, that everything changed. I spent a whole lot of years in this business being a mean motor scooter, and I did a lot of bad things to a lot of people. But there are just some lines you don't cross, and you don't attack a man's family. Now I know David Sammartino was a willing participant in that ring, but beating a man in the ring, and what Bobby Backlund did, are two totally different things. A lot of you people may not know this, but Billy Graham has a little boy at home. He's only about ten years old, but every day he tells me that one day he wants to be the Heavyweight Champion of the World like his daddy was, and I have to tell you that there is no greater feeling in the whole world. So to even think about someone doing to my son, what Bob Backlund did to Bruno's son, I gotta tell you brother, it makes my blood boil. So Jack Tunney, and before you ask, you better believe I've thought long and hard about this. I am asking you to allow a chance for a man to get some justice. I am asking you to allow a wrong to be righted. I am asking you....to allow "Superstar" Billy Graham to step aside... and give his Wrestlemania World Title match against Bob Backlund.... to Bruno Sammartino! The crowd goes nuts as "Mean" Gene puts on a look of pure shock, and Billy Graham nods his head and pumps his fist at the crowd reaction. Jack Tunney appears to be contemplating the decision when Okerlund regains his composure and brings the microphone around to him. Jack Tunney: Billy....if you want it..... Graham nods his head at Tunney Jack Tunney: and these fans want it... The roof nearly comes off the Allentown Agricultural Hall as they erupt at Tunney's words. Jack Tunney: Then at Wrestlemania, Bob Backlund will now defend the WWF World Heavyweight Championship against BRUNO SAMMARTINO! Another huge eruption as Graham raises his fist to the crowd and they are going wild. Vince McMahon: OH YEAH!!! Lord Alfred Hayes: My Word! Bruno Sammartino and Bob Backlund in the Main Event of Wrestlemania! Can you imagine! Vince McMahon: We don't have to imagine Alfred!! It's happening!! Ladies and Gentleman, that's it for Superstars this week, join us next week when we will see The Fantastics, the World Wrestling Federation return of "The Black Superman" Tony Atlas and much, much....wait.....I'm being told...you're kidding..... Lord Alfred Hayes: What is it? Vince McMahon: Ladies and Gentleman, the challenge from last week has been accepted. Right here next week we will see Pedro Morales go one on one with the WWF Champion, Bob Backlund!! You Can't Miss This!! SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!

Gilbert and Beefcake is definitely an unlikely pairing, but with Hyatt guiding them they seem to be working well together. A nice win over to open the big Seattle Showdown. Chaos ensues during the six man tag, and like the snake he is, Jake Roberts take advantage and plows Burke with the DDT to get the win. Hart has put together an impressive stable of Japanese talent. Smothers with the HUGE high spot to bring it home in the FCA match. Seems like Tracey might be poised to be the top babyface here one day in the future. Steamboat/Muraco is just a fantastic pairing, and this one doesn't disappoint. The visual of the Dragon using all of his strength to suplex Muraco for the finish is awesome. Zenk's impressive reign with the title comes to an end at the hands of "Ace." Orton used experience and patience to put the younger man away. Good stuff. White Angel is out, and Texas Red is in! You have done an awesome job with Mr. Calloway, turning him into quite the force without veering into what he could become. On this night he takes Terry Taylor to task, and another new champion is crowned. Speaking of potential top babyfaces, here is another definite possibility. Lanny picks up the huge win against Yamada after learning from his partners previous mistakes. Great continuity. A three way for the tag straps, and Buddy Rose loses even more power in the Pacific. Larry Cameron and Bill Dundee is an interesting combination, but that combination of power and technique could prove hard to overcome. Bigelow vs Gordy.....Wow....what a main event. Two monsters, and two of the best big men in the history of the business. Gordy picks up the win, and rightfully so in '85, but you've got a great champion and yet another future superstar. Rotunda and Spivey is an awesome combination! The chaotic ending leading to the Loser Leaves Town match is a great set-up. The Freebirds creeping on Missy Hyatt is A+ stuff that I could totally see happening. This will be a fun feud to follow, cause if they push Eddie Gilbert the wrong way, we all know that man get real nasty! Texas Red/Barbarian.....Damn, that's a freaking hoss fight! Gary Hart's stable is a very cool combination of talent. They can certainly be a force here, and will definitely be a pain in the side of the other stables. Spivey and Rotunda pick up the win in the LLT match, and you have to think that puts them closer to a shot at the tag titles. Adams/Kendo is a match I would definitely like to see. Oh Damn!! Rude and Manny take advantage of the injuries to Dundee and come away with the tag titles!! Raging and Ravishing is gonna be a lot of fun on top! Gordy and Blackwell..... Man, Gordy is running through the big men around here! Love Gordy on top. Always felt like he could have gone a whole lot further in the business than he did, so enjoy seeing him on top here a ton! Lots of good stuff going on in PCW!

Lawler and Tully is going to be such an epic feud. Two of the best talkers, two of the best cheaters, and two of the all around best. I hope this is some long term shit! Really digging the Master G's. You have such a stacked tag team division, I hope they get their shot eventually! Bob Roop is a great fit here in the USWA. His anger toward Yatsu is perfectly in character and that will be a good opening feud for him. Freaking awesome segment with Rich and Cooley! At first I thought it was coming, then I didn't, then WHAM...it did. Heel Tommy in '85....I am excited. Nice debut for the RPM's. Another nice addition to the tag division. Brenda is awesome, and the Blonde's were perfect first guests. They are my favorite team in USWA. Give them a title shot!! The Vinnie vignette's are great. As stacked as your tag division is, and now we are down to one set of belts! The competition just heated up even more!! Six Man Titles should be fun. Skaaland hyping up his team as too good to be there to fight The Club is classic stuff. Looking forward to seeing who they are. Ugggh.....Tiger Jeet Singh is the worst wrestler ever. So the Battens have gone from being Southern to being British. I like it! They should continue this trend any time they go on a losing streak. Glad to see Dick Slater picking up some momentum. I hope he does big things here. Orndorff is going to be a huge star here, I can feel it. Looking forward to him getting more in the mix. Great Stuff as always. looking forward to the Hammond Center
